I freaking love you guys! I’m laughing so hard at you, I just peed myself!

After 25 years of drinking an obscene amount of coffee every single day, I recently made the decision to break up with my caffeine addiction.  Apparently my milf-spiration J-Lo doesn't drink coffee for skin health reasons. And I was really hoping that I'd notice many health benefits myself, mostly an improvement in my throat clearing without a major decrease in energy. How did this experiment go? You'll have to listen to find out!

#79: The Skin and Health Benefits of Quitting Coffee

We had 180 cubes world wide hosting an event on such an historical day. 10s, if not 100s of 1000s of people came face to face with the animal suffering and abuse they cause whether it be in an outreach conversation with an activist or, by simply passing pay and seeing the footage. Society programmed and manipulated their way into our hearts and minds to having us go against our own values and beliefs without us even knowing and realizing it. Take your values back, put them into action and #govegan. After you do that, join us and start speaking for the them.They need us. For the animals...

November is deer hunting season here in Ontario, Canada. And the very reason why I (Sam) stopped eating animals at eight-years-old. Yes, it's an incredibly depressing time of year for me because of my personal connection to the beautiful deer that live out here. So naturally, I've been trolling hunters all month long via the local facebook groups! Which then led to a random chat with Sarah that we decided last minute to record. So this podcast episode is a short one but you vegans will no doubt appreciate it. Enjoy!

#80: Hunting Season Hoopla!

Just in time for Valentine's Day, I am bringing you a very sexxxy and oh-so-taboo interview with one of my very own JOTB vegan clients: Professional Dominatrix Estelle Sinclair! Yes, we are diving into ALL the topics on this spicy episode! From farting fetishes and blindfolding to promoting veganism via sexual domination, we are learning ALL the tips from this alpha female. Just don't let your kids listen to this one!

#81: Interview with Vegan Professional Dominatrix Estelle Sinclair

It's no surprise that I love to nerd out on numbers when it comes to my health and fitness. Tracking my calories and macros is of course, something I've done for years already.  But only recently have I become fascinated with tracking my body composition metrics.  I'm talking how much fat weight I have vs. muscle mass, bone density and water floating around inside my hot vegan bod! It's really fascinating stuff not to mention an absolute game changer when it comes to making progress with my training and nutrition efforts. And today, I'm sharing why I think these metrics are so damn important for all of us to know right here on the podcast. Enjoy!

#82: The Importance of Knowing your Body Composition Metrics

Vabbing: The weird and gross TikTok trend where women literally take their vaginal discharge and place it behind their ears or perhaps on their neck and wrists (much like they would a perfume.) Apparently this attracts more male attention. Who the hell is actually doing this though?  And WTF is wrong with people?!  Naturally, I (Sam) had to try it for myself and see if there was any validity to it whatsoever. And I bet you Jacked on the Beanstalk podcast listeners can't wait to find out how my "vabbing experiment" went.

#83: The Vabbing Experiment

This episode comes to you via one of our very own podcast listeners who recently turned vegan and is never looking back! Yes, apparently our new listener Jack was just so damn inspired by our podcast that it turned him vegan! And in doing so, he actually had a lot of great questions for us that we thought we'd turn into a whole damn episode. So today, we're covering everything from fake vegan meats to the best and worst fast food options for vegan bodybuilders. Plus we're sharing our thoughts on whether vegans get sick less often than meat eaters. And finally, is it better to train with higher reps and lighter weights or heavier weight with lower reps? Enjoy!

#84: "New to Vegan Bodybuilding" Listener Questions Answered

Oh how I hope that none of the guys I've dated in the past listen to my podcast! Nevertheless, on this episode, we are diving into bodily smells yet again!  But more specifically, why I always seem to detect this strong, pungent odour emitting from some of the steroid using, meat-loving guys I meet.  I have always held this theory that it was some kind of predator vs. prey pheromones-type reaction going on.  Perhaps my vegan body's way of saying "they are not a match for you." Whatever it was, I knew I had to research. And of course, share my findings with my beloved podcast listeners.  Enjoy!

#85: Steroid Stink and the Carnivore Diet

"Your mouth is the gateway to your body and your oral health is a huge indicator to your overall health" says Trina Felber of Primal Life Organics! And we are stoked to dive into all things teeth and gum health with her on this episode of the podcast! Yes guys, most of us don't even realize (myself included) that we are de-mineralizing our teeth all the time even via brushing our teeth with NATURAL toothpaste! So be sure to give this one a listen and start loving your mouth as much as you love your body!

#86: Healthy Mouth = Healthy Body: Interview with Trina Felber

It's been a long time since we've had our good friend (vegan chef / nutritionist) Amy Longard on the podcast! Definitely a good time to have her back though as many of our clients have already given up on their New Year's resolution to "get fit & healthy." And being busy, self-employed moms ourselves, we wanted to share some of our best health tips and mom hacks on how we prioritize our own health and fitness.  AND promote a new & exciting, super interactive, virtual 4-week long group training and nutrition program we're launching together called "Fit & Healthy Over 40." So give this episode a listen and be sure to hit up my website for more info on the program.
