Raising GenV: Vegan Parenting for a Kinder Tomorrow with Naomi Hallum

What if the simplest act—choosing what we put on our plates—had the power to change the world and create a kinder, healthier future for all of us? Welcome to another episode of Health, Happiness & Planet!I’m your host, Juan, and today we’re diving into a conversation that challenges how we think about food, parenting, and the power of everyday choices.

Joining us is Naomi Hallum, CEO of Generation Vegan—or GenV—a global nonprofit supporting plant-based living for the good of our health, our environment, and the animals we share this planet with. She’s also the voice behind Raising GenV, a podcast that explores what it means to raise compassionate kids in a world that doesn’t always align with those values.

Naomi is no stranger to pushing boundaries. She’s made headlines with her bold offers—£1,000,000 to the UK Prime Minister and $1 million to Barack Obama and other prominent leaders—to adopt a vegan diet for a month. Through these initiatives, Naomi inspires people worldwide to rethinktheir relationship with food.

Beyond her activism, she’s a mom raising her child on a plant-based diet, showing that true compassion begins at home.

Whether you're a parent, a curious listener, or someone exploring the vegan topic, if you care about the future of our planet and all its inhabitants, this episode offers insights, inspiration, and a whole lot of heart.

Don’t miss this inspiring conversation with Naomi Hallum. Let’s explore how our everyday choices can shape a brighter future for all.
