In today’s episode of The Plant
Trainers Podcast we talk to the Yogi Triathlete, Jess and BJ
Gumkowski about high vibes. High vibes is the state we all want to
be in – feeling good, moving with the flow of life and being our
very best positive selves. We talk about how our exercise, the
people we interact with, the food we eat, getting still and the way
we talk and think all affect our vibes. Jess shares how she used to
be a very low vibe person (she was kind and caring, just not so
much to herself) and how she made small changes to be the high
energy, positive thinking, trail running Yogi Triathlete she is
today. There is a really great connection between the 4 of us on
this show and we hope you feel it!
Jess is Head Yogi at Yogi Triathlete. She is a yoga instructor, meditation teacher, multi-time Ironman triathlete, ultra runner and podcaster. Jess is a Vegan Lifestyle Coach and Educator and author of the Yogi Triathlete Cookbook: High Vibe Recipes for the Athlete Appetite. She credits mindfulness practices and high vibrational eating with creating significant and meaningful changes in her health, career, and relationships; and holds both essential to peak performance in sport and life. Jess has well over a decade of experience working with athletes on body and mind mastery.
BJ is an 11x Ironman triathlete, yoga instructor, podcaster, personal trainer and mindfulness-based triathlon and running coach. His zeal for life is infectious as is his passion for serving those around him in achieving their greatest dreams.
BJ’s mindfulness practice was born out of his darkest night and has since become a focal point of his training. He is certified in Plant-Based Nutrition from the T. Colin Campbell Center from Nutrition Studies and is currently one of the top Ironman triathletes in the USA and he’s doing it all on plants.
Together they are on a mission to create a better world by changing the face of athleticism, teaching mindfulness, sharing stories through the Yogi Triathlete podcast and promoting a healthy lifestyle through plant-based nutrition.
