Today’s episode is with Decio Lopes. Decio works with Orlando City Soccer and happens to be the Director of an amazing film that premiered in 2015 at a film festival here in Orlando called “Making History.” I live in Orlando as most of you know and am a big fan of Orlando City Soccer, so I had to have Decio on the show. I reached out to him for an interview and he originally had to turn me down because he did not feel 100% comfortable speaking with me in English, so I reached back out again with my good friend Natalia, who is bilingual and happens to be the biggest Orlando City fan in all of Central Florida. Her and her husband have been to all the games and have been season ticket holders since day one. These people bleed purple folks! So with Natalia on board to do the interview for me in Spanish, Decio agreed to talk with me. So as you might guess, today’s podcast is completely in Spanish, but if you visit leangreendad.com in the podcast section, you can find a full transcript of the interview in English, so check it out if English is your first language. It was an awesome interview and he is a great man. Now back to the film. As I said, the film is called Making History and it is a documentary about this amazing football club’s journey to the MLS and follows them through their very first MLS game. So without further ado, here is my interview, well Natalia’s interview….with Decio Lopes from orlando city soccer.

What you will learn in this episode:
There are phases to a vegan diet. In fact, when you first start out, you can get pretty frustrated. The frustration stems from others not knowing what you know when it comes to how great you feel eating more fruits and veggies. No worries. That frustration will go away. Your job will become one that inspires others. Your job is not to convert them to veganism. It is to inspire and help them understand that you are an open book that is ready to talk whenever they are.

So you have a whole food, plant based teen at home and they are starving! Well…not literally starving, but you know what I mean…they’re hungry what seems like all the time. They are struggling to keep their teenager calorie intake high. Forget the fact that all teenagers have raging hormones and their metabolism is as fast as a Tesla (vegan car, by the way). How the heck do you keep them full? Are they even getting enough calories? In this blog post, inspired by one of my readers, Cathy, I am going to cover just a few ideas on how we might be able to tame the beast that is the plant based teen.

What You Will Learn In This Episode: (from Katie Kindelan of ABC NEWS) Full story HERE.
Joan's transformation journey began five years ago when she said she was fatigued, suffering from painful arthritis, and struggled to walk up and down stairs.
Joan MacDonald's breaking point, she said, came when she was told by a doctor that her blood pressure was rising and she would need to again increase her medication.
Her daughter, Michelle, was visiting her at the time and challenged her to make changes to her diet and exercise to improve her quality of life.
"When Michelle gave me that ultimatum to do something about my life, I figured it's now or never," Joan MacDonald said. "I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. It was existing, not living."
