Thrive State Podcast

EPISODE 22: A Game Changing Approach to Peak Performance

Episode 22: Robert Cheeke

We’ve heard a lot about the plant-based diet and how it has done wonders for people. Whether you’re trying to lose weight, manage or reverse a chronic disease, or just deciding to pivot towards a more conscious choice and sustainable way of living, for sure, you may have considered it, or at least, come across it. I have tried it myself!

But many of us may have missed the point there (including myself). That it’s not just about the animal product content on your plate. Not just about altering the source of your protein with some powder or bar or shake.

In this episode, take it from the expert and a plant-based athlete himself, and you’ll see—this one is literally a game-changer in the field of peak performance!

It’s 97% identical and aligned in terms of principles to the Thrive State Bioenergtic nutrition philosophy, and I just can’t let you miss this really amazing resource of knowledge, experience and inspiration!

Robert Cheeke, vegan bodybuilder and author of The Plant-Based Athlete did the interviews himself with some of the top performing vegan athletes in the world. And in this latest podcast, he reveals the secret ingredient—no, definitely not just the greens—so watch out!

Show notes

From animal science and farming background to plant-based lifestyle: Stirred by animal rights consciousness. Stemmed from compassion for these animals.
Learning curve: It’s about conscious decisions. Not only about removing the animal products in your food. Have cruelty-free pizza or lasagna but only once in a while.
Supplementation: natural Vitamin B12 – so important for our brains yet so hard to find because American food and produce has become so sterile.
The Plant-Based Athlete: Lessons and inspirations from the best of the best of athletes in their sports that have excelled and are living a plant-based diet.
Rich Roll’s Story: reaching his athletic peak in his forties. His story inspires you to just show up.
You can’t be this superfit individual on the exterior and have internal dilemmas and problems that affect your emotions and motivation. You have to have that balanced state.
Answer the question WHY; that’s when you start showing up.
I want to change my life today. Why would I delay taking action on something that could change my life for the better til tomorrow when I can make that happen today.
Taking the first step: Connect the dots ahead of time. Pause and think where you want to be, in a real, meaningful conversation with yourself, five, ten years from now. Think about the actions that you need to do to get there.
Visualize it in your future to make it happen.
Overcoming performance anxiety: Incorporating humor into presentations. Comedy is something I’m really drawn to but it also makes the whole experience fun.
The Plant-Based Athlete is a good investment, $25 for 25 years of experience.
My Best Medicine: Pursuit of happiness. I don’t know exactly where I’m gonna be 10 or 20 years, but it’s going to be a constant pursuit of happiness.
