Thank you Colleen for this episode❤️
With both pets gone in six months aged 20 and 14 , lots of this resonated with me . It was as hard to listen to as for you to record I’m sure . X
Interesting & enjoyable but disappointed about luxury yachts & flying all over the world .Not very environmentally friendly ?
Colleen has been a go-to podcast host for a variety of topics, someone I can trust to maintain extraordinary integrity over the years, and a guide for being vegan, keeping my heart and mind open, and my body nourished.
Thanks for taking super important scientific research and explaining it in easy-to-understand ways for the average person, like me. I greatly appreciate it!
Hands down my favorite podcast!! Colleen brings light to so many important topics, but what sets her apart is her genuine approach. When I was first waking up, her words gave me the support I needed to pioneer into this new joyful way of living! Blending humor, common sense, and ingenuity you feel like you’re with an old friend when listening to Food For Thought. Thank you Colleen for all you do!!

The show centers on vegan living, plant-based nutrition, and compassionate lifestyle with a strong emphasis on science, practical tips, and real-world application. Episodes regularly explore health topics (bone health, menopause, protein, DEXA scans), sustainable cooking and regional vegan cuisine, mindfulness, and advocacy, all delivered with empathy and rigor. A notable edge is the host's long-running, values-driven approach that blends research with personal storytelling, travel, and community-building through trips and paid memberships. This mix makes it appealing to health-conscious, environmentally minded listeners who want doable, ethical ways to live well and advocate for animals and the planet.
