Stop Staring At The Scale & Turn The Gaze Inward — The Emotional Drivers Behind Diet & Behavior (Plus: Tales From Das Plantpower Kochbuch German Book Tour)
On a rainy night from a little boutique hotel in the Montmartre district of Paris after a whirlwind book tour in Germany last week, I'm filled with gratitude to bring you another installment of Ask Me Anything — a twist on my normal format where Julie and I discuss issues currently on the brain and answer listener submitted questions. This week's topics include: * tales from Das Plantpower Kochbuch German book tour * the Berlin vegan scene * shopping at the world's first all vegan supermarket * hanging out with vegan strong man Patrik Baboumian * plant-based in Paris * vegan birthday at L'Arpège, the #12 best restaurant on Earth * why you should stop “dieting” * addressing the emotional drivers behind diet & behavior habits * plant-based on the road — tips and tools The show concludes with Aditya, an ancient Sanskrit mantra performed by Julie — aka SriMati – musically accompanied by our sons Tyler & Trapper Piatt. A mantra intended to imbue our lives with vibrant health, the lyrics (very) loosely translated from the root Sankskrit go something like this: Om to the solar universal energy / Protect me from enemies within and without / I chant your name ceaselessly and victoriously / I bow to you Special thanks to everyone who submitted inquiries — keep ‘em coming! An extra special thanks to everyone who took a moment to send me a birthday message. I greatly appreciate it. Beginning my 50th year feeling awesome! I sincerely hope you enjoy the conversation.
