COME ALIVE | Episode 3 - The Mighty Liver
Welcome to the Plant Based Academy Podcast, where Nikki and Zuzana share simple steps and building blocks for true health and lasting well-being. Together let’s explore a better path that leads to a healthy future for people and the planet.
The liver is one of the organs that doesn’t get the attention that it deserves. We don’t give it the credit for all the jobs and functions it has to perform for us every single day and almost all health conditions (either physical or emotional,), beauty problems and premature aging are closely linked with the declined liver.

COME ALIVE | Episode 2 – What Causes Disease?
Welcome to the Plant Based Academy Podcast, where Nikki and Zuzana share simple steps and building blocks for true health and lasting well-being. Together let’s explore a better path that leads to a healthy future for people and the planet.
Many of us fear disease. Just take a look at the world right now. Many people are living in fear. Fear of becoming ill, or their loved ones becoming ill.
We are afraid of disease, and the consequences it would have on our lives if we get ill.
Yet majority of people have very little understanding of how the human body functions and what actually causes disease. So if we want to understand how to be healthy, it's important and very helpful to understand what causes disease. If we understand it, there is less chance that we will fear it.
More on this episode:
- What is disease?
- The real roots of disease
- How fear leads to suffering and disease and how to get out of it

#84 The Power of Intuition: How to Connect with Your True Self
Understanding what intuition is and learning to use as a part of our lives can be very powerful! We all have a natural capacity for intuition, but often social conditioning and formal education work against it. Most of us are taught to ignore our gut feelings and instincts rather than to understand and use them as a foundation for personal growth and development―and in the process, we undermine the very roots of the innate wisdom that is meant to guide us towards manifesting our desires and true happiness.
In this episode, Nikki and Zuzana identify exactly what intuition is and offer suggestions for how to tap into this amazing guiding system we all have within us.
In this episode, we talk about:
- So what is intuition?
- How do you connect with your intuition?
- Tips to strengthen your intuition
- How do you balance intuition and logic?
**Includes specific tips designed to help you nourish and support your natural intuitive gifts.

#83: Coronavirus, Cancer and Building Resilient Health
“Health. It’s the way to enjoy your life.”
The immune system is the cornerstone of your health and well being and the best defence against illness and disease. Your immune health depends on the lifestyle choices you make every day. By supporting your body's own natural ability to defend itself against pathogens, you will not only have resistance to colds and flu but to other illnesses and modern-day diseases that might come your way.
In our latest podcast episode, we share our thoughts on the global Coronavirus pandemic, the increase rate of cancer cases and ways you can build resilient health. Arm yourself and your family with the tools to strengthen your immune system and become resilient to the “modern-day” diseases.
Enjoy! 💚✨ - Z&N

AV 081 - How To Break Free From Diets & Build A Healthy A Relationship With Food
In this episode, I got to chat with Cara Carin Cifelli as she shares her passion for helping women (and men) heal their relationship with food and their body image.
We talked about the "four bodies" and Cara breaks down what each body looks (feels) like and the ways we can recognize if we are out of balance, and if we are, how to we can realign ourselves.
This conversation leads us to “anti-diet” and talking about the relationship we can cultivate with food so it can nourish us rather than bombard us and makes us feel like prisoners. Through that conversation, Cara gets vulnerable and shares her personal experience with food and how she healed her relationship with it.

AV 080 - What are your thoughts on a plant-based keto diet?
In this episode, we are going to answer a question that keeps coming our way on a regular basis these days – What are your thoughts on a plant-based keto diet?
A ketogenic diet has become one of the most popular diet approaches in recent years, with everyone from celebrities to fitness gurus claiming that it can boost energy levels, sharpen focus and shed excess weight. Keto diet that consists of high amounts of fats and a very limited amount of carbohydrates is pretty much the opposite of the whole food plant-based approach. Yet some people are combining these two diets into what is referred to as - Plant-Based Keto Diet or Ketotarianism
In this episode, we talk about
What are the benefits and side effects of a ketogenic diet?
Is plant-based keto possible?
Keto and gut health
Carbs are not the enemy
Short term weight loss and long term suffering
