I'll admit, I'm all over the place on this one. I just had some thoughts and wanted to get them out—plant-based boom with "fake" meat and the benefits of eating whole food plant-based.

I don’t know how you guys do it. You guys are amazing. Can Lauren eat bread, sugar, and carbs? Did she eat too much sugar when she was young? Lisa and I get lots of questions about Lauren’s T1D. We wanted to share our story about what it means to us and, more importantly, Lauren. This is a little overview of our amazing girl.

After my 50k in June, I started planning a little adventure for myself which turned out to be an Ironman 70.3. I did this self-supported adventure with some friends, which was a great experience.

Accepting that we get old, out of shape, sluggish, not learning new things, or start breaking down as expected isn't ok. We can remain healthy and robust much later than you think, and it's never too late to stay fit or change course and get better. Everyone needs to engage with their health and longevity in a way that works for them. That may be walking every day no matter what…and your actions may make you want to do more.

June 2022 was my second attempt at running the Gunstock Trailfest 50k race. I had more success this time with a much better plan—a little race recap, mainly to get my thoughts down on what worked and didn't.

The Derek Eats Plants podcast covers my journey of transitioning to plant-based eating and discontinuing my eleven-year dependency on cholesterol-lowering and blood pressure medicine. Starting my journey on September 1st, 2017, led me to meditation and ultra running and a much better understanding of nutrition and what we are all capable of in our lives.

Would I be plant-based if I didn’t need to be? I’m often asked if I could eat animal products, would I? I’ll do my best to come at the topic from both perspectives.
