What if your doctor prescribed vegetables instead of pills?Today’s guest, Dr. Michael Klaper, is not only asking that question—he’s built his life’s work around answering it. A graduate of the University of Illinois College of Medicine, Dr. Klaper trained in surgery, anesthesiology, orthopedics, and obstetrics across top institutions in North America. But afteryears in clinical practice, he came to a life-changing realization: true healing doesn’t come from prescriptions alone—it comes from lifestyle, especially what we put on our plates.Now an internationally recognized teacher, clinician, and speaker, Dr. Klaper has become a leading voice in the movement to integrate nutrition into mainstream medicine. He teaches that a whole-food, plant-based diet can not only prevent but often reverse many chronic diseases that dominate our healthcare system today. Through his groundbreaking initiative, Moving Medicine Forward, he’s reaching medical students across the globe with a simple but revolutionary message: food is medicine, and nutrition belongs at the heart of medical education.In our conversation, we dive into his personal transformation, the systemic flaws in how physicians are trained, and the uphill battle to shift medicine toward prevention. We also discuss the dangers of modern diets, the influence of pharmaceutical interests, the importance of research integrity, and the growing health concerns in younger generations. Whether you're a doctor, a patient, or someone curious about the future of healthcare, this conversation will leave you inspired, informed, and empowered to take charge of your health. Timestamps: 03:50 Introduction to Dr. Klaper's Journey.07:40 The Shift to Plant-Based Medicine.10:0  0 The Importance of Nutrition in Medical Education.14:55 The Healing Power of Food.22:35 The Role of Education in Dietary Change.26:40 Moving Medicine Forward Initiative.29:50 Integrating Nutrition into Medical Curriculum.34:40 The Shift to Online Education.35:30 Moving Medicine Forward: A New Generation of Doctors.36:40 Navigating Pushback from Pharmaceutical Interests.38:45 Engaging Medical Students in Nutrition Education.41:30 The Importance of Research Integrity.43:15 The Consequences of a Meat-Based Diet.45:25 The Dangers of Modern Diets.46:55 Parenting and Nutrition Education.50:00 The Taste of Plant-Based Foods.51:30 The Dangers of Fish Consumption.52:15 The Impact of Microplastics on Health.55:00 Defining Happiness. Documentaries mentioned in the conversation:“Cowspiracy““Seaspiracy““What The Health““Forks Over Knives“ Where to find Dr. Klaper:Website: https://www.doctorklaper.com/Website MMF: https://www.movingmedforward.org/Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/doctorklaper/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelklapermd/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DoctorKlaperFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=michael%20klaper%2C%20m.d. Where to find Juan and Wave Business Excellence Footprint:Website Wave BEF: www.wave-bef.comWebsite: Health, Happiness & Planet: https://www.wave-bef.com/health-happiness-planetInstagram: Health, Happiness & Planet: https://www.instagram.com/health_happiness_planet/LinkedIn Juan Steigerwald: https://www.linkedin.com/in/juan-eduardo-steigerwald-01710b1/YouTube WAVE BEF: https://www.youtube.com/@wavebusinessexcellencefoot1034 Feel free to contact Wave team at any time. If the links are not clickable on your platform, please access them directly from our website at www.wave-bef.com under the 'Podcasts' category.

