Stevan Mirkovich is co-owner of Planted Expo a trade show, platform, and network designed to support you, no matter where you are on your plant-based journey.

As Canada’s largest plant-based event, Planted Expo operates over 2 days in both Vancouver and Toronto. It is an immersive event featuring over 200 innovative local vegan and plant-based businesses and inspiring international speakers.

Stevan’s personal love of and journey with food has taken him from food addiction and emotional over-eating, to embracing a junk food vegan lifestyle before finally doing the deep work involved to now live a healthy plant-based lifestyle.

He has so much to offer both the plant-based curious and also new and long term vegans especially in relation to loving the food that nurtures your health and building the community to support your lifestyle.

In this conversation we cover:

• Changes to the way Stevan ate helped him loose nearly 100 pounds.
• Food addiction, emotional eating and junk food veganism.
• Stevan used to turn to food as a pick me up and to run away from feelings. What does he turn to now?
• The importance of connecting with a like-minded community.
• How to handle social situations as a vegan.
• What does Stevan wish he knew about plant-based living 20 years ago?
• Planted Expo is behind the largest plant-based events in Canada and is expanding into the US in 2024!

I genuinely admire Stevan’s ability to turn the other cheek to the comments and actions that can be frustrating to encounter as an ethical vegan. If you also appreciate the compassion, positivity and generosity he embodies you’ll be happy to hear wherever you are in the world there’s a whole component of what Planted Expo offers that we didn’t get to in this conversation.

It’s called Planted Learn and it’s a growing collection of online courses featuring leading voices in the plant-based movement, the first of which Foundations: 30 Days to a Plant-based Life is presented by Stevan.
