The Juicy Bits:

1. A chiropractor is less drug-driven than a traditional doctor. Dr. Frank is science-driven and is focused on removing the obstacle to optimal health.
2. The whole mentality of the medical profession is counter to how the body works. The symptom is not THE PROBLEM, rather, it's the way the body manifests its own approach to recovery.
3. Doctors are not healthcare providers... they are disease managers.
4. Acute medical issues are things like infections and broken bones that need to be addressed immediately. Chronic degenerative issues have lot of contributing factors, so taking a pill for a migraine doesn't address the root cause. There are many solutions to the problem.
5. It's not about being good or bad, it's about evolution, growth, and change, and the process of owning out choices and improving our health.
6. Spirituality is about asking, "How do you choices affect the bigger picture?"
7. As much as 80-85% of food grown goes to feed animals, (not humans), which provide only about 15% of the world's calories. It take 100 times more land to produce 1 pound of animal protein than it does plant protein. All of this inefficiency leads to horrific food insecurity. About 25,000 people (including 10,000 children) die every single day of hunger.
8. Empathy, compassion, and love are fundamental to who we are as a species. Unfortunately, conditioning shapes our beliefs about compassion and forces us away from our innate feelings.
9. Colors in food have emotional vibration. The vibratory qualities of what we're putting in our bodies daily impact our physical and emotional health.
10. Carnivores (who've evolved to eat that way) have the shortest lifespans. Herbivores, like elephants and hippos, have the longest lifespans.
11. Genes are coding proteins. Epigenetics are lifestyle behaviors that affect genes, proving that genes can be modified by our choices.
12. Medicine, science, and spirituality are actually all connected.
13. Dr. Frank's favorite foods: Buddha bowls with rice, beans, vegetables, tahini, and lemon juice; fresh fruit; salads; steamed potatoes and quinoa; fruit juice with sparkling water; nuts and seeds.

The Juicy Bits:

1. Veganism is not just about avoiding harm; it's embracing something that's exciting and good, and leaning into authenticity and living your values.
2. There are so many different entry points to veganism. Check out my interview with Thomas Jackson to hear 6 of the reasons to go vegan.
3. Veganism is the interconnectedness of health, loving animals, and being kind to nature.
4. Dr. Melanie Joy coined the term CARNISM, which is the deeply conditioned and invisible belief system that says it's okay to eat certain animals. We don't question carnism, we just follow it.
5. With cognitive dissonance, we can change behaviors or compartmentalize so we don't feel out of alignment with our values.
6. Being true to oneself as a vegan doesn't mean it's one's responsibility to change other people.
7. Practices to stay grounded: include yourself in the self-care circle, have a morning routine of meditation, journaling, exercise, prayer, and affirmations, limit exposure to traumatizing content
8. Benefits of veganism include: lightness, being in touch with intuition, compassion, improved mood
9. Angela's favorite vegan foods: veggie burgers, soups, curries, veggie lasagna, and vegan crabcakes
