14. A Planetary Diet with Jayden Ordner

We all have in common that we are human and call this planet our home.

However, the planet as we know it won’t remain as it is forever, unless we, as 8 billion human beings, work collectively to look after it. One of the ways we can do this is through our food choices, as that affects food systems, a significant contributor to the state of the planet.

In this episode, I bring Jayden Ordner back for a second episode to talk about how we can make dietary choices that will not only improve our own health and longevity, but also for our planet.

Jayden shares a lot of eye-opening information about how food systems affect deforestation, loss of biodiversity, water usage and greenhouse gas emissions, and provides us with tangible strategies that we can put in place if we want to preserve mother earth for all other beings and future generations.

About Trang

Trang is an international and TEDx speaker, and a leading life and business mentor for those who know they're made for more. In particular, those who are hungry to build their dream business of impact to replace their profession, so they can live with freedom and fulfillment.

Born to Vietnamese immigrant parents, Trang spent the first part of her life succumbing to traditional Asian expectations, where she started her career as a Physiotherapist. However, her rebellious and visionary personality eventually led her to question how she could help people not just as athletes but as humans.

Trang started her coaching business but initially had no idea what she was doing, so she quickly overworked herself to the point of burn-out. Not just once, but twice, she fell asleep at the wheel and caused two accidents.

That is why Trang now runs the free and fulfilled business movement, so people can achieve business success while thriving not just as business owners, but as human beings. 

Ultimately, she believes that when enough people thrive, humanity will thrive, and when humanity thrives, the world will thrive for all of us and future generations.
