63: How plant based eating can make you happier with The Happy Pear

Can a plant based diet really make you feel happier and healthier? David & Stephen Flynn - better known as The Happy Pear twins - definitely think so. The Happy Pear started out back in 2004 with a tiny shop and a dream of helping people to eat more veg. Fast forward to 2021 and The Happy Pear now consists of cafes, food products, online courses, cookbooks, a podcast and a community of over 1 million people living healthier! In this episode, I talk to David and Stephen about their new book, The Happy Health Plan, which is packed full of mouthwatering plant-based recipes and lifestyle tips to help you feel healthier and happier. They explain why calories from whole foods will fill you up and nourish your body in a way that refined and processed foods never will and why eating a more plant based diet will have a catalytic effect on so many aspects of your life. What I loved more than anything was their positive attitude towards food and how it’s not about being perfect, it’s about doing your best. An attitude we should adopt with everything in life. I promise your shopping basket will be packed full of fruit and veg once you’ve listened to this episode!Follow The Happy Pear on Instagram here: @thehappypearBuy The Happy Health Plan hereWatch The Happy Pear video on Natural Viagra mentioned in the episode hereYou can now pre-order my book, Happy Not Perfect: Upgrade Your Mind, Challenge Your Thoughts and Free Yourself From Anxiety by clicking here.