What if I told you that the plastic cup you just tossed into a Starbucks recycling bin will never actually be recycled?Our guest is Susan Keefe. Susan founded a consulting business called Eco Forward, which is certified as a California Green Business and she also works as, the Southern California Director for Beyond Plastics. She’s, an environmental advocate fighting to reduce single-use plastics via education and the creation/enforcement of strong plastic policies. She also works to expose false recycling claims and demand honesty from corporations and local municipalities. Last year, Susan personally investigated Starbucks' so-called "recyclable" plastic cups alongside her colleague, retired chemical engineer,  Jan Dell. They brought the story to CBS television to prove that, despite the custom-labeled recycling bins found in many Starbucks stores, the plastic cups and lids aren’t being recycled at all.  The reason? It’s not economically or technically feasible, and there’s no market for them. The plastic waste ends up in landfill, or worst incinerated. Is It’s piling up, and consumers are being misled.But thanks to relentless advocacy and media investigations, Starbucks has finally begun transitioning away from plastic cups in certain states—a small but crucial first step.In this episode, we’ll dive into Susan’s groundbreaking investigation, why corporate accountability is critical, and what you can do to be part of the solution. If you’ve ever believed in the power of recycling, you need to hear this conversation. Timestamps: 03:20 Introduction to Sustainability and Personal Journey.07:45 Environmental Awakening.15:40 Investigating Corporate Responsibility: The Starbucks Case.20:00 The Reality of Plastic Recycling.24:15 The Economics of Plastic Waste.30:00 Recycling or Exporting Waste?31:40 Microplastics and Their Impact.33:15 Health Risks of Plastics.36:50 Corporate Responsibility: Starbucks' Shift.43:40 “We're All Plastic People Now”.47:45 Beyond Plastics Organization: Susan’s New Role.51:10 Government Accountability.53:45 The Reality of Plastic Waste and Greenwashing.59:00 Taking Action: Community Engagement for Sustainability.01:04:55 Empowering Consumers: Small Steps Towards Change.01:10:20 Innovations in Sustainability: Opportunities Ahead.01:13:30 Susan’s Definition of Happiness.Correction Note (29:20):At around the 29:20 mark, Susan Keefe misspoke when referring to a "material recycling facility." The correct term is "material recovery facility" (MRF). While the two are often confused, a material recovery facility is the accurate term used in the waste management industry. We appreciate Susan’s attention to detail and her dedication to providing clear, accurate information. Books mentioned in the conversation:Drawdown: The Most Comprehensive Plan Ever Proposed to Reverse Global Warming by Paul HawkenToms River: A Story of Science and Salvation by Dan Fagin Documentaries mentionedToxic TownWe're All Plastic People Now Recommended reads:The Fraud of Plastic Recycling | Center for Climate IntegrityThe Fraud of Advanced Recycling | Center for Climate Integrity Where to find Susan Keefe:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/susan-keefe/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ecoforward.socal/Instagram Beyond Plastics: https://www.instagra m.com/beyondplastics/Website Beyond Plastics: https://www.beyondplastics.org/staff/susan-keefeWebsite: https://www.eco-forward.comBlueSky: @stopplasticwaste Where to find Juan and Wave Business Excellence Footprint:Website Wave BEF: https://www.wave-bef.com/Website: Health, Happiness & Planet: https://www.wave-bef.com/health-happiness-planetInstagram: Health, Happiness & Planet: https://www.instagram.com/health_happiness_planet/LinkedIn Juan Steigerwald: https://www.linkedin.com/in/juan-eduardo-steigerwald-01710b1/YouTube WAVE BEF: https://www.youtube.com/@wavebusinessexcellencefoot1034 Feel free to contact Wave team at any time. 

What if I told you that one of the most celebrated French chefs, trained in the art of rich sauces, foie gras, and fine meats, completely abandoned it all? That he turnedhis Michelin-starred restaurant into a 100% vegan dining experience—not because he had to, but because he believed it was the right thing to do? Well, that’s exactly what today’s guest, Alexis Gauthier, did.For years, Alexis thrived in the world of fine dining, mastering the traditions of French cuisine. But deep down, something didn’t sit right. He started questioning the use of animals in food and the ethics behind it. In 2014, he made a personaldecision to go vegan. But he didn’t stop there. In 2021, he shocked the culinary world by removing all animal products from his restaurant’s menu, turning Gauthier Soho in London into a groundbreaking, fully plant-based fine dining experience.This wasn’t just a career change—it was a statement. Alexis believes that French gastronomy doesn’t need meat to be indulgent, creative, or extraordinary. He’s proving that plant-based cuisine isn’t a limitation—it’s an unexplored frontier, full of possibilities.Today, we’ll dive into his journey, the challenges he faced, and why he believes the future of food is completely animal-free. We’ll also talk about the emotional side of his transformation, what it meant for him as a chef, a business owner, and a person who once built his career on dishes he can no longer stand behind.So, whether you’re a food lover, a chef, or just someone curious about where the future of dining is headed, you won’t want to miss this conversation.

What if the brands we trust and the products we buy are actually contributing to the very crisis we are trying to solve?Today we are exploring this question with a guest who’s addressing consumerism, corporate power and the climate crisis directly. Maren Costa is a climate justice and workers’ rights advocate. Currently serving as a U.S. advisor at workforclimate.org where she empowers tech employees to push back against the growing influence of big tech. She is also featured in the Netflix documentary “Buy Now: The Shopping Conspiracy” where she highlights the role of companies in continuing unsustainable practices. The film reveals how big brands manipulate us into buying more, wasting more and continuing unsustainable practices. I encourage all of you to check out that documentary. With over 20 years in tech leadership roles at Amazon, Microsoft and Adobe Maren co-founded Amazon Employees for Climate Justice which helped push Amazon to sign its Climate Pledge and create the Earth Fund. After being fired for her activism, Maren gained national attention and sparked legal action. She also led initiatives at Microsoft and ran for Seattle City Council in 2023 on a platform of climate justice and workers’ rights. Maren believes that our biggest problems, such as like climate change and inequality, are caused by unfair systems and that real change comes from collective actions. In today’s conversation we will explore her journey as an advocate, the insights she gained from the documentary and practical ways we can all contribute to creating a healthier planet and society.

