Kudos to NYC mayor Eric Adams for walking the talk

Kudos to NYC mayor Eric Adams for walking the talk by mandating vegan Fridays in NYC public schools.

Not long ago, Adams was obese, diabetic and rapidly losing his eyesight. Frightened after being told that he would soon be blind, Adams went vegan overnight and reversed his poor health. The weight quickly fell off, he’s no longer diabetic and his eyesight was fully restored by ditching dairy and eating only plant-based foods.

By creating vegan Fridays in NYC public schools, which begins this week, Adams will be able to educate and inform nearly one million students about healthier food choices, food that is just as tasty, but less harmful to the body, kinder to animals and gentler on our planet.

New ideas, new ways of thinking, new actions. This is what leadership looks like. This is how change is made.

Most people only train their strengths, but the only way to improve is to also train your weaknesses.

I’ve been unhappy with my foot speed on the ice lately so I’m committed to working on it off ice by training on an agility ladder. Considering I’ve only ever used an agility ladder a few times in my life, this definitely puts me outside my comfort zone. But that’s how to grow; that’s how to achieve peak performance. - Rick

I train and work hard, and don’t have a lot of time to prepare meals. So, I took this vegetable soup from Whole Foods Market, added garbanzo beans, brown rice, hempseed and nutritional yeast. Presto! A hearty plant-based, protein powered meal! - Rick

Salt, sugar, oil and fat. Processed foods are load

Salt, sugar, oil and fat. Processed foods are loaded with these addictive ingredients, even if you’re eating food that is vegan. That’s why the best food choices are those that are whole foods, plant based. That means eating food “as close to the way it came out of the ground” as possible. Think vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, beans and legumes.

If you want to get lighter, leaner and healthier, minimize your consumption of processed foods. I guarantee that doing so will make you feel better, look better and perform better. - Rick

Today is not a day off. There are no days off as long as inequality and injustice persist.

Today, we remember the man and honor the legacy and leadership of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a dreamer whose dream of equality and justice for all has yet to be realized.

Today (and every day) is an opportunity to do better and to be better.

Today (and every day) is an opportunity to stand up, speak out and fight for change.

Today (and every day) is an opportunity to educate yourself about how unequal things are for BIPOC in the US and take action.

Today (and every day) is an opportunity to make a difference in order to move Dr. King’s dream closer to becoming reality. And until that dream comes true, until people are treated and judged by the content of their character, not by the color of their skin (or by their sex, sexuality or religion); until education and opportunity for advancement is equally available to everyone; until the justice system is fair and impartial for all; until all Americans are allowed to exercise their right to vote fairly; and until systemic racism, sexism and speciesism are abolished and part of America’s ugly past; then today is definitely not a day off.

Sundays are for comfort food. While not one of my whole food, plant-based staples, all the talk around the holidays about mac & cheese inspired me seek out a delicious plant-based version. Found it!

Upton’s Naturals is easy and fast. Mix, heat and serve. Super tasty, low fat and packed with protein, it’s made with clean ingredients and has zero cholesterol. No dairy and no harm - to animals or to your health. Enjoy! - Rick

“Stick to your routine.” - Kevan Miller One o

“Stick to your routine.” - Kevan Miller

One of the keys to peak performance is consistency. It’s showing up daily. It’s attention to detail in your preparation, performing at your best, and finishing by beginning your preparation for the next day.

You can’t control change. Your settings and circumstances will no doubt change. In fact, life will conspire to challenge you and your focus unexpectedly in unexpected ways. That’s why sticking to your routine is vitally important to performing at your best.

Maybe you can’t follow your routine to perfection every day, but doing the best you can to adhere to it as closely as possible will provide comfort and reassurance, alleviate stress/worry surrounding the uncertainty, and bolster confidence and calmness, allowing you to deliver a peak performance.

What’s your limiter? Do you know? Everyone has a

What’s your limiter? Do you know? Everyone has a limiter, something that prevents them from achieving peak performance. Mine is sleep.

Ever since I was born, sleep has been a struggle. Not getting enough quality sleep adversely impacts mental acuity and slows the body’s ability to recover from workouts and competition. In order to achieve peak performance, rest and recovery must be EQUAL to the energy and exertion spent in training and games (or races). Train and compete hard means that you must rest and recover just as intensely.

One of the changes I made since the quarantine of 2020 is to devote eight hours per night to being in bed. I do not sleep the entire time as much as I’d like to be doing, but I do rest so that I recover better from the day’s workout(s) in order to train and compete at my best the next day.

Whether you’re an athlete, executive, student or a parent, make time to get more sleep and rest if you want to perform at your best. - Rick

Motivation is super high today, the first Monday o

Motivation is super high today, the first Monday of a new year, and people are eager to make changes to look, feel and perform better; improve their health; and increase their energy, strength and speed. Here are five tips to help you stay motivated all year long.

1. Get real: Be realistic about your goals and the time it takes to achieve them. You want to challenge yourself, not be overwhelmed by trying to do or change too much all at once.

2. Steps: To achieve your goal and/or make a change likely requires smaller steps along the way that can be used to monitor your progress. Embrace the process, step by step.

3. Passion: If you don’t love what you’re doing, and hopefully you do, you at least love the change/goal/result that you’re pursuing.

