I am so grateful for this powerful conversation. Geoff Palmer, might be known as a champion Vegan Bodybuilder and Founder plus CEO of Clean Machine, Plant-Based Fitness Nutrition and yet, it is his mission and passion to give that I am most drawn to and impressed by.

Great loss, early in life, left Geoff ready to give up on living.

Thankfully a chance meeting would help him transform his anger and sadness into strength, love and a relentless drive to positively impact as many people as possible.

I can genuinely say this has been one of the most moving, insightful and impactful conversations I have had for Healthification. It is a conversation to share with the men in your life.

I have not met anyone who is better able to articulate the forces both internal and societal that combine with a devastatingly ability to keep men stuck in a fear and ego-based,  individualist struggle to maintain power and status quo.

Rather than embracing love, compassion and the oneness of this world.

In this conversation we cover:

• The impact of great loss in Geoff’s early life which led him to booze, drugs and three suicide attempts.
• A woman who looked “glowingly happy” walked into the bar Geoff was drinking at.
• The heart and mind opening experience that allowed Geoff to turn his perspective and life around.
• Advice for those looking to align their actions with their values who might not be surrounded by like-minded people.
• Geoff sold / gave away and travelled to 48 countries and immersed himself in the ways other cultures connect with love, purpose, transformation.
• Ways to cause an internal change without the huge loss and rock bottom Geoff experienced.
• Shifting the stereotypes around veganism and masculinity.
• The male indoctrination to wanting to be right and the Freedom in breaking away from that fear and ego based need.
• Life is not survival of the fittest, it’s about co-operation.
• The proven negative health consequences of animal proteins.
• Clean Machine’s Clean Plant Protein Powder | B12 | Omega 3’s.

I had both shivers and epiphany moments in that conversation.

When Geoff spoke to his judgement and anger blocking his father’s love? I know many of us relate.

A wise question – in relation to resistance to change. Geoff asks, “Am I resisting this [science] because I don’t want it to be true?”

There is so much we did not get to, such as Geoff creating the first 100% vegan bodybuilding competition in the world and his success’s as a drug-free vegan athlete.

Even more reason for me, to invite Geoff back and of course for you to follow him online where you will see, his guns are as big as my head!

Though I do think it’s fitting that today we kept to the stuff even more important than rocking around in a fit, strong, vegan body… and that is leading with true strength, love and compassion.

A wise question - in relation to resistance to change. Geoff asks, Am I resisting this because I don’t want it to be true? Share on X Men have been indoctrinated that power over, is their strength. Power over women... power over nature, power over animals. They have been conditioned and indoctrinated to believe this myth and it's wrong, it's self destructive. Share on X
