What do you do when you're at a wedding with little for vegans to eat? You spend the weekend eating simply. Here's how it turned out for Doug, and what he took away from the experience. 

We sit down with Sid Garza-Hillman, nutritionist and author of Approaching the Natural, to talk about his four rules for healthy eating. And yes, there are only four!

Some may call it wacky, others... simple.

In today's episode we discuss the most important food lesson Matt has learned from nearly a decade of No Meat Athlete.

Unintentionally, this episode ended up a bit different. You'll just have to listen to find out why...

It's time for another big Q&A episode, where we answer listener submitted questions.

In this week's edition, we focus on nutrition related questions, ranging from eating for recovery to the value of plant-based meats.

Summer is nearing an end, which means now is the perfect time for a health reset. In today's episode, we share our goals for the next few months, and how we'll refocus on food, fitness, and good habits.

In today's episode we get personal, sharing our experiences and advice on dealing with pre-race and general anxiety. Get ready... this one goes deep.

How does a classically trained French chef turn into one of the most popular vegan recipe developers on Facebook?

Ask Jean-Philippe Cyr, The Buddhist Chef. He’s made a name for himself not by whipping up thousands of mediocre recipes, but by creating carefully crafted, reliable meals, and doing so in a mindful way.

We frequently share Jean-Philippe’s recipes in the Academy newsletter, so when we had the chance to bring him on the podcast to discuss his food philosophy, it was a no-brainer.

In today’s episode, Jean-Philippe Cyr shares his take on maximizing flavors, mindfulness, and why it’s important to keep recipes simple in order to grow this community.

Have we been approaching new healthy habits all wrong?

Your no hacks guide to creating more time for your healthy habits and lifestyle.

As adult vegans, we face certain challenges when traveling, at restaurants, or when we're outside our normal routines. But we always end up figuring it out.

But what does it look like when kids are involved? They're pickier, and the last thing we want to do is feed them junk just to get by.

In today's episode we explore how we feed our kids, both at home and when traveling.

Think you're ready to go vegan?

Here's the advice we wish someone had told us before we went plant-based.

Ever wonder what we eat on a typical day?

In today's episode, we break down exactly how we structure our meals to make sure we get everything we need to fuel our workouts, families, and adventures.

After a short break, we're back with a new season of NMA Radio. And I've got to say, we're pretty darn stoked.

Here's a rundown of everything you've missed over the past few weeks, and what to expect over the next several months from the new (and improved) NMA Radio.

Doug's Garden, Matt's Soccer Channel, and Announcing a 4-Week Break (Back June 14th)

Yoga's popularity has boomed over the past several years, but for many, it's still too intimidating to actually try.

In today's episode, Doug chats with his wife Katie, a certified Yoga Therapist and 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher, about how yoga can transform your life and how to get started.

Doug asks the many questions he had before his first class, and Katie shares how yoga can be a transformative and healing practice for all athletes.

What's it like to run a mountainous 100-mile ultramarathon? How about one that takes you 33 hours to complete?

In today's episode, Doug shares his report from the Hellbender 100, and why he almost didn't make it to the finish.

Life... it's stressful.

Work, kids, school, training, dishes, they all pile up draining you of energy and time, until suddenly, you no longer have any free-time to yourself.

Now, there are a lot of productivity gurus and self-help personalities pushing life-hacks and cheats to save 15 minutes here or free up a little time there, but rarely do they solve any of the lasting struggles overwhelming your day.

Jeff Sanders, a good friend of NMA, has a different approach.

You may remember Jeff from previous episodes of the podcast. He's the host of the 5AM Miracle, and has helped both Matt and I work on creating more productive, healthier morning routines.

Today we're bringing him back on, not to focus on mornings, but instead to help us understand how to identify and uproot the real causes of the procrastination and stress in our lives, and how to free up time to do what we love.

And to do that through the functional, real-life strategies -- not hacks -- outlined in his new book, The Free-Time Formula.

Stressed out by your plant-based diet, and unsure how you'll keep it going or if you're getting all the right nutrients?

Trust me, we've been there too.

So in today's episode, we share our thoughts on why diets end up becoming so stressful, and a simple approach to getting everything you need without a complicated meal plan.

Feeling stuck with your fitness or nutrition? We know the feeling...

In today's episode we discuss what it means for your health when you're "stuck," and whether getting unstuck should even be your focus.

You've got questions, we've got answers. In this Q&A episode, Matt and Doug cover everything from B12 absorption to shoe size, training speed, and the health benefits of peanuts.

Want to run an ultramarathon, but don't think you're ready?

In today's episode, Matt and Doug address the 4 big hangups runners have when it comes to training for an ultramarathon, including: fitness, time, trail running, and whether or not they have it in them.

That ultramarathon goal might just be closer than you think!

Runners, new and experienced, have all heard certain "rules." Hard and fast advice on how to train, recover, and experience the sport.

But we here at NMA Radio don't think all of those rules are beneficial. In today's episode we call out some of the running advice we've all heard (maybe even shared), and flip it on it's head.

People talk a lot about making sure you get all the nutrients you need on a plant-based diet, but what if we're looking at it all wrong? What if the bigger concern for everyone, not just vegans, is overnutrition? 

In today's episode we chat with Julieanna Hever and Ray Cronise, authors of Plant-Based Nutrition (Idiot's Guide) on their approach to eating healthy for the long-haul.

If you don't think you can build muscle on a whole-foods, plant-based diet, just take a look at Marcella Torres and Derek Tresize.

In today's episode we chat with Derek and Marcella on what vegans need to know about muscle gain, plus their resistance training philosophy, which has helped countless people get stronger, lose weight, and stay injury-free.
