In this compelling episode, our host, Nicolette, engages in a profound conversation with Maxime Sigouin, the visionary founder of Fit Vegan. Maxime's personal journey is marked by the loss of his grandfather at the age of 63 and his ex-fiancĂ©e at 39, both succumbing to bone and breast cancer, respectively. Having spent over 4.5 years as a caregiver, Maxime witnessed firsthand the toll that losing health takes on a loved one â the diminished ability to relish life fully, and the stark reality of the true cost of compromised well-being.
Motivated by these experiences, Maxime embarked on a mission to empower individuals to safeguard their bodies from preventable and reversible chronic illnesses. He champions the transformative potential of adopting a whole-food, plant-based diet coupled with an active lifestyle. Maxime has set ambitious goals â aiming to assist 10,000 people in achieving leanness, thriving, and disease-proofing their bodies on plants by 2033, and an astounding 1,000,000 by 2050.
In this insightful episode, Nicolette and Maxime reconvene for a second time to explore the intricate connections between mindset, nutrition, and holistic well-being. Together, they unravel inspiring stories, sustainable weight-loss strategies, and offer indispensable psychological tools to conquer self-sabotage while cultivating enduring habits.
Ever wondered why your weight-loss journey should prioritize sustainability? Maxime dismantles this concept, underscoring the significance of preventing weight from creeping back on. But that's not all â Maxime unveils the secret sauce to maintaining weight loss: reverse dieting. He guides you on approaching food with logic, making choices aligned with the wisdom of evolution. It's time to seize control of your health and embrace a life of fulfillment with Fit Vegan. Join us on this transformative journey towards lasting well-being, and learn how to savor every moment to the fullest.

MixalhiÌtsa7 Alison Pascal is a passionate Indigenous community leader, educator, and advocate based in British Columbia, Canada. She is a member of the SkÌČwxwĂș7mesh Ăxwumixw and the LĂlÌwat7ul Nations, and her career is focused on advancing the rights and interests of Indigenous peoples in her community and beyond. Alison is particularly interested in language revitalization, land stewardship, and cultural preservation and has worked extensively in these areas throughout her career.
MixalhiÌtsa7's leadership and advocacy work have earned her several awards, including the Order of British Columbia and the Indspire Award, which recognizes outstanding Indigenous achievement in Canada. She has also served on several boards and committees related to Indigenous issues, including the First Peoples' Cultural Council and the StĂł:lĆ Research and Resource Management Centre. Through her tireless work and dedication to Indigenous rights and cultural preservation, MixalhiÌtsa7 has become a respected and influential voice in her community and beyond.
The podcast with Alison Pascal was a heart-wrenching conversation about the historical and current struggles of Indigenous communities in Canada. Pascal spoke about how the Canadian government's intervention in the lives of Indigenous people has caused them to suffer from alcohol consumption, drug use, and poor food management. It was not an accident, but a deliberate choice that resulted in intergenerational trauma affecting their physical and mental health. Pascal shared a story about how immigrant families were starving and freezing, but Indigenous nature helped them survive by teaching them how to farm. However, the Indigenous people were forced to side with the British to fight the French and Spanish, resulting in the loss of their land, which is now a commodity that can be sold. Today, Indigenous people are conditioned to stay inside and are denied access to gathering and foraging, leading to a loss of culture and spiritual connection to the land.
The residential school system, which separated Indigenous children from their parents and land, led to a truth and reconciliation diet where children worked on school farms but were not allowed to eat the food, resulting in malnutrition and chronic diseases. Pascal questioned if it is possible to reprogram our bodies to not have chronic diseases and suggested the use of ancient medicines to maintain good health. The podcast also highlighted the issue of mental health stigma in Indigenous communities, which is exacerbated by the social aspects that white people see in Indigenous people, such as domestic violence, drug abuse, alcoholism, and gambling. Pascal spoke about the importance of a sustainable program to get kids onto the land to foster their interest in culture and the need for parents to be involved. Indigenous people are part of the land, and the land is part of them, but the spiritual loss has led to an autonomic economy that is split into unfarmable land, affecting their drinking water.
Overall, the podcast highlighted the interconnectedness of intellectual, physical, mental, and emotional health, and how the wellbeing of Indigenous communities in Canada is essential for all living beings and the land. Pascal's emotional testimony left a lasting impact on listeners, calling for immediate action to address the long-standing issues affecting Indigenous people in Canada.

