Do you want to live a healthier and more robust life? The key to living a full, healthy, and joyous life lies within the foods we eat—and our relationship to them. Because health isn’t accurately measured by the circumference of your waist or how much you can bench press- true vitality is measured by how you feel, not just physically but deep within. Olympic medalist Dotsie Bausch alongside Baywatch actress and certified health coach, Alexandra Paul, take listeners of all ages on a journey to optimal health and stamina through plant based eating. Dotsie and Alexandra, who both fought back from severe food addictions in their twenties, interview expert nutritionists, pro athletes, innovative thought leaders, physicians and plant-based celebrities. Through their stories, you’ll learn how to optimize your health and pave a path for a more meaningful life. So get inspired and join the Switch4Good revolution.

15 - Nik Tyler: Compassion Is a Journey with MFA Celebrity Relations Manager
Our diets are forever evolving and never perfect, but if we allow ourselves to have compassion and understand the journey, we can get to a healthier place.
Nik Tyler lives this philosophy daily.
He’s an actor, vegan, and the Celebrity Relations Manager for Mercy for Animals, the leading farm animal protection non-profit organization.
Nik was raised as a vegetarian, taught to honor the Jainism belief of ahimsa or to do no harm.
However, he still struggled with sugar and vegan “junk” food, and it took time for him to practice compassion toward himself and his body.
A once outspoken animal activist in college, Nik continues to advocate for the vegan lifestyle, but with a bit more tact.
He has come to understand that compassion is inherent in all of us, but we each need time to realize and act upon it.
The most effective traits of an activist are patience and the ability to listen, according to Nik.
Nik is both insightful and playful, and this conversation was a true gem. We hope you find inspiration from this episode, but enjoy a few laughs as well!
What we discuss in this episode:
- Jainism & Ahimsa
- Growing up as a vegetarian
- Sugar addiction & reboots