We’re often told to chase the light—focus on positivity, love, and good vibes only.

Burnout is a word we hear from time to time. What does it mean, how do we know if we are going towards that direction—and, more importantly, how do we overcome it? How does someone transform the pain of burnout and PTSD into a mission to help others thrive? Today, I’m joined by someone who has done just that. Meet Maria, a Resilience Coach for High Achievers. Maria’s journey is as remarkable as her expertise. With a background in global project management and advanced studies in Neuroscience, Consciousness, and Transformational Coaching, she definitely brings a unique perspective to her work. Having lived in seven different countries, Maria has developed a culturally aware approach that enables her to connect with clients from diverse backgrounds. Her personal story of overcoming severe burnout and PTSD has fueled her passion for helping others navigate challenges and prevent burnout before it happens. Maria’s credentials include a bachelor’s degree in business administration, certifications in resilience, life, and business coaching, and advanced studies in positive psychology. Her coaching philosophy combines progressive neuroscience with practical strategies, creating transformative experiences for her clients. In our conversation today, we’ll explore what burnout really looks like, why it’s so common among high achievers, and the small yet powerful steps you can take to build resilience and prevent burnout in your own life. Maria also shares her insights into the importance of self-care, mindfulness, and setting boundaries, as well as the role neuroscience plays in creating lasting change. I had the pleasure of meeting Maria through an online event called the 1-2-1 Tribe hosted by Darin Olien, who was in the Netflix show called Down to Earth. This event focused on offering a space for like-minded people to share, learn, and grow, which is exactly what led me to invite her to today’s conversation. I’m thrilled to welcome Maria to the show and explore her journey, insights, and the powerful tools she uses to guide high achievers toward a life of joy, purpose, and resilience. Let’s dive in!

Today, I have the pleasure of introducing you to an incredible duo, Ange and Marty, the founders of The A Life in Australia. These two are truly passionate about movement and have spent over a decade exploring and sharing the wonders of what our bodies are capable of. From their early days traveling the world as freestyle dancers (where they first met!), to taking multiple yoga trainings in the U.S., mastering Pilates rehab techniques, and developing their own strength and mobility practice, Ange and Marty have turned mindful movement into a lifestyle. In 2017, Ange—an osteopath with over 10 years of experience—decided to shift her focus from "fixing people" to empowering them to move well and feel good in their own bodies. This is how The A Life was born, and today it’s a thriving community, both online and in person, where movement is accessible, fun, and most importantly, safe. Their philosophy emphasizes quality over quantity, encouraging a sustainable and injury-free approach to fitness. In Part 1 of our conversation, we cover some fascinating topics. We talk about the critical role of inflammation in the body, and why feeling good and being strong is more important than chasing superficial goals like looking younger. We dive into adrenal fatigue, thyroid burnout, and how certain types of exercise can either help or hinder your hormonal health. Ange and Marty also share their insights on the impact of movement on hormones and the difference between bad movement and high-quality movement. We finish Part 1 with a conversation on movement variability, creating a movement lifestyle, and how distributing movement throughout the day can positively transform your health. This is just the beginning—so be sure to tune in for Part 2, coming out in two weeks, where we’ll continue exploring more strategies for building a sustainable, movement-focused lifestyle. You won’t want to miss it! Now, let’s dive into Part 1 of my conversation with Ange and Marty from The A Life!

In today's episode, I am thrilled to introduce our incredible guest, whom I admire, none other than Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn Jr., a renowned physician, researcher, and a true pioneer in the field of plant-based nutrition. Dr. Esselstyn has spent decades researching and proving that a whole-food, plant-based diet has the potential to prevent and even reverse chronic conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and more.

His research has challenged conventional thinking about heart disease treatment and empowered countless individuals to take control of their health through nutrition.

We’ll also discuss the dangers of processed vegan foods, the importance of educating healthcare professionals about plant-based nutrition, and the role of cholesterol in heart disease.

