What if the food you eat could not only enhance your physical health, but also your spiritual health, as well as the health and wellbeing of the entire planet?

Today’s podcast guest, Dr Will Tuttle, PhD, says that what’s on our plates is indeed this powerful. He says that by making conscious choices about the food we eat, we can create a ripple effect that leads to widespread spiritual health, social harmony and even world peace. It’s an incredibly inspiring model for change, and in this episode, he’s walking us through the practical daily steps we can take to trigger this ripple effect and create a kinder, healthier planet.

Dr. Will Tuttle is a world renowned vegan activist, visionary author of the acclaimed best-seller The World Peace Diet, and a recipient of the Courage of Conscience Award and the Empty Cages Prize.

A vegan since 1980, he is a frequent radio, television, and online presenter, and has created several wellness and advocacy training programs. He completed his PhD at U.C., Berkeley, studying intuition and altruism, and has been featured in Cowspiracy and other documentary films. Dr Tuttle’s mission is to cultivate respect for all life, and show the world how a vegan lifestyle can lead to a more compassionate, abundant life for all.

This conversation was hugely eye-opening. I love how Will connects so many dots to show how both our internal and external landscapes are impacted by our dietary choices. His advice is practical, actionable and so inspiring. And so is the ultimate question he wants us all to ask ourselves: what kind of world could we co-create if we were more conscious about our food choices?

So if you want to learn how to decode the hidden cultural meaning in your daily meals, how a plant based lifestyle can unlock epic abundance in your life, and how YOU can contribute to the evolution of our collective consciousness, then pop in those earbuds… this one’s for you.
