Vegan novelist Camille DeAngelis with her first nonfiction book, Life Without Envy: Ego Management for Creative People, followed by Joel Kahn, MD, America’s Holistic Heart Doc and my fellow “Peta’s Sexiest Vegan Over 50″ this year, join me today for a totally delightful, inspiring, and mega-information-packed program.
Here are some stellar quotations from novelist, nonfiction author, and Main Street Vegan-certified Vegan Lifestyle Coach and Educator Camille DeAngelis:
[In writing Life Without Envy] ” I learned the difference between success and satisfaction.”
[Re: people who think they aren’t creative]: “We’re all creative…You create your life one decision at a time.”
[How to express your creativity]: “Find a need and fill it in a way only you can do.”
[Veganism/creativity connection]: “My creativity is no longer blocked because I’m not eating the fear of slaughtered animals.”

Coming for Camille: (tentative title) Tender Heart: The Creative Benefits of Compassionate Eating. Don’t you love this? I’ll be sure to have her back when this new book is published.
And some ah-hah quotations from my interview with Joel Kahn, MD:
“Lifestyle medicine should be the first 5 notes on any prescription: diet, exercise, sleep, social support, stress management.”
[3 “Renaissance” worlds within medicine today]: “1. Plant-based/vegan medicine. 2. Lifestyle medicine. 3. Functional/holistic medicine. The second two aren’t necessarily plant-based, but they’re certainly plant-strong; any healthy diet has to be. There are times when a patient needs more than a plant-based diet alone. It’s the most important thing, the way an airbag is your best defense in case of a car accident, but sometimes it isn’t enough, and then acupuncture or certain supplements have a role to play.”
[On yoga]: “It’s known that the more flexible your spine, the more likely you are to have clear arteries.”
“We have 50,000 miles of arteries — that’s twice around the earth — and they are lined with endothelial cells that make nitric oxide. You can help this process by eating spinach, other leafy greens, and beets. But don’t use harsh mouthwash — it can kill the bacteria on your tongue needed for this process.”
“You want to extend your health span, not just your lifespan.”