Dr. Marie Mihalicz is a respected researcher, consultant, and founder of White Lightning Consulting, an organization committed to community-based healing and wellness retreats. She completed her Ph.D. at Royal Roads University, where her dissertation focused on Indigenous methods of healing and their potential for addressing the high rates of suicide and mental health issues in northern Saskatchewan communities. Her research findings have been used to influence policy change, with the aim of supporting sustainable, culturally relevant mental health services for Indigenous youth and families.
Dr. Mihalicz and her team at White Lightning Consulting offer evidence-based healing and education programs that combine Western science and Indigenous healing methods. Through their collaborative community-based approach, they aim to empower Indigenous youth and families to pick up their knowledge bundles in today's world, strengthening and mobilizing community processes from the inside-out. In the face of the challenges posed by the pandemic and the complex intergenerational trauma experienced by Indigenous communities, Dr. Mihalicz and her team continue to work towards enhancing sustainable counseling supports and delivering effective leadership training workshops.
In this 8th podcast of a nine part series, Marie Mihalicz discusses the importance of decolonizing trauma and healing the soul. She highlights how traditional ways of knowing are not recognized, and there are gaps in the mental health system that need to be addressed. Mihalicz emphasizes that trauma is passed down through blood, but so is healing, and it is essential to understand the historical links to trauma. She suggests that healing is in our DNA and that the delivery of mental health needs to change to include outdoor therapy, such as art therapy, breathwork, and hands-on ceremonies.
Mihalicz believes that the biggest barriers to healing are the spiritual loss and the fact that traditional healing methods are not recognized by the current system. She emphasizes the need for protocols and boundaries around ceremonies, as well as space to sit down and talk about how we are doing. Mihalicz advocates for the use of traditional Indigenous practices in mental health treatment, such as prescribing ceremonies and mentorship through ceremony. She encourages people to learn about their history, stories, and intergenerational trauma, to talk about it and create safe spaces to heal. Finally, Mihalicz emphasizes that healing starts with the self, and one needs to heal oneself first before helping others.

Dr. Milton Mills, MD is a practicing urgent care physician in the Washington DC area, with a focus on the use of nutritional measures to reduce the risk of major chronic diseases. He is an Associate Director of Preventive Medicine and a member of the National Advisory Board for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), where he has been a major contributor to position papers presented to the United States Department of Agriculture regarding Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
Dr. Mills has published several research journal articles dealing with racial bias in federal nutrition policy and has been the lead plaintiff in PCRMâs class action lawsuit that asks for warning labels on milk. He is also a frequent volunteer at free medical clinics and travels widely, speaking at hospitals, churches and community centers throughout the country.
Dr. Mills was featured in the documentary âWhat the Healthâ and will also appear in the upcoming film âThe Silent Veganâ. He is a strong advocate for plant-based eating and addressing cultural disruption in the food system, particularly in communities of color. Through his work, Dr. Mills aims to empower individuals to make informed decisions about their health and to promote the use of sustainable, plant-based diets for both personal and planetary health.
Dr. Mills discusses the impact of cultural disruption on plant-based eating and health in the BIPOC community in Nicoletteâs seventh PhD Podcast. Dr. Mills explains that BIPOC communities have become dumping grounds for agricultural excess, leading to food scarcity and a lack of access to nutritious food. He advocates for the use of core crops, such as the Three Sisters (corn, beans, and squash), which provide good calories and adequate nutrition while also being sustainable and renewable.
Dr. Mills highlights the historical impact of Western culture on the diets of POC, including the use of commodity crops, and how it has resulted in systemic and structural racism. He argues that Western medicine operates from a disease model and must change the way it practices medicine, as band-aids will not cure diseases. Dr. Mills emphasizes the importance of decolonizing our diet, mindset, and way of relating to the world to protect the planet and ourselves. He advocates for narrative medicine to address trauma and abuse and for doctors to unlearn bad habits and become part of the solution.