4. Community: Pursuing your goal(s) with others who are pursuing the same goal or have already achieved the goal helps keep you inspired and you might even learn from them. “Environment is stronger than will power.” - Yogananda

5. Accountability: Unless you are a master of self discipline, you need someone to help keep you honest as well as hold you accountable for showing up day after day after day. It could be a friend, significant other or a coach.

Every day is an opportunity to begin anew. Every h

Every day is an opportunity to begin anew. Every hour is time to make a change. But many people use larger time markers, like the beginning of a new month or a new year, as the moment to change a habit or lifestyle.

Veganuary is here. Over a million people around the world have participated by committing to eat only plant-based food in January. If you want to give plant-based eating a monthlong test to see how you feel, look and perform on plant-based foods, you can sign up for free on the Veganuary site (link in bio). You’ll receive delicious recipes, tips, encouragement and the support of community. I’m here to help you as well. YOU can do this!

It’s fast and easy to eat healthy, plant-based meals! Watch as I prepare a delicious spinach salad with seitan that is plant-powered with more than 35 grams of protein. It also packs energizing carbs and healthy fats along with an abundance of fiber, vitamins and minerals needed to boost immunity and fuel peak performance.

This meal is heart healthy, naturally low in fat, contains zero cholesterol, and is rich in antioxidants to help reduce inflammation.

Whether you are an athlete, executive or a busy parent, it’s this simple to eat for peak performance. DM me for the recipe or to discuss how I can help you achieve your peak performance. - @rickscott16

An important reminder: Santa, like 65% of the world’s population (up to 95% for BIPOC people) can’t digest dairy. If you’re planning to leave milk and cookies for the jolly fella, please put out dairy-free milk (pea, soy, almond, rice and cashew milks are his faves!) and plant-based cookies.

This warning popped up on my phone during a Zoom t

This warning popped up on my phone during a Zoom this afternoon. With what’s happening with Omicron, I was surprised that it took this long to receive a warning. Heck, I had original COVID prior to being vaxxed and Delta four months after being vaxxed. Zero exposure warnings. I’m definitely NOT looking to complete my COVID collection by adding Omicron to my stats four weeks after receiving my booster.

With such a contagious virus, how can you protect yourself? These seven plant-based foods support a healthy immune system.

Ginger - a rich source of antioxidants

Beets - high in fiber, beets enhance gut health, including gut bacteria that provides protection

Garlic - contains the immune booster alliin that also reduces inflammation

Turmeric - a spice that reduces inflammation, the curcumin in turmeric activates T cells and other pathogens that protect from illness

Mushrooms - high in vitamin D to boost the immune system and contain beta-glucans that help keep illness at bay

Oranges, Strawberries & Kiwis - rich in vitamin C and antioxidants that fortify the immune system

Oatmeal - oats are high in fiber and zinc, aiding immunity

Add these seven foods into your holiday meals and celebrate the season safely! - Rick

New skate day is always exciting. But, like any bi

New skate day is always exciting. But, like any big change, even one that fosters improvement, growth and progress, it also comes with issues and insecurities. What will they feel like? What adjustments do I need to make? Will they hurt? Change takes me out of my comfort zone and I’m not confident when I’m not comfortable. That brings on anxieties about how I will play. But once I get used to my new skates, my feet will feel better, my ankles will be better supported, and the new skates will allow me to perform better.

The same principles apply to any major change. Let’s use nutrition as an example. You may be comfortable eating a certain way. Perhaps you’ve always eaten that way and changing your diet means that suddenly you don’t know what to eat. Changing your nutrition may bring worries about how new foods will make you feel. You may enjoy the way your current food tastes and may not want to make changes even though you know better nutrition will make you feel better, lose weight, and improve your health and athletic performance.

There is an adjustment process that comes with change that you’ve got to work through. Stick with it. Keep focused on your goal. Change, like new skates, can ultimately lead to improvement. To grow, often you just have to be willing to get out of your comfort zone while you get used to new habits…or new skates. Once you do, you’ll be flying! - Rick

Super excited about being asked to create a wellne

Super excited about being asked to create a wellness program for a major law firm comprised of more than 200 employees. The holistic plan I designed is comprised of three key aspects:

* Energy & Exercise
* Nutrition
* Meditation & Mindfulness

The idea is to get the body moving daily, hydrate and nourish the body with plant-based foods, and manage stress and focus the mind to maximize peace and optimize productivity.

As the owner of two PR/marketing businesses plus coaching, I understand the time demand placed upon these busy lawyers. I also know the importance of balanced living, including daily workouts, healthy nutrition, and meditation.

While the program for the firm begins in the New Year, if you are ready to get started now and you’re in need of guidance, motivation and accountability, DM me. I’ll buy you the first coaching session. - Rick

I didn’t look at my phone the entire time I was

I didn’t look at my phone the entire time I was at the holiday party and the world didn’t end.

For more than three hours, I kept my phone in my pocket and do you know what happened? I connected with friends on a deeper level because I was fully present. Because my head was not down staring at my phone, I smiled at and made eye contact with more party guests. I talked to and met new people, and listened closely to them because I wasn’t thinking about what I might be missing or about my next social media post. I engaged in meaningful conversations because that was my intention.

The result of my experiment was that I had the best social experience and the most fun I’ve had in a social setting in years.

Put your phone away and practice mindfulness at your next holiday or social gathering. I promise that you will have a richer experience. - Rick
