#104 Global Treaty on Plastic Waste: What Went Wrong in Geneva

Sign up to the Greenpeace petition to stop lobbyists being part of the negotiations: https://act.gp/4fGLSqU
 
Welcome back to The Keto Vegan Podcast, I'm Rach your host — and no, today we’re not talking seitan or macros. We’re talking plastic. Yep, the kind clogging our oceans, food chains, and apparently now our lungs too. This week’s episode unpacks what happened in Geneva at the UN plastics summit — where nearly 200 countries came together to save the planet… or at least that was the plan. Spoiler alert: it didn’t go well.
But before we dive into the lobbyist chaos and treaty collapse, if you're loving the mix of planet, science and a bit of sass, make sure you follow, subscribe, and share the pod. Every little bit helps amplify these conversations — and keeps us plastic-free and proud.
Key Takeaways
The Geneva Plastics Treaty Talks CollapsedDespite high hopes, the 11-day UN summit ended with no agreement, thanks to deep divides between countries pushing for action and petrochemical giants resisting change.
Production Caps Were the Main BattlegroundNations like Rwanda and the EU pushed for caps on plastic production — but were blocked by oil-rich states and corporate lobbyists fighting to protect their profits.
Two Draft Treaties, Zero AgreementOne ambitious, one watered-down — neither treaty moved forward. The US and allies flatly refused to accept binding rules on production and toxic chemicals.
Lobbyists Hijacked the NegotiationsBig Plastic sent in their troops — lobbyists from Shell and INEOS — to water down commitments and stall progress, raising serious questions about who’s writing our environmental policies.
Where Do We Go From Here?Some nations, like Colombia, are moving ahead solo. China’s hints at lifecycle reform are promising. And grassroots pressure — from us — is more vital than ever.
No Treaty Is Better Than a Weak OneAs frustrating as the collapse is, accepting a toothless deal would’ve been worse. Real change will need grit, persistence and, yes, probably more chaos before progress.
Best Moments
“You can’t keep mopping up the floor if the tap stays on.”
“It's like letting tobacco companies write the smoking laws.”
“Waiting for consensus isn't going to cut it this time.”
“They said, ‘Don’t worry, I’ll tidy up my room eventually’ — while continuing to chuck pizza boxes out the window.”
“Geneva was supposed to be the place where the tide turned. Instead, it was where the tide pulled us under.”
“Plastic pollution isn't waiting for anyone — and neither should we.”

#103 Survival Guide for Non-Vegans – Part 2: Beyond the Dinner Table 🥦🚫🍽️

In this episode of The Keto Vegan, I’m picking up where I left off in the last episode — helping you avoid those face-palm moments 🤦‍♀️ when interacting with your vegan friends. We covered food faux pas 🍔❌ last time, but today we’re diving into the other social slip-ups that can make things awkward (or downright offensive) for a vegan 🐄❤️.
From the “don’t invite us to the zoo” rule 🦁🚫, to why carnist one-liners about canine teeth aren’t clever 🦷🙄, to not interrogating our health choices 💊🥗 — we’re breaking down why these things matter and how to approach them with empathy instead 💛.
If you’ve got vegan friends, even if you think you haven’t (spoiler: you probably have) 🕵️‍♀️, this is your crash course in being respectful without being weird.
Key Takeaways
Skip the animal exploitation invites 🐎🛑 – Zoos, aquariums, races, and circuses aren’t fun days out for someone who’s vegan; they represent suffering and exploitation.
Drop the tired carnist jokes 🥩🤔 – Remarks about canine teeth or “what if you were on a desert island?” aren’t original, persuasive, or helpful.
Conversations go both ways 🔄💬 – If you ask vegans to justify their lifestyle, be prepared for questions about yours.
Don’t play nutrition police 🥦👮‍♀️ – Constantly quizzing a vegan about B12, iron, or omega-3 is intrusive and often comes from defensiveness, not genuine concern.
Veganism is more than a diet 🌱❤️ – For most, it’s a moral and ethical stance for animals, with health and environmental benefits as a bonus.
Best Moments
“Think about it logically — when vegans think about these places, all they can see is the abuse and exploitation of animals 🐑💔.”
“They’re not clever one-liners, and vegans that don’t respond probably realise that actually that’s not the best way to change somebody’s mind 💭.”
“How would you feel if you were asked, ‘Why aren’t you vegan yet?’ 🤷‍♀️”
“Can you imagine if your vegan friends asked you about the risk of cancer and heart disease because of the meat you’re eating? 🥩➡️💔”
“Most often it’s an ethical choice. The only reason I am vegan is for the animals 🐖❤️… the ripple effect is that it’s good for the planet 🌍 and my health 🏃‍♀️.”