Suzanne Methot is a highly accomplished author with an impressive track record in creating and applying equity and anti-oppression frameworks. Her non-fiction book, Legacy: Trauma, Story, and Indigenous Healing, has won several awards, and she has also co-authored the Grade 11 textbook Aboriginal Beliefs, Values, and Aspirations, and contributed to Scholasticâs Take Action series of elementary classroom resource books. Suzanne's upcoming YA book, Killing the Wittigo: Indigenous Culture-Based Approaches to Waking Up, Taking Action, and Doing the Work of Healing, is set to be published in June 2023.
In her interview on Nicoletteâs Fourth PhD podcast episode, Suzanne offers insights that go beyond the conventional risk factors cited by the government and scientists for disproportionate rates of diabetes and chronic disease in BIPOC communities. She provides a nuanced perspective on the impact of colonization, control, complex PTSD, voicelessness, intergenerational trauma, brain fog, monoculture, the credentials barrier, and multinational corporations' control over food security and inputs for growing. Suzanne debunks commonly held beliefs about poverty and the "thrifty gene" and explores the opportunities for creating a better future through re-learning, knowledge-sharing, consulting with those who hold cultural and ceremonial knowledge, and taking care of marginalized people. She emphasizes the importance of sharing stories and seeing to address the challenges faced by Indigenous communities.
Suzanne's extensive experience in advocacy and direct-service positions at Indigenous-led organizations, including the Native Womenâs Resource Centre of Toronto, the Anishinabek Nation (Health and Environment Program), the YWCA Elm Centre, and West Neighbourhood House, underscores her commitment to serving community members healing from intergenerational trauma and reclaiming culture while facing racism, poverty, homelessness, health issues, addictions, mental-health challenges, crime, and victimization.

Dr. Breeze Harper, also known as Sistah Vegan, is a highly experienced diversity, equity, and inclusion expert with a PhD in the social sciences. Her work focuses on the intersections of food and racial and nutritional health justice, drawing on her background in cultural food geography and black feminist perspectives. In her interview with Nicolette on the third PhD Podcast, Dr. Harper shares her personal story of growing up with a master gardener father who taught her the importance of growing their own food, despite the loss of land around African Americans.
Nicolette and Dr. Harper discuss the impact of monocultures and colonization on both people and soil in the United States, leading to a colonized microbiome and chronic disease. They delve into topics such as white supremacy, enslavement, industrialization, and the medical system's treatment of black people. Dr. Harper shares her journey of curing her fibroid tumors with a whole food plant-based diet and expresses her disappointment in the lack of BIPOC voices in the vegan community, as well as the contribution of capitalism in veganism to people's health and the fast-paced society we live in.
Both Nicolette and Dr. Harper agree on the need for pure vulnerability from these voices and moving away from the individualism and monogamist nuclear family lives we live in. Dr. Harper's rich background and expertise in diversity, equity, and inclusion, coupled with her unique perspective on food justice, make this episode of the PhD Podcast a must-listen.

Dr. Psyche Williams-Forson is a distinguished Professor and Chair of the Department of American Studies at the University of Maryland College Park. With a passion for material culture, Dr. Williams-Forson focuses her research on African Americans' lives in the United States from the late 19th century to the present. She is a multidisciplinary academic, serving as an affiliate faculty member of the Theatre, Dance, and Performing Studies, the Departments of Anthropology, African American Studies, The Harriet Tubman Department of Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, and the Consortium on Race, Gender, and Ethnicity. Her extensive research in this area employs cultural studies, intersectionality, and popular culture to inform our understanding of historical legacies of race and gender representation.
In Nicolette's second PhD interview, Dr. Psyche discusses her doctoral research on the association between Black people and chicken, which turned into just one chapter of her broader research. Their conversation explores the foodways of Black people, Southern food, and the legacy of slavery, which resulted in African slaves' agricultural knowledge. The discussion also touches on the complexity of factors contributing to Black people's health, including trauma and violence, and how food choices are not solely responsible. They highlight the importance of understanding that choosing what to eat is a middle/upper-class conversation, and food shaming should be avoided. Instead, we need to consider factors such as taste, access, availability, affordability, and knowledge of how to prepare food. Dr. Psyche emphasizes that eating is a necessity, and we need to help people where they are.

