Podcasts are all the rage right now. My daily new obsession is listening to a podcast during my morning cardio session. Podcasts give me inspiration, motivation, and it's a great way to learn something new every day. I wanted to share episodes from my favorite podcasts that have given me lots of great information on the plant-based diet and how it can benefit in different ways. I hope you give these episodes a listen, and it gives you the motivation and knowledge to make simple changes for a better mind, body, and soul.
