#55 Redefining Strength: Kate Galli on Integrity, Passion, and Veganism

Welcome to another episode of The Keto Vegan Podcast! I'm your host, Rachel, and today we have an incredibly inspiring guest, Kate Galli. Kate is not only a dedicated personal trainer but also a passionate vegan health coach. Her journey to veganism is both compelling and enlightening, and I'm thrilled to share her story with you.

Kate's transition to veganism has been a transformative journey. Starting as a vegetarian at 16, she spent years gradually moving towards a fully vegan lifestyle. For the past eight and a half years, Kate has embraced veganism wholeheartedly. This journey was profoundly influenced by her mother and Kate's unwavering love for animals, which began when she was a typical little girl who adored animals but, paradoxically, also ate them.

A pivotal moment for Kate was when a friend pointed out, "If I eat an animal, that animal needs to die!" This simple yet powerful statement sparked a deep reflection in her. Kate realized she had been misled by marketing propaganda, which portrayed a false narrative of happy farm animals. She recalls with shame how she once consumed up to 21 free-range organic egg whites a day, believing it was a humane choice.

The turning point came when Kate watched the documentary "Cowspiracy." It was then she understood that if she was vegetarian for the animals, she had to be vegan for the animals. Despite her fears of losing the muscular physique she had sculpted over two decades, Kate chose to prioritize her integrity and the well-being of animals over her vanity. And spoiler alert—only good things happened!

Throughout her journey, Kate's core emotional states of freedom, integrity, and passion have driven her. As a personal trainer, she emphasizes the importance of clarity in one's goals and the intense emotional connection to the "why" behind those goals. Kate's story is a testament to the power of aligning one's actions with their deepest values and the profound positive impact it can have.

Join us as we dive deeper into Kate Galli's inspiring journey to veganism, her dedication to animal rights, and her passion for helping others achieve their health and fitness goals through a compassionate lifestyle. This is an episode you won't want to miss!

Best Moments

• “I was that typical little girl that loved animals and ate animals”
• When Kate was 16 a friend said to her: “If I eat an animal that animal needs to die!”
• “I’d been lied to. I believed the marketing propaganda ‘nothing to see here, our cows are happy, our chickens are happy’. I bought free range organic eggs, I’m ashamed to say I ate up to 21 free range organic egg whites a day!”
• “The documentary was Cowspiracy, I had no choice! I realised if I was vegetarian for the animals I must be vegan for the animals.”
• I was fearful, I thought this body I’d sculpted over two decades … I thought I’m going to lose muscle, I’m going to gain fat, I’m going to get all weak. But it’s about more than my vanity, so I became vegan. Spoiler it’s only good stuff that happens”
• The personal trainer in me always goes back to getting really clear on what your goal is, and the why of your goal, and the huge emotional intensity attached to that ‘why’.