#102 How Not to Upset Your Vegan Friend: Part 1 of the Survival Guide 🙅‍♂️🥦

Welcome back to The Keto Vegan, I’m Rach—your host, part plant-powered 🌱, part opinionated 💬, and very much not a fan of tofu ❌🍥.
This episode is for all you non-vegans out there who’ve got a vegan in your life 💁‍♀️ and are quietly stressing about how to feed them, whether you’re allowed to mention cheese 🧀, or what on Earth to do at a BBQ 🍔🔥. Don’t worry—I’ve got you.
With over 4% of UK adults now vegan 🇬🇧🌱, chances are you do know someone. And if that someone is also keto vegan? You’ve basically found Bigfoot 🦄.
I’m breaking down how to be a more thoughtful friend—from meal planning to ethical respect—and sharing some real talk 🎤 on what not to do if you want to stay in your vegan friend’s good books 📚💚.
There’s a Part Two coming 🔜, so make sure you subscribe, follow, and share this with anyone who’s ever asked, “Can vegans eat honey?” 🐝 (Spoiler alert: no).
🔑 Key Takeaways
Ask, don’t assume. Just because it’s vegan doesn’t mean your friend likes it 🙅‍♀️🍄—preferences vary!
Cook one inclusive meal. No separate plate politics—vegan food is for everyone 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🥗.
Respect the ethics. Don’t bring animal products 🥩🚫 into a vegan’s home. It’s not just awkward—it’s disrespectful.
Fake meats aren’t universal. Some love ’em, some don’t 🤷‍♀️🌭—best to ask first!
Don’t exclude vegans to avoid “the hassle.” That’s exclusion based on beliefs 🙈—not a good look.
Best Moments
“Why don’t you cook food that everybody can eat? I know—vegan food—everybody can eat it. Isn’t that incredible?” 😲🍽️
“Don’t take your animal products to their place. Often, people are vegan not because of dietary but because of ethical reasons.” 💔🐄
“Don’t assume that your vegan friend is going to be like Rach and eat all your fake meats.” 🍔🧐
“If you do think they’re a vegan, not going to invite them because it’s going to be too much hassle—this is actually exclusion because of their beliefs.” 🚷💭
“Vegans aren’t intending to make your life difficult. What vegans want? They want to live their life. They don’t want to cause harm to any animals.” ✌️🐾💚

#101 Keto Vegan Abroad? Nope! Just Rach, The Vegan!

Welcome back to The Keto Vegan! I’m Rach, and this week I’m spilling all the (plant-based) tea on my daughter’s hen do in Majorca—think nine women, one fabulously gay gent, and me trying to stay vegan AND keto in a land full of chips, cocktails and zero vegan protein. Spoiler alert: only one of those survived. Tune in for real talk on holiday indulgence, staying true to your ethics, and why free-poured Spanish margaritas might be my new summer fling.
Key Takeaways
Keto Goes on Holiday Too: It’s possible to try staying keto abroad, but when fresh bread and guac are all that’s on offer, don’t panic. One carb-heavy week won’t undo everything.
Vegan? Non-Negotiable: While keto can bend, vegan doesn’t break. Sticking to your ethics is easy when it’s not a ‘diet’ but a lifestyle.
Bread, guac, and hummus can get you through: There were dips. There was rye. No protein, but no starvation either.
Spain’s Cocktail Game Is Unpredictable: Mojito roulette is real. One friend’s drink is perfect, yours tastes like a Haribo smoothie.
Paella > Potatoes: If you’re going to dabble in carbs, choose the dish that doesn’t make you feel like a bag of bricks.
Being around meat-eaters was a challenge: But it made me appreciate how easy and supportive my life is back home.
Back Home, Back to Keto: Batch-cooked vegan chilli, red Thai curry and lots of water—getting back into ketosis is easier than you think.