Dr. Adrianne Lickers Xavier is a remarkable academic who is currently serving as the acting Director of the Indigenous Studies Program at McMaster University, where she has made valuable contributions to the fields of Indigenous Studies and Anthropology. She earned her undergraduate degree in Anthropology from McMaster University and went on to complete her MA and doctorate at the esteemed Royal Roads University, where her research focused on Indigenous food systems. Dr. Xavier is a passionate and dedicated teacher who has designed and delivered courses in the areas of Contemporary Indigenous Issues, Indigenous Food Security and Food Systems, Indigenous Food Sovereignty, Indigenous Ways of Knowing and Methodologies.
Dr. Xavier is a true scholar whose research interests include the study of Indigenous food security and sovereignty, Indigenous land connections and re-matriation, Indigenous food ways, and Indigenous ways of knowing. Her exceptional work in this area was recently recognized when she was awarded the new McMaster Indigenous Research Institute âIndigenous In-Community Scholar Fellowshipâ in 2020. This project aims to expand the understanding and capacity around food security and sovereignty in Dr. Xavierâs community of Six Nations of the Grand River Territory. Her achievements were further recognized when she was awarded the prestigious Petro Canada McMaster Young Innovator Award for 2021-22, which allows undergraduates to engage in Indigenous research and focuses on building community.
Dr. Xavier's appearance on Nicoletteâs first PhD podcast was a tour-de-force. She shared her insights on a range of issues, including the root causes of disease, food sovereignty versus food security, and the impact of colonization on access to nutritious foods that are part of one's heritage. She also touched on the ways in which racism acts as a barrier to food and disease, and how trauma can cause disease. Dr. Xavier underscored the importance of listening to our bodies and the foods it craves. She passionately believes that educating the next seven generations of people about food and history is vital, and that even social media can play a role in influencing the kinds of foods people are exposed to. Dr. Xavierâs upbringing was centered around whole foods, as her mom grew everything or traded for other foods and she reflects on how this all changed when they moved to Canada.

As a well renowned fitness expert, John Lewis has spent over 2 decades in the health and fitness industry and played Division I College basketball. John is highly passionate about not only his own health and fitness, but that of others as well. Today, John has taken his passion for health and is now directing his first feature length documentary focused on food and social justice. John has teamed up with the maker of the award winning âWhat The Healthâ to create their joint venture âTheyâre Trying To Kill USâ. The film follows co-director John Lewis from his beginnings as an adopted child from a crack-addicted birth mother, growing up as an overweight kid in the violence of Ferguson, Missouri, to becoming a prominent health and wellness advocate promoting compassion.
Audiences journey with John as he crosses the country seeking answers to why Americans of Colour suffer from disproportionately higher rates of chronic disease than their European American counterparts, while examining the intersections of food, disease, race, poverty, institutional racism and government corruption. Through interviews with cultural influencers, doctors, researchers, politicians, attorneys, professional athletes, activists and experts in the field of food justice, John begins to unravel a story of collusion that has kept millions of US Americans sick, while the industries responsible make billions of dollars.
Today, Nicolette engages in a conversation with John Lewis, delving into his remarkable journey from playing basketball to finding a new path towards wellness and purpose. The journey commenced in 2004 when the passing of a close friend compelled him to seek solutions for his own health issues, including IBS. By adopting a plant-based diet, he experienced a remarkable transformation within a mere two weeks, shedding inflammation and gaining newfound energy. However, the pivotal moment arrived when his mother was diagnosed with colon cancer, sparking his research into the link between lifestyle choices and diseases such as hypertension and heart disease.
Through personal experiences and learning from the mistakes of others, he uncovered the ancient roots of veganism in Jainism, realizing that indigenous cultures had long embraced plant-based lifestyles. Along his path, he encountered pre-packaged vegan foods, which prompted him to transition towards whole foods, expanding his palate and understanding of diverse culinary traditions. Embracing his role as a catalyst for change, he founded the Badass Vegan movement, advocating for the planet, social justice, and personal well-being.
With a focus on providing answers and promoting inclusivity, John tackles various topics, ranging from the disproportionate impact of food-related issues on Black communities to the manipulative tactics employed by insurance and fast-food companies. Through his film, "They're Trying to Kill Us," and his book, "Badass Vegan," his aim is to empower individuals to fuel their bodies, challenge the system, and live authentically. Join us on this transformative journey as we explore the history of veganism and discover how embracing a plant-based lifestyle can foster healing for ourselves and the world we inhabit. Remember, your "why" will serve as your guiding force on this path of transformation. Get ready to effect positive change and unleash your inner badass.

