    I sit down with Alicia Silverstone, an actress best known for her iconic role in the hit film Clueless. She’s also a New York Times best selling author, health advocate, co-creator of MyKind Organic Supplements, and host of The Real Heal Podcast. Alicia is a dedicated mother who has boldly and unapologetically shared her passions for natural living and natural parenting since the time she’s been in the spotlight - even if it was met with ridicule or laughter.
    As a long time vegan, she published two incredible books that were some of the first vegan books of their kind: The Kind diet and The Kind Mama.
    In this episode we cover:
    - Alicia’s vegan story
    - What it was like being vegan in Hollywood before it was cool
    - Different kinds of activism and what the world needs more of
    - Her tips for raising healthy kids
    - How she responds to push back against her “alternative” parenting styles
    - What respectful parenting looks like for her family
    - The relationship between her and her son Bear
    - Staying true to yourself and your beliefs
    - Having confidence in not caring what people think about you
    - Her podcast and what she’s excited about now
    - Co-sleeping, elimination communication, raising her son Bear vegan, and more

    The kind diet was the first book I had when I went vegan, 13 years ago!! It was my bible!
    I still pull it out, every now and then, and even have certain recipes memorized.💜
    I especially love the peach crumble, rustic pasta and date, apple cinnamon oatmeal!
    I can’t wait to check out the podcast!
    Thank you both, for your honesty, hard work and dedication. I feel so inspired.💕

    I loved this interview so much!!! Alicia is the reason I became a vegan 12 years ago. I was at a bookstore just looking for some books on cleaner, healthier eating I bought her book "The Kind Diet". I read the whole book in one sitting and decided to go vegan overnight and I have never looked back! One of the best decisions I have ever made!

    Dear Ellen, I’m an Italian psychologist and loving mama of two amazing boys, I deeply believe in conscious, positive parenting and, as always (I’m a long time subscriber on your channel too) I’ve loved this podcast, finding it truly inspiring and full of joy. I hope I’ll be able to express myself at my best (as English is not my first language) but there’s only one thing Alicia said that I think could be triggering for someone.. “Never” (as “always”) it’s a dangerous word, and we should be all really aware using it… I’m sure Alicia has a natural kind attitude and probably she truly never raises her voice or loose patience, but the reality for the majority of parents it’s really different. We all experienced tiredness, irritability, even anger, and there are times when we “messed up” with our kids as you fairly said about yourself during the podcast. Anger is an human feeling, and we should model how to managed it, not hiding it, otherwise kids would learn to hide it too, or, even worst, they may learn that have negative feelings it’s wrong and not normal. I just want to say that maybe positive parents are kind and patient most of the times, but no one should be blamed himself if it’s not perfect all the time. The important thing during hard times it’s to control our reaction, breathe, step back and, eventually, apologize to our kids.
    I hope I didn’t sound critical, it wasn’t my intention at all (I adore both you and Alicia) but as professional I’m aware that social media can fix unrealistic standard and sometimes make feel people inadequate. I just want to say to all the amazing parents out there that are reading that I’m sure they’re doing their best, even if they make mistakes ♥️Thank you so much for your work, your content it’s always inspiring and profound. Kisses from Italy 🇮🇹

      Omg THIS!!! Thank you for this! Honestly this podcast made me feel like a terrible parent when deep down I know I'm not. I'm a homeschooling parent of 4 under 5, and I most certainly don't feed my kids these perfect foods ALL the time, I try my best to, but it just isn't practical. And what kind of perfect angel parent never has to discipline their kids??? Or never feels overwhelmed and yells at them??? I know she said she makes some mistakes at times and gave examples...those examples are not real life. I'm sorry. I love Ellen, but is this for real? Lol. I would also be interested in knowing her day-to-day living situation, how much she works, how much help she gets from friends and family, do you have a spouse, does your spouse work outside the home, do you have a personal chef, housecleaner, nanny? All these things contribute to a person's parenting styles, as well as their patience level. I really try to live by a lot of what they mentioned in this podcast, but honestly it sounded like a whole lot of perfection happening over here. Not real life. That's my two cents anyways.

    Love you two together! Alicia you have been such an inspiration to me as a vegan and a mother. I am the only vegan in my family. We recently lost our home and was living out of our car until family took us in until we could get back on our feet. Being on the road was hard I missed my home cooked vegan meals and taking care of my body but I didn’t worry about it I did what I had to do to take care of my children and still managed to stay plant based even if it was Taco Bell 🤣… We also had to give up our dogs for adoption because no one would foster them while being homeless but they went to a beautiful family. Being a kind mama is something I strive for everyday. You have been my motivation to stay vegan and stay kind not only for my children but for myself. My children aren’t vegan but I am never going to give up trying but they do love your kids multivitamin gummies. Thank you for all that you do! I love you!

      Dude we are all the same species with the same nutrient requirements. We have different levels needed and different calories needed but we all need the same stuff. You were probably not eating enough calories or not eating enough variety. This really isn't difficult. If you really care about animals you will take the time to find a doctor who supports your choices and will help you. You will also be sure to look up chronometer and different whole food vegan recipes.
      I say all this as one of those people who failed at being vegan, "it made me weak", so I quit. I was so disgusted by these industries, and I started eating "local" and still, I hated it. So I took the time to get educated. And now I'm doing it and no problems. I'm healthier than I ever was.

    Edited as sadly Alicia is definitely an apologist and was sad to see her not take a harder stance on animals. Telling the world they don’t have to be vegan…come on.

