When 36-year-old Chris Paul went vegan two years a When 36-year-old Chris Paul went vegan two years ago, he kept it a secret from his teammates, not wanting to let them know his “secret advantage.” It’s no secret that this NBA superstar who has led his Phoenix Suns to a 3-0 lead in the second round playoff series is having an MVP-caliber year. Paul changed his diet to be faster on the court, and has spoken about recovering faster, feeling less soreness, and experiencing less inflammation in his body since going vegan. And he dove into the lifestyle off the court as well. Paul is one of the executive producers of the documentary film “Game Changers,” serves as a spokesman for Beyond Meat, and promotes plant-based snacks, food and drinks - especially Black- and Brown-owned brands - through a partnership with the goPuff digital delivery service. I’d say that definitely makes him a #vibrantNRGizer. #veganhockeyplayer #vibrantNRG #chrispaul #phoenixsuns #nba #basketball #superstar #playoffs #foodfriday #gamechangersmovie #vegan #veganathlete #vegandiet #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #plantbasedfood #veganfood #veganathlete #plantbasedathlete #dairyfree #athlete #beyondmeat #gopuff #blackownedbusiness #blackowned #veganlife #veganlifestyle

Haven’t been this busy in over a year, which mea Haven’t been this busy in over a year, which means more meditation time is a must. To work and perform at a high level, meditation helps keep my mind calm so I can think clearly and make smart decisions. Meditating before writing helps me focus and enhances the creative process. While some people say “I’m too busy to meditate,” I say “I’m too busy not to meditate.” - Rick #veganhockeyplayer #vibrantNRG #meditation #meditate #calm #peace #create #creative #peaceful #health #wellness #yogi #yoga #mindfulness #still #stillness #busy #think #clear #clarity #focus #smart #writing #writer #decisions #wellbeing #selfcare #selflove #failureisnotanoption #blackandwhitephotography
It’s National Cancer Survivors Day and the odds It’s National Cancer Survivors Day and the odds are that you have someone close to you who has survived cancer. Perhaps it’s a family member. Both of my parents have survived cancer, and in my mother’s case, twice. We all have cancer genes that lay dormant until exposed to “activators,” which turn on the cancer cells. Activators can be chemical such as exposure to toxic substances, air or water, or nutritional. If you eat animals and/or dairy products, you greatly increase the risk of activating cancer cells within your body, while eating plants does the opposite. If you do get cancer, eating plants instead of eating animals and/or dairy can aid the body’s defense against cancer. Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the US and many of the cancers Americans get come from the Standard American Diet (SAD). Some refer to these cancers as “disease of affluence” because societies that can’t afford to eat animals and dairy and are forced to primarily eat plants have dramatically less cancers than us. The research that T. Colin Campbell presents in “The China Study” shows that high protein diets (15-20% of calories as in the SAD) spurs cancer growth while diets that include calories from protein consisting only of 5% have the lowest cancer rates. A cancer diagnosis used to always be viewed as a death sentence, but medical science and knowledge about the role nutrition plays have come a long way in creating survivorship. It’s amazing how much what a person eats can impact getting cancer and/or becoming a cancer survivor. - Rick #veganhockeyplayer #vibrantNRG #nationalcancersurvivorsday #cancer #cancersucks #fcancer #survivor #cancersurvivor #eatplants #ditchdairy #plantbaseddiet #plantbased #vegan #vegandiet #wfpb #wholefoodsplantbaseddiet #nutrition #health #healthy #diet #dairy #food #tcolincampbell #thechinastudy #family #standardamericandiet
Finals week for @uclahockey and it’s final call Finals week for @uclahockey and it’s final call to help support the team. The Bruins’ season was canceled because of COVID, but they look to hit the ice this Fall looking better than ever. To do that, there is a SparkIt campaign to help purchase road white uniforms and matching helmets and gloves. The hockey program receives minimal support from the university leaving the players to raise most of their $100k annual budget. Your financial gift will help and is appreciated.

My days begin on the ice & end in the gym. In betw My days begin on the ice & end in the gym. In between, I’m leading two companies. Staying hydrated & recovering from one workout to be at my best for the second workout is vital. Even more important is keeping my immune system strong so that I can do all this work while staying healthy & with the high energy that I’m known for. Three years ago, an ESPN story introduced me to what I’ve found to be the best sports drink available. Although I was initially drawn to trying BioSteel after reading that half the NHL drinks it, it was learning its many benefits that earned my enthusiastic recommendations ever since. Many of the sports drinks you see advertised on TV & billboards are loaded with sugar. BioSteel has none. Zero caffeine, too. Several years ago, a fitness pro taught me to consume amino acids during my workouts, which I usually took post-workout. By consuming amino acids while training, you increase muscle endurance, reduce the muscle damage incurred during the workout, and begin the muscle repair so you recover faster for your next workout. BioSteel contains an amino acid blend to meet those needs. BioSteel contains essential electrolytes, a vitamin B blend to help keep energy levels up, and added vitamins & minerals to maintain the immune system. While the question I get asked most as a vegan athlete is where I get my protein from, the second most frequent question is what do I drink while training. BioSteel. I’m not being paid to write or post this, and you won’t see me posted all over their website like Mahomes, McDavid, Luka, Zeke & some of the other superstars who believe in @biosteelsports like I do, but I’m proud to have been made a BioSteel athlete ambassador. What that means for you is that you can get a 30% discount with the code VibrantNRG when purchasing BioSteel products through their website (link in bio). - Rick #veganhockeyplayer #vibrantNRG #biosteel #sportsdrink #energy #recovery #endurance #electrolytes #athlete #vegan #aminoacids #immunity #sugarfree #veganathlete #hockey #hockeyplayer #discount #superstar #workout #train #skate #lift #muscle #strong #recover #hydrate #hydration
“It’s bigger than hockey.” Adam has said t “It’s bigger than hockey.” Adam has said those words several times about the friendships that have formed on the ice over the last six years. Skating hard together and putting in the work to improve, we’ve all become better hockey players. In fact, Bailey, Adam & Ryan became D1 college hockey players. We took this photo two years ago. Off the ice, I’ve supported all three through college transfers, and helped one transition to a plant-based diet and another go dairy free. I was super proud to see Adam and Ryan graduate last month while Bailey has one more year of college hockey eligibility. I hate that their experience as elite college athletes was cut short by the pandemic. This special trio shall be referred to as my first class. Now that we are working with @uclahockey , I’m looking forward to watching and serving a new group of student athletes as they grow, develop and mature over the years. And it works both ways. These three have had more impact on me than they know, which is exactly why Adam’s words are so sage. “It’s bigger than hockey.” - Rick #veganhockeyplayer #vibrantNRG #tbt #throwbackthursday #hockey #icehockey #collegehockey #hockeyphotography #uclahockey #friends #friendship #mentor #mentorship #graduation #dairyfree #plantbased #vegan #veganathlete #dairyfreeathlete #plantbasedathlete #grow #development #improve #better #skate #train #work #athlete
