Ellie is a genetics nutritionist, the founder of Vojo health, vegan runner and a whirlwind of knowledge. As we converse we delve right into our genes and how our bodies deal with certain nutrients, why its harder for some of us to absorb the essentials such as Omega-3 and Iron, how genetic predispositions don't necessarily have to be our destiny and how we should learn to work with our genes and not against them, tailoring our diets to suit them for optimal function.  We both as vegans discuss the foods we consume to get the most out of our athletic performance and find out why some foods work for us compared to other sources Of course, if you would like to learn about your genetics, Vojo health will be happy to help give you an in-depth breakdown of how your body optimises nutrients to give you a complete health and genetics analysis run down in which you can tailor your genetic needs to your nutrition. With a swab to the mouth, it has never been so easy to extract your DNA and get insights into how your genetics work.

Season 1 - Episode 5  Dr Anthony Rafferty  Welcome back to another episode of the Plant Fuelled Podcast with me, your host Callum Weir. Today I am joined by Dr Anthony Rafferty MBChB, BSc, MEM, PhD (@goodgutdoc) to deep dive into the gut to discuss gut and microbial health. It has been an absolute pleasure to converse with Anthony and such a learning experience for me and I hope you too as the listener. In this episode, we explore why your gut health matters, how to improve your guts microbiome, how we are only really 10% human and how our microbes react when consuming different foods. Does your gut health affect your athletic performance? Do I have enough plant diversity within my weekly diet? Am I worried about protein when I should really be worrying about fibre? These are all questions that are answered in great depth with an outstanding amount of knowledge and ease. While we discuss the importance of good gut health we also jump into how Anthony's journeys through different careers ended up with him becoming a gut doctor. Of course, if you follow Anthony online, I don't think we could end this episode without finding out a bit more about the animals that you see crop up on his pages such as the best-fed pigs in all of Ireland, Annie and Oscar. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did and look forward to seeing you on the next episode of the Plant Fuelled Podcast  If you would like to see more of Dr Anthony, learn about the gut or see the adventures of a plant-based doctor then why not follow. @goodgutdoc Peace and plants 🌱  Callum  If you are looking for daily plant-based and vegan science-backed nutrition, facts, hacks, tips and recipes follow @yumfu.life If you need help with your 2022 goals on a plant-based diet, whether this is a plant-based transition, plant-based weight loss or muscle gain, plant-based bodybuilding or achieving your athletic endeavours on a plant-based diet then why not visit www.yumfu.life to see how I can help you achieve your goals with a free consultation.

Season 1 - Episode 3  Annette Henry Welcome back to the Plant Fuelled Podcast with me your host Callum Weir, In today's episode I speak to Annette Henry, we jump right into the world of what it's like to live with endometriosis, the pain, the struggles, the ups and downs of living with this condition and of course the one book that did what medical treatment could do...... cure it. Annette by chance discovered a book surrounding nutrition and endometriosis and gave it a shot quickly finding out that a lifestyle void of certain food products eased and cured not only endometriosis but another smaller condition many of us consider just part of yearly life. This episode is an eye-opener to anyone who has been struggling with this condition and for me and many others that can never go through it ourselves.  Annette now consumes an exclusively whole food plant-based vegan diet and promotes the benefits of whole foods online. Annette and her husband Graham Henry who was on the first episode of this show with another incredible journey of his own both run the plant-centric nutrition hub that is Henry & Henry that focuses on giving the world the information, the resources and science-backed evidence plant-based nutrition that is widely underrepresented throughout modern society Annette with the growing business has now incorporated her passion and love for meditation into the programme to help people sit back, de-stress and relieve ourselves from their everyday lives.

Season 1 - Episode 2  Lucas Vasillis  Welcome back to the Plant Fuelled Podcast, I am your host Callum Weir and this week guest is Lucas Vasillis, in this episode, we jump into what the last year has been like for Lucas since he decided to go vegan the night before veganuary 2021, We discuss the reasons in why he decided to jump onto the veganuary campaign.  After delving into a discussion we find out what he has found hard, what's been a walk in the park, how going vegan has affected his fitness regimes, the best and worst alternatives, why going straight to a whole foods diet didn't work for him and now incorporates a whole foods approach into meals and the push backs he may have faced when making that change to a vegan diet. We hope that this episode helps people who are in the midst of veganaury 2022 and future veganuary members to realise that there are going to be mistakes along the way, there are going to be ups and downs, mistakes from misread packaging, and it's inevitable it will happen but it gets easier as you take each day in veganuary as a baby step to a better you for the animals, your health and the planet.

Season 1 - Episode 1  Graham Henry  Welcome to the first-ever episode of the Plant Fuelled Podcast with me your host Callum Weir and my first guest of the year Graham Henry. Graham and I delve into his past life, discussing issues of his lifestyle, being constantly on the move and struggles with weight and health. Grahams life started to change when he started to eat like his now-wife Annette who was in the midst of delving into the world of nutrition to reverse her own condition.  The pounds started to drop off, relieving Graham from his medication and old eating habits allowing him to find this the new version of himself.  The transformation is mindblowing and will leave you wondering if it's even the same person and this is all down to the power of plants. Graham now follows a completely whole food plant-based diet, in ore of the wonders and powers that the natural world has given us by nature to allow our lives to function and thrive while promoting longevity  Although following a "vegan" diet, we differentiate the difference between the marketed mainstream vegan diet which can involve the consumption of vegan junk foods, and whole-food plant-based vegan diet which avoids the consumption of vegan junk foods and focuses on plants in the nearest to natural form. After delving into the world of nutrition, Graham and Annette now run the plant-centred nutrition hub "Henry & Henry" that focuses on giving the world the information, resources and science-backed evidence nutrition that is missing in today's society. over the last year, Henry & Henry has grown and evolved, getting bigger and better as the days go on with amazing opportunities arising such as being affiliated with plant-based health online.