    On the point about the “extreme activism” like people dumping red paint on others etc: it’s not my place to tell someone else how to do their activism, and we all have a journey with how we do activism, and our activism styles & tactics can change and mature in different ways through our activism-life cycle. And people receive all those messages from activists in different ways as well. For some people, the dumping of red paint WORKS for them and the message is strong and shifts a change in thinking. For a lot of other people (it seems), it may turn them off and therefore ridicule vegans and veganism without ever truly understanding the issue. And that’s unfortunate because people shouldn’t shut down veganism based off one scenario / person that they happen to dislike.
    Never the less, i welcome all forms of activism, and furthermore I encourage conversation and discourse and constructive criticism of activism, with the hope that people will continue to improve their activism in their own ways. And I can stand in solidarity with all activists (whether that’s feminists or animal-activists or environmental activists etc) without fully agreeing on their personal approach on how to do their own activism.
    How many times can I say activist & activism in one sentence 😅🤪
    Thank you both for this podcast and conversation! 💕

I don't know what shit is in the food over there but I was not OK for about 10 days after coming home to Ireland. I know a bunch of stuff that's used in the US is banned here, but I didn't think it would affect me like it did.

    I loved her in Diary of a Wimpy Kid. She's about my age and I feel she was kind of picked on in the media. I remember her talking about chewing food and giving it to her babe. I've done the exact same thing- it only makes sense when you're a mother- but she got such negative press. I'd like to see her in more comedies- I think she's very funny.

    Love this episode and love you both, but just one thing didn't sit right and I guess I took it a little personally. Alicia seemed to say that thanks to Bear's vegan diet and her gentle parenting Bear was very calm and didn't go through the terrible twos etc. My vegan daughter was born with a very strong will and is most certainly going through the terrible twos. I feel we have to be careful about generalising... I know I'm a great mum and have given 100% BFing until she turned two, co-sleeping, gentle parenting and she's still a little monster at the moment! ;-)

    Once her kid is older and is online and is out in the world beyond his mother's grasp, I feel really bad that he has to see his mother's stories about feeding him regurgitated food from her mouth and bragging about sleeping in the same bed with him when he was 11. We were all mortified when our parents said intimate things in front of family or friends, but imagine the whole world knowing your private details. Even if you don't think this stuff is embarrassing because it's ~natural~ or whatever, your kid may very think differently, and you're taking away their right to privacy which you should be safe guarding as parent. Just SHUT UP. and wait until your kids are old enough to give consent to release the details - if they even want to.

    There's a lot of humans so a lot of cows have to die. Is it the aesthetic of all the cows dying in the same building?

    If Alicia says going vegan is what is keeping her skin so good, THAT is where she should focus. She has the skin of a 20 year old. The only way you can tell she's not still 20 is the maturity and depth. I do agree that it's NOT good conversation (vegan). Most will simply never go vegan. But being kind to animals doesn't have to mean not eating animals. The dbags above trapped us (a test? take another soul out of this world to save yourself, or let yourself die to save them ... If this is a test, how cruel of a test ... It seems like, we are programmed, and put in an environment where it's impossible to ACTUALLY LIKE the superiors above (assuming they exist) while we are living on planet Earth - real life is not much different from The Hunger Games, the ones running the game oc are the superiors (they call this a game?). We need animals for B12, because, in humans, the bacteria that makes B12 is produced too far down in gut to absorb much if any. Sea creatures are high in B12, like shrimp and clams, for instance. These can be harvested quite humanely. So could some land animals if done right such as walking them into chamber with increased CO2, which would put them to sleep before dying. Then, afterwards they can be send to the butcher. This takes the "slaughter house" out of the equation. We now have a CO2 house instead.
    And when you see, all over the place in nature, other animals eating lots of other animals, you see that it's programmed in to some extent. It's sad. I don't think any of us ENJOY the biology that we were born into (the biological need for humans to eat animals - either placed upon us or evolved into - science says evolved into, but we don't REALLY know how much of history could have simply been "placed here" by the 'superiors'). I think it's MEANT to be a dilemma. How do you react? Just like evolution is a dilemma for most people. I'm just like, whatever, there's both sides to that story - evolution clearly is a thing, but it makes you then not believe in life after death - what a pickle - this is all MEANT to be a thing you have to deal with - an internal emotional struggle - crazy, but that's the way they do it (I guess). various tests or something ... I bet some neural networks that use human behavior from around the world, and over time, as input data could actually crack the code so to speak. What exactly is programmed in (on average - everyone is unique)? but then there's the question of "programmed into our genetics based on evolution or based on the dbags above"? oh, what a pickle. the many pickles of life. This spiral could continue forever.
    You have to solve the issue on your own outside of the others. Discussing at parties won't help. Bring the solutions to the banks - give them economic incentive. Skin is not a bad focus (NOBODY has skin like that at her age - nobody). Few likes the banks, but they are the ones that make things move. You want to affect the world, you convince the banks, and let THEM convince the people with a mountain of ads.
    It's not the only way the dbags above trapped us ... (teenagers aren't too fond of the dbags above either - suffer the embarrassment of mastication, or not eat at all).
    One last thing - CAFFEINE consumption is likely the biggest problem in the world. especially coffee as I've read that coffee in particular has molecules that prevent cortisol metabolism (blocks certain enzymes). That extra stress makes people ANGRY. Take away the cortisol overload, take away the anger.
    Thank you for going naked for the sheep! Maybe you could do another to save the trees?
    Just wanted to add a serious note - Alicia *IS* the epitomy of a hero (and one of my personal heroes). Same with Julia Butterfly. The people that ACTUALLY do stuff to make a positive change in the world.