Is sugar as addictive and harmful as some of the world’s most dangerous drugs? In this episode, we dive deep into the hidden dangers of sugar with Rich Holman, author of "Killing You Softly – How Sugar Is Killing Us." Rich's journey is truly remarkable. After a diverse career in real estate, mortgage banking, securities, publishing, and investment banking, and holding degrees in Chemical Engineering Management and an MBA, his life took an unexpected turn. At age 72, Rich was facing multiple health conditions and was on various medications. As he describes it, he was a "dead man walking." Everything changed when a holistic doctor suggested a 21-day sugar detox. Rich embraced the challenge, lost 22 pounds, reversed his health issues, and is now completely off medication. His experience led to years of research into the harmful effects of sugar and processed foods, culminating in his mission to expose the truth about sugar—something he believes is more addictive than cocaine and just as harmful. In this conversation, we explore the history of sugar, the disturbing cover-ups surrounding it, and the devastating effects of the Standard American Diet (SAD). Rich reveals how big food and big pharma influence public health and how government subsidies keep sugar and processed foods at the heart of our diets. We also dive into his experience meeting parents raising sugar-free kids and discuss the importance of ethical marketing and informed consent when making food choices. Rich's passion for educating others is evident, and as a man who’s truly transformed his life, his insights are not to be missed. Join us for this eye-opening episode and discover how you too can break free from sugar’s grip.   Timestamps: 03:45 Introduction and Background. 05:25 The Sugar Detox Experience. 08:1 0 The History of Sugar and its Effects on Health. 09:25 Cover-Ups and Lies Surrounding Sugar. 11:15 The Standard American Diet (SAD) and Food Pyramid. 15:05 Sugar vs Cocaine. 15:50 Health Issues Related to Sugar Consumption. 19:10 The Beginning of Allopathic Medicine. 22:20 Book Chapter “Killing Our Kids” and Shocking Statistics. 25:20 The Impact of Alcohol. 27:40 50 Different Names for Sugar. 28:40 Where Sugar is Hidden and What it Can Lead to. 33:50 The Importance of Eating Real Food, Exercising, and Sleeping. 39:15 Sugar-Free Birthday Parties for Children. 43:35 Follow the Money, The Financial Interests Behind Sugar. 45:40 The Importance of Informed Consent in Food Choices. 48:45 The Role of Women in Promoting Healthy Eating Habits. 57:15 Statins and Cholesterol vs Sugar: A Critical Look. 01:00:20 Happiness Defined by Rich.   Where to find Rich: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/holman.rich/ Website: https://primaverarealtymedellin.com/es/about-primavera-realty-medellin/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rich.holman1/?locale=es_LA LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/richardalanholman/?originalSubdomain=co Email: rich@primaverarealtymedellin.com   Books mentioned in our conversation: "Killing You Softly: How Sugar is Killing Us" by Rich Holman "Good Energy: The Groundbreaking Connection Between Glucose Levels, Metabolism, Limitless Health and Longevity" by Casey Means   Where to find Juan and Wave Business Excellence Footprint: Website: Wave BEF: https://www.wave-bef.com/ Website: Health, Happiness & Planet: https://www.wave-bef.com/health-happiness-planet Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/health_happiness_planet/ LinkedIn Juan Steigerwald: https://www.linkedin.com/in/juan-eduardo-steigerwald-01710b1/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@wavebusinessexcellencefoot1034   Feel free to contact Wave team at any time.   If the links are not clickable on your platform, please access them directly from our website at www.wave bef.com under the 'Podcasts' category.   Check out our courses for PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONAL GROWTH: For Employees: For Employees | Wave (wave-bef.com) For Managers: For Managers | Wave (wave-bef.com)

Have you ever wondered how much of your life is controlled by fear? In today’s episode, Chris Knight joins us for a profound conversation about the extensive influence of fear in our lives. This is the second time I have Chris on the show. He is from Australia, and for the past 15 years, he has dedicated his life to providing education, skills, and tools to overcome unresolved emotions, trauma, and limiting beliefs that shape our life choices and relationships.

Welcome to today's episode featuring two remarkable guests, Josh and Rebecca Tickell, acclaimed documentary filmmakers whose impactful work has been instrumental in environmental activism both domestically and globally. With a portfolio of award-winning short and feature films, they have collaborated with actors, politicians, and environmental leaders to create powerful cinematic experiences that resonate with millions, driving significant contributions to environmental and social causes. Teaming up with his wife Rebecca, they continued to produce impactful films like "The Big Fix" and "PUMP," where they shed light on critical energy-related issues. In 2017, Josh's book "Kiss the Ground" became an Amazon bestseller, accompanied by a documentary narrated by Woody Harrelson, earning praise globally. Their film studio, Big Picture Ranch, serves as a creative place for thought-provoking media content aimed at inspiring positive change. Rebecca's talent for crafting compelling narrative has led to films that transcend politics and culture, catalyzing real-world change through legislation and policy reform. One of the first documentaries my wife and I watched was The Earthing Movie, and it inspired us to change our daily routines. This shift improved our energy and health. Only when we are all truly healthy, then we can tackle even larger goals, like trying our best to leave this planet a better place. What I personally enjoy about their work is that they do not only raise awareness of our global problems, but they address the root causes and at the end they of their movies and documentaries, viewers are empowered with real actionable solutions. In this episode, we delve into their remarkable journey, explore their latest projects, and speak about sustainability, filmmaking, and the power of making a difference in the world.
