Description:

North Americans are chronically over-stressed and as a result are experiencing poor-quality sleep, general fatigue, and are developing sickness and disease in record numbers. While it is common practice to merely treat the symptoms, learn how plant-based nutrition and a properly-constructed fitness program address the underlining cause and therefore will significantly reduce overall stress, without a loss in productivity.

Find out why it’s almost impossible to boost athletic performance while your stress level is high, and more importantly, what to do about it. Additionally, learn how building fitness can reduce the amount of sleep required, stimulate creativity, decrease the need for downtime and cut the risk of sickness and disease.
 
How to significantly reduce your carbon footprint by adopting a plant-based diet

Animal agriculture contributes more to climate change than all of transportation combined. Citing recent United Nations reports, Brendan will show how each of us has the power to significantly reduce the effects of climate change by simply changing what we eat.

Learn how you can dramatically reduce your carbon footprint by switching to a plant-based diet. For example, if just one person swapped out a standard American breakfast for a nutrient-rich, plant-based smoothie for one year, it would save the equivalent in greenhouse gas emissions as driving a midsize car (26mpg) from Vancouver, BC to Tijuana, Mexico.
