About this episode
In Episode #42, I caught up with pro surfer and vegan mother Alana Blanchard in Kauai, Hawaii. From when she was just 8 years old, Alana had a dream to become a pro surfer, and she dedicated her life to turning it into reality. We covered a lot in this episode: her relationship with Bethany Hamilton; the shark attack incident, how it affected her, and her journey to getting back in the water; the movie Soul Surfer that covered Bethany and Alana’s story; why she follows a plant-based diet; her pregnancy experience as a vegan, including what she ate, what food aversions she had, and what she supplemented with; how her baby son Banks is doing and her experience breastfeeding; what Alana and her partner Jack plan to feed Banks when he starts eating solids; and so much more. Connect with Alana on Instagram. Enjoy, friends. Simon Want to support the show? The best way to support the show is to use the products and services offered by our sponsors.
