  • What an awesome weight training vegan!

    I became familiar with Karina through LinkedIn a year or so ago and have absolutely loved learning about veganism and weight training from her. With such a positive attitude and a desire to help others, I appreciate the information that she chooses to share, along with her cool guests, of course. Highly recommend for everyone who is plant-curious and enjoys weight training!

  • The best podcast on veganism

    I probably listened to more than a hundred episodes since i found this podcast a couple months ago. Karina is not afraid of saying when she disagrees with a guest but keeping cordial and polite. I always learn something new on the episodes even been vegan for more than 30 years. Thank you Karina for keeping it real. “A peaceful world can evolve after animal liberation”.

  • Very good but slips into social commentary’

    I appreciate the fitness and vegan info for athletes . I do not listen to this show to get an earful of social or political commentary from gist or guests. Do you really think everyone who listens agrees with where you fall on that spectrum or are we continuing assumptions and stereotypes? Here is a suggestion: stick to the topic of your podcast and hold your opinions on the state of politics . Thank you
