Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
What is it really gonna take to heal ourselves, our communities,
and our planet. I'm Alicia Silverstone and this is my
new podcast, The Real Heal. I'll be sitting down with experts,
friends and icons to share their thoughts on what it
means to heal and to explore just how interconnected our planet,

(00:25):
our communities, and our bodies really are. I talked to
Ingrid Newkirk, the president and founder of Peter, and author
and philosopher Peter Singer about our relationship to the species
that share our planet. I think it's really important to
know that we are part of this change, and that

(00:46):
involves bringing your values together with your actions, with your life,
and I think that they can help heal themselves by
thinking about how it fits into the whole. I also
sit down with my new friend and community leader, Pinky Cole,
who founded Slutty Vegan in Atlanta. But it's not just

(01:06):
about the food. It's about how we resonated in the
city and how we've become a staple in the community
that when you come from another city, country, town, state,
this is one of those places that you have to
come before you leave because of what we stand for.
I sit down with doctors who specialize in gut health
and registered dietitians like Taylor Wilfrom to talk about healing

(01:29):
our bodies. And I think that's something important to to recognize,
is you don't have to love your body right to
respect it to take care of it, because that can
feel really intimidating for people. And I talked to some
extraordinary people like director, producer and podcaster Kevin Smith, who
share their own stories of healing through some very trying experiences.

(01:53):
As I'm having an art attack, he goes, you are
having a massive art attack right now. They didn't tell you.
So the very next day I started plant based Journey.
I chose to do it because it was the option
to save my life at that time, and I've never
looked back. I'll be learning with you during every episode,
while also sharing some of my own epiphanies, discoveries and

(02:13):
explorations about health, love and what it means to feel
whole things. I've dedicated the better part of my life too.
It's time to talk about healing. Join me for the
Real Heal produced for I Heart Radio by Frequency Media.
