He had some very interesting things to say about vegan nutrition. Obviously promoting his product, Vega, but at the same time talking about how nutrition affects our lives. I would have really liked to get his book, Thrive: The Vegan Nutrition Guide to Optimal Performance in Sports and Life, but I am majorly lacking funds at the moment.
He mentioned cortisol creating issues with quality of sleep, tiredness during the day, hard time losing excess fat, craving of starches and sweets at night, and more which all seemed to make sense. The stress from life as well as eating foods hard to digest and with poor nutrition can cause the cortisol to increase. I would definitely like to read more up on this.
I did try all the samples of his products and the only one I could stomach was the Vega Whole Food Health Optimizer line, except for the natural. The taste of all his other smoothies and drinks were not so good. The Whole Food Vibrancy Bars & Vega Energy Bars weren't too bad, but the Maca Chocolate Bar (although I can't seem to find the link for that one) was QUITE tasty. All of his products are said to provide complete nutrition with daily RDA's of vitamins and more, and are said to help cleanse the body of bad things, but I'm not sure if I am sold for the price.
What are your thoughts on supplemental nutrition?