#100 Your Money, Their Missiles: Boycotting Complicity in Gaza

Welcome back to The Keto Vegan, I’m Rachel, your host. Today marks our 100th show—and instead of our usual lighter fare, I’m turning the mic toward something deeply personal and urgent: the crisis in Gaza. I’ll guide you through how consumer choices—from hummus to makeup, tech to banking—can support or stop the suffering. Plus, we’ll unpack how our government plays into it and what steps you can take. Let’s use our voices and wallets for justice.
Key Takeaways
Consumer Power Is Real – Our spending choices and boycotts send a message. Even one action can spark change.
Know Your Labels – Brands like Sabra, SodaStream, Coca‑Cola, McDonald’s and Dead Sea skincare may fund or benefit from the occupation.
Tech & Finance Matter – Hewlett‑Packard, Barclays, AXA and others are implicated in enabling human rights violations through services or financing.
UK’s Role – The UK supplies vital F‑35 parts to Israel, facing criticism from Amnesty International and HRW, who argue this risks complicity in war crimes.
You Have a Voice – Write your MP, sign petitions, join peaceful protest and support organisations like Amnesty and HRW.
Hold Hope Close – Despite the darkness, there’s UK humanitarian aid flowing. We can amplify it by visualising and acting for peace.
Best Moments (verbatim)
“I’m going to talk about food to avoid… Redefine Meat… founded in 2018 by Ness Ziona, which is in Israel…”“PepsiCo acquired SodaStream in 2018… previously manufactured in an illegal Israeli settlement. It also has a documented history of racial discrimination against Palestinian workers.”“Human rights organisations have strongly criticised this stance of the UK providing these F‑35 components… Amnesty International explicitly stated… this continued supply places the United Kingdom at risk of complicity in genocide.”“If you write a letter to your MP start with your full name and your address so they can see that you are one of their constituents…”“Focus on love, focus on compassion, focus on kindness, on harmony, on peace… visualising peace in Gaza.”

#99 How EFT Tapping Can Stop You Eating When You're Not Hungry

Ever find yourself raiding the fridge five minutes after lunch, not because you're hungry, but because… emotions? In this episode of The Keto Vegan, I'm diving into EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), aka "tapping"—a simple, science-backed method that might just help us break up with mindless munching. Whether you're eating out of boredom, stress, or just habit, this episode is for you. Let's explore how tapping could help you reset that urge and reconnect with true hunger.

#98 Rewire, Reinforce, Repeat: Anchoring as Your Keto Vegan Superpower

Welcome back to The Keto Vegan! I’m Rach, your host—part psychology geek, part plant-based fat enthusiast—and today we’re diving into something a bit magical 🧠✨. It’s called anchoring, and it’s a brilliant little NLP trick that helps you lock in confidence, calm, or courage on demand—like carrying your own emotional support smoothie in your brain 🥬💪.
Before we start rewiring and reinforcing, a quick shout: if you love what you’re hearing, share the podcast, follow along on your fave app, and help me spread the keto vegan brain-hack gospel. Your support keeps the almond flour flowing 💚🌱.
 
Step By Step Process
1️⃣ Identify a difficult situation in which you’d like to feel more resourceful/confident/capable etc. 😩➡️💪2️⃣ Identify the resource you want in this situation ‘x’ (e.g. courage, confidence, calm, patience etc.) 🌟🧘‍♀️🔥3️⃣ Remember your best example of having experienced that state in your life (in an unrelated situation). If you don’t have one, think of someone else who does—real or fictional. 🧠🎬👑4️⃣ Think about that ‘x’—what else might it give you? 🌈💥5️⃣ Find a word or phrase that captures it for you—one that really evokes the feeling. 🗣️🧡6️⃣ With this memory and feeling in mind, ask yourself: would you breathe it in or out? 🌬️⬅️➡️7️⃣ Choose a unique physical gesture (e.g. thumb and finger squeeze) 🤏—something subtle you can do anywhere.8️⃣ Take a few breaths and get comfy 😌🛋️. Close your eyes to block out distractions 🙈.9️⃣ Access your chosen memory—step into it. See what you saw 👀, hear what you heard 👂, feel what you felt ❤️. Fully associate with it. If you chose a person, step into them too.🔟 When the feeling peaks 🎯, say your word, do your breath and your gesture—anchor it 🧷. Then open your eyes when you’re ready 👁️.1️⃣1️⃣ Break the state by saying your phone number aloud 📞💬.1️⃣2️⃣ Close your eyes and go back again. Your brilliant brain 🧠 will know exactly what to do.1️⃣3️⃣ Revisit the memory: see 👁️, hear 👂, feel ❤️. Let it peak again. Say your word, breathe, do the gesture. Then open your eyes. 🔁1️⃣4️⃣ Break the state again—this time, spot something green around you 💚🪴.1️⃣5️⃣ Repeat the whole anchoring process at least three times ⏱️🔁✅.
💡 Pro tip: Keep firing off that anchor as often as possible. Your brain loves patterns—so it’ll start resurrecting that powerful feeling when you need it most 🔄🧠⚡.

