RRP #36: Dr. Shay Shani on Holistic, Preventive & Functional Medicine

14 Jun 2013 in podcast

Today on the show, my main man Dr. Shay Shani — founder of Shani Clinic in Westlake Village, California– the guy who keeps me injury free and my body functioning at 100%.  As a board certified chiropractor, he makes sure I’m always properly aligned.  But to say he’s just a chiropractor is to vastly understate the scope of Shay’s gifts. With advanced post-doctorate training in Functional Blood Chemistry and Functional Endocrinology, an unparalleled compassion for his patients and acute ability to get...

RRP #35: Gene Baur of Farm Sanctuary on Factory Farming, Ag-Gag Bills, Health & Consumer Choice. Plus: T-SHIRT GIVEAWAY!

11 Jun 2013 in podcast

Today on the show I sit down with Gene Baur — activist, best-selling author and president & co-founder of Farm Sanctuary, the first animal rescue organization dedicated to farmed animals.  You might have seen him in the documentary Forks Over Knives.  And I’d be remiss in not mentioning his is a pretty darn good marathon runner prepping for his first Ironman this summer (on a plant-based diet of course). I’ve had plenty of vegans with strong points of view on the...

RRP #34: Christian Ledesma & Bob Groff: How PS244 Became the First U.S. Public School to Institute a Vegetarian School Lunch Program

05 Jun 2013 in podcast

  Today on the show I visit New York’s PS244 – The Active Learning Elementary School — in Flushing, Queens to chat with science teacher and Director of the school’s Wellness and Nutrition Program Christian Ledesma, as well as PS244′s Principal Bob Groff to find out how PS244 became the first public school in the United States to institute a vegetarian school lunch. But what I pleasantly discovered went well beyond a simple cafeteria upgrade.  PS244′s revolutionary school lunch program is just...

RRP #33: Roni Selig: Director of CNN’s Medical, Health & Wellness Unit

31 May 2013 in podcast

Not only is Roni Selig one of my favorite people, she is one busy woman, so I am honored that she carved out some quality time to sit down with me and do the podcast in the midst of her immersive (to put it mildly) work schedule at CNN, where she has the heady title of Director of the CNN Medical, Health & Wellness Unit in CNN’s New York City headquarters high above Columbus Circle.   In certain respects, I suppose...

Today on the podcast I sit down with Jason Wachob, co-founder and CEO of MindBodyGreen.com – the internet’s primary destination for all things wellness.  I first crossed Jason’s path back in 2009 and we have been fast friends with him and his wife Colleen ever since.  I love his vision and am so excited to share his story — and that of MindBodyGreen — with you. Not only has Jason placed an indelible mark on the new media scene with...

RRP #31: Mishka Shubaly Interviews Rich Roll

19 May 2013 in podcast

THE BEAST RETURNS!   Once again, I’m switching gears.  The interviewer becomes the interviewee.  Part II. Mishka was a super popular guest on the podcast about a month ago.  If you listened to the interview, you know we went deep — exhaustingly deep perhaps.  Despite the fact that I had never previously met Mishka face-to-face, I had a knowing sense that we would hit it off given our many points in common – writing, running, alcoholism & sobriety.  There was...

RRP#30: Osher Günsberg Interviews Rich: The Rich Roll Podcast

17 May 2013 in podcast

Today we switch gears a bit.   How? This time the interviewer becomes the interviewee.   Why?   In just a few days (May 21st to be exact), the paperback version of Finding Ultra hits bookstores — front table placement at Barnes & Noble! — or so I’ve been told….I’ll believe it when I see it — and online retailers.  It’s quite an honor that I am even getting a paperback release at all, and I want to make the...

RRP#28: Andy Bellatti MS, RD: The Rich Roll Podcast

02 May 2013 in podcast

Today on the show I welcome nutritionist and dietitian Andy Bellatti MS, RD.  Sure we talk plant-based and other issues related to optimal nutrition (hint: eat REAL FOOD!).   But what makes Andy unique amongst his peers isn’t so much his pro-plant bias as it is his passion for calling out the inextricable link between giant food corporations and how we innately come to think and feel about the foods we (often unconsciously choose to) eat.   From congressional legislation...

RRP#27: Mishka Shubaly: The Rich Roll Podcast

20 Apr 2013 in podcast

Today on the podcast we GO DEEP.   In the short lifespan of this show, I’ve had the honor of interviewing a wide variety of incredible guests — paradigm busting thought leaders pushing the boundaries of conventional wisdom on a myriad of health & fitness related subject matters. But there is an elephant in the room.  I’ve been waiting for the right guest to get into the issue closest to my heart — addiction & recovery. If you read my...
