If you’re hungry to learn about the latest breakthroughs in nutrition and fitness...whether you want to achieve your best body and health, or get the competitive edge as an athlete, then you are sure to get all that and more from this episode.
Because I got to sit down with 2 of the most inspiring competitive athletes and health advocates in the world - Luke and Emilie Tan!
Luke is a published author, speaker, and competitive bodybuilding and CrossFit athlete from Singapore who has been featured in numerous media outlets including Men’s Health magazine.
Emilie is a certified raw food chef, ACE-certified trainer, and an ultra-endurance athlete from Canada who recently conquered a 100K trail race in Australia.
Together, they appear in summits and media outlets, as well as host the Awake Asia podcast.
During this interview, we uncover:
- Why Emilie began eating horse meat to remain competitive back in her speed skating days, and immediately recognized an overall improvement in how she felt once kicking all animal products to the curb.
- How Luke once consumed over 2 lbs of meat per day on a typical high protein low carb fitness trainer diet, and how today he’s on a purpose-driven mission to change the way the fitness industry looks at food.
- How they became affected on a spiritual level when they stopped eating animals and animal products.
- And, because they are proud parents of their 2-year-old little girl, Sienna, we talk about Emilie’s pregnancy, birth, and raising of their daughter as a vegan in a non-vegan world - I think you’ll be interested to hear how her obstetrician responded to Emilie about getting certain nutrients for her pregnancy when she refused to consume dairy.
Luke also tells us about the upcoming, most anticipated online health and fitness event of the year which he is the co-host for, and it includes interviews in real-time with renowned doctors, Olympic athletes, and internationally recognized inspirations called the Plant Fit Summit.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