#97 Self-Love Is the Secret Sauce: Emotional Healing for the Keto Vegan Life

Today we’re exploring self‑love—why it’s foundational not just to wellness, but to your keto‑vegan lifestyle. In the last episode, I talked about emotional eating; in this one, I’m taking it deeper: if we don’t truly love ourselves, our self‑esteem wobbles, and we’re giving from an empty cup. Let’s journey into raising vibration, working with the unconscious mind, and using visualisations and meditations (plus a sprinkle of hypnotherapy insight) to build unconditional self‑worth.
✨ Key Takeaways
Self-love grounds you: A solid sense of self-esteem makes external triggers less impactful.
Unconscious mind works in safety mode: It holds onto past fears and patterns—even in self-worth—until gently rewired.
Raise your vibration daily: Use positive memories or future visualisations to lift your emotional state by small, consistent steps.
Intentions + gratitude = internal shift: Journaling three things you’re grateful for (or setting daily intentions) boosts self-appreciation and resilience.
Be kind to your unconscious mind: Don’t dig into past trauma unprepared—replace neural grooves of self‑judgment with gratitude, forgiveness, and self-compassion.
Protective shield & loving-kindness meditations: You can train your mind to cleanse negativity and send compassion—even to those challenging people in your life.
🎯 Best Moments
“If we don't love ourselves, we have nothing else to give to other people, we try, but we're flawed.”
“When we love ourselves completely, we're not going to judge ourselves at all.”
“What can I use that for? Rach, alright, well, how about just appreciation? And she started using it.”
“If you don't love yourself, how can you love anybody else? Because what we are, what we say, what we give out to others, is a direct mirror of what is inside us…”
“There is one absolute law and only one, and that is love.”
“We experience our thoughts about it… our unconscious mind is determining our life experience.”

#96 Eating Emotions: How to Stop Using Food to Numb Your Feelings

Welcome to another honest, heart-forward episode of The Keto Vegan! This time, I’m diving deep into the real reason so many of us slip—even when we’re ticking all the keto vegan boxes. You know the proteins, you’ve nailed intermittent fasting, your wee strips are showing dark red… and yet the cravings still creep in. Why? Because emotions, my loves. This one’s all about how we eat our feelings—and how we can stop.
In this episode, I share the mental hack that’s helping me beat those carb-obsessed urges, plus why it’s not just about willpower. I’ll walk you through the two-minute craving reset technique that literally reprogrammes your brain—and how to spot the emotional saboteurs behind your binges.
✨ Key Takeaways
It’s Not Lack of Knowledge, It’s Emotion: Most of us know what to eat—we fall down because we're eating to avoid emotions, not because we're hungry.
The Primitive Mind is in Charge: Your unconscious mind is like a six-year-old running your snack drawer. Learn to parent it, not obey it.
The Two-Minute Rule Works: When cravings hit, stop everything, move to a ‘safe space’ and set a two-minute timer. Feel the feelings instead.
Permission, Not Punishment: After your two minutes, you can eat the thing. But often, you won't want to anymore.
Loneliness is a Big Trigger: Many emotional eating patterns stem from loneliness—even when we pride ourselves on being strong and independent.
You Are Not Weak, You’re Human: Recognising and processing emotions builds real, lasting strength. Don’t be afraid to ask for help.
😂 Best Moments
“We know what to do. We know the food that we can eat and should eat if we want to lose weight.”
“When we crave food or when we overeat, we are avoiding something. What emotions are we avoiding now?”
“How happy are you? And I don’t mean laughing all the time, but that peaceful feeling, that content feeling, that loving-yourself feeling—where is that?”
“When we eat our emotions, what are we getting from food? It’s very complex.”
