Toronto VegFest and CNN FitNation Weekend with Sanjay Gupta & Chrissie Wellington

11 Sep 2012 in health

I just back from a fantastic weekend in Toronto speaking at the 28th Annual Vegetarian Food Festival.  The largest of it’s kind in North America (over 40,000 attendees last year!), it was an honor to be invited to participate. I am touched and overwhelmed by all the people that turned out to see me speak (the 300-seat theatre sold out on Saturday and they had to turn away a ton of people!).  Strong testament to the growing force that is...

6 Ways to Experience Deeper Love and Intimacy in Your Marriage or Relationship

05 Sep 2012 in spirituality

[NOTE: This is a post by my wife Julie Piatt that was originally published on MindBodyGreen.  Her words are wise and have kept me sane and on the path, so I thought it worth to repost here.  I hope you enjoy her perspective.] 6 Ways to Experience Deeper Love and Intimacy in Your Marriage or Relationship By Julie Piatt Last month MindBodyGreen published a short piece entitled, “Let Go, Surrender, Have Faith,” which featured a quote of mine cribbed from...

Appearance on CNN Headline News with Jane Velez-Mitchell

06 Jul 2012 in vegan

Because I’m convinced nobody actually saw this, here is the clip from my recent appearance on CNN Headline News with Jane Velez-Mitchell a few weeks back. It was a surreal experience, to say the least.  In the “Green Room” at CNN HQ in NYC (which I shared with legal pundit Jeffrey Toobin, who proceeded to aggressively ignore me), I was told that I wouldn’t actually appear in the same studio as Jane, but instead chime in from a small studio next...

Introducing JAI REPAIR PlantPower™ Recovery Formula

03 Jul 2012 in nutrition

I am so pleased to formally (and finally!) announce the official launch of JAI REPAIR — my first performance nutrition product. If you read Finding Ultra, then you will likely recall that I mention this product a few times, an offering that has actually been available since the day the book came out on May 22.  But I refrained from making any formal or detailed product announcement or promotion until now to ensure that our online store is functioning bug-free...

Introducing SriMati

20 Jun 2012 in spirituality

I am beyond proud to announce that today my beautiful and wildly talented wife released her first official offering as a musician, her debut album entitled “Mother of Mine” by SriMati (aka Julie). If you read my book (or this blog with any regularity), then you know that I revere Julie – she is a powerhouse, talented in countless disciplines, and a master of manifestation among many other amazing qualities.  So it is only appropriate that she offers her music...

Products & Prose

30 May 2012 in books

The book is finally out and the response has been wildly enthusiastic.  I am so touched by everyone’s kind messages expressing their positive reaction to the read.  It truly warms my heart, so thank you.  I am inundated with e-mail, but I have every intention of responding personally to everyone who has taken the time to reach out – particularly those who related their own intimate struggles with health, fitness, and their place in life.  Know for now that I...

Why Every Athlete Should Do Yoga

22 May 2012 in yoga

Below is an article I recently wrote for MindBodyGreen – the destination for all things PLANTPOWER, yoga, meditation and just plain wellness.  It seemed to be a rather popular post — tons of great comments — so thought I would reprint it here in case you missed it.  I hope you enjoy it. Just the other day I was having dinner with an old swimming buddy of mine, Mark Henderson, a former world record holder and Olympic Gold Medalist in the 4×100 Medley...

Finding Ultra — Official Movie Trailer

20 May 2012 in books

“Real Wealth is Ideas Plus Energy”- Buckminster Fuller I don’t see this as a mere truism, but as a mandate.  And the more I can embody this ethos, the wealthier I become. Everything starts with an idea.  The energy you put behind it alters reality.  Well combined, it’s an unstoppable duo. So much of who I am is a manifestation of my efforts to embody this edict. Today marks further validation of Bucky’s words. 5 years ago, I was lost,...

The PlantPower Hour :: Episode 1 :: Greg Smith

19 May 2012 in nutrition

[NOTE: Since posting this interview, Greg ran 90 MILES in his first ever ultra this past Saturday.  Quite amazing (and inspiring) given that the guy had never before run more than 20 consecutive miles in his life -- if that -- and trained only 8 weeks for the event.  He e-mailed me yesterday to say that he could have never accomplished this feat had he not switched up his diet as demonstrated in our interview.  Huge congrats, Greg!] Proud to...
