1. New Interview at Peaktestosterone.com

Q. I am sure that your diet today is different than when you first became a vegan? What have you learned along the way about ways to optimize a vegan diet for health and fitness?

A. (Yes it is. I make sure to have a lot of variety and avoid processed soy, wheat gluten, and fake meat products. Instead I focus on real vegetarian food such as nuts, seeds, legumes, fruits, and veggies. I get complete proteins by combining nuts and seeds with legumes. For example Lentils and pistachios, black beans and pumpkin seeds, navy bean and hempseeds. Such combinations equal a nice balance of protein, healthy fat,...

1. Live Life Aggressively On Super Human Radio

I had a great time chatting with Carl Lanore about my book, Live Life Aggressively! What Self-help Gurus Should Be Telling You

Here is Carl's description of the episode:

Mahler's new book is anything but boring. He steps out of the typical to share his opinions and views on life and how to squeeze the most joy and success out of it while recognizing that in every life.. not only should will rain drops fall.... but some rain is necessary. Its not what you think. I would call his message refreshing and a much needed wake-up call for the masses of sheeple.

1. Why addressing excess inflammation is critical Part 3 By Mike Mahler and Lisa Shaffer

LS: so we can lower inflammation a great deal by avoiding foods that cause a strong inflammatory response in us. What about supplements? Is there anything worth taking?

MM: Yes and I have two favorites for lowering inflammation: magnesium oil and systemic enzymes.

Magnesium is critical for overall health and lowering inflammation and magnesium oil is the best source of magnesium as it by passes the GI tract and has much higher absorption. It has also been shown to ramp up the stress management hormone DHEA that I can personally...

1. Why addressing excess inflammation is critical Part 2

By Mike Mahler and Lisa Shaffer

LS: Lets talk about diet. What foods are causing all of this inflammation in the first place and what can we do about it besides addressing the omega 3-6 ratio?

MM: High sugar and processed food consumption are the primary causes of inflammation. I firmly believe that sugar plays the biggest role in all diseases and is highly addictive. Sugar addiction is not much different than hardcore drug addiction as far too many people realize. Tell the average person to cut out sugar for a week and they will have some serious withdrawal symptoms...

1. Why addressing excess inflammation is critical for overall health and well-being By Mike Mahler and Lisa Shaffer

1. Are you attached to the results of your actions?By Mike Mahler

“You have a right to your actions, but never to the results of your actions. Act for the action’s sake”—Bhagavad Gita

This is a great line that has followed me for many years. It is from the sacred Hindu scripture the Bhagavad Gita, which means song of God. It is considered by many to be one of the most important books ever. This is something I agree with wholeheartedly. It is loaded with an incredible amount of wisdom and every time I read it, I pick up something new. While I have read it many times I never really understood the line above on action until I lived it a few times.