Zoey Stimpson works with people to liberate their wellbeing and reclaim their deepest Self as; a Wellness Mentor, Trauma-Informed Transformational Facilitator, Somatic Healer, Embodiment Guide, Birth Doula, Yoga & Meditation Teacher and Certified Coach. Zoey is committed to sharing all of what sheâs learned through the beauty and mess of her own life with trauma-informed somatic integrity, she makes the most out of her wildly precious life, embracing all of who she is, loves courageously and stand up for what she believes.
Zoey has Cystic Fibrosis also known as CF, which is a spectrum, genetic disease that affects the cells that produce mucus, sweat and digestive fluids, causing the body to produce excess mucus. The immune system is primarily working to get rid of the mucus so people with CF are extremely susceptible to infections. Zoey has had CF her whole life but was only diagnosed at age 37, after years of sinus infections, pneumonia, anti-biotics, hospitalizations, tests and ultimately being misdiagnosed by doctors and specialists. There is no known cure for CF and being a mom of 2 young kids, Zoey had had enough of being sick, and reached out to Nicolette for support.
On todayâs podcast Nicolette, Zoey and her husband, Mike, discuss their journey on the Gerson Therapy. Topics include salts that heal and salts that harm, CF and Estrogen, coffee enemas, and the importance of advocating for yourself. Zoey describes whatâs itâs like to live with Cystic Fibrosis and the shock of learning how antibiotics were becoming less effective with each use. They also share their experience at the Baja Therapy clinic, where she was the sickest person and possible the first patient visiting with CF. Zoey says she is blessed to be knee deep in the Gerson therapy and describes her wholesome daily routine which 100% revolves around her health and healing.

Ryan "Ghenigho" Rich is the founder of Root Healing. He is a traditional Missoko Bwiti Iboga provider who was trained and empowered to lead retreats and also offer preinitiations to men and women. His work with Iboga includes Traditional Bwiti Iboga Ceremonies, Iboga Assisted Detox, Pre-initiations, Iboga Preparation, and Iboga Integration Counseling. Ryan is a lead providers at most of the Root Healing ceremonies and our Detox program. Ryan also studies/practices Tantra, Engaged Buddhism, and of course Bwiti. In addition to his Bwiti/Iboga work, Ryan is a meditation teacher, counselor, and mentor. Ryan loves to help people liberate themselves from their conditioning, and their fear, and actualize a more full, engaged, life.
On todayâs podcast Nicolette and Ryan discuss Ryanâs Iboga retreats in Portugal and the process of integration and ceremony that they perform. He talks us through the effects that iboga has on people and that the key to healing is the truth. They also discuss plant medicine and the profound effects they can have on your body and mind and talk about the true path of colonization. The Iboga plant can help people with addictions, ancestral trauma, autoimmune and chronic disease by breaking the old patterns by balancing hormones and the brain. Ryan teaches us the difference between Iboga and Ibogaine, and how he has learnt the practice of Bwiti in Gabon, which is so different from the Western world that takes everything and tries to change nature. Ryan expands on the research that needs to be done and how they are seeing Ibogaâs effects on MS, Parkinsonâs, herpes, and HIV.

Dr. Robynne Chutkan is a board-certified gastroenterologist and the author of the digestive health books: Gutbliss, The Microbiome Solution, & The Bloat Cure. Her most recent book: The Anti-Viral Gut: Tackling Pathogens From the Inside Out, focuses on the importance of gut-based defenses for improving resiliency to viruses. Dr. Chutkan went to Yale, completed medical school and residency at Columbia, and a fellowship in gastroenterology at Mount Sinai Hospital in NY. She's on the faculty at Georgetown Hospital and the founder of the Digestive Center for Wellness.
A former Board member of the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE), Dr. Chutkan has authored several scientific articles and book chapters, and been a featured expert on The Today Show, CBS This Morning, The Doctors, and other media outlets. She is an avid runner and yogi, and is passionate about introducing more dirt, sweat, and vegetables into people's lives.
On todayâs podcast Robynne shares her journey into eating whole foods and how her approach to medicine helps her patients reverse their conditions and get off medications and avoid surgery. Dr. Chutkanâs story of how she helped her own daughter, who had been sick and suffering from the aftereffects of multiple courses of antibiotics throughout early childhood, is all too inspiring and a necessary listen for all parents who desire health for their families. Robynne brilliantly explains how the gut and microbiome work together to create optimal health and dives into other exciting topics such as the pros and cons of medical studies, changing the way doctors think, being a healthy host, vegan processed food, long distance running and most importantly, how to live long and dye short.
