My goals are to raise awareness about how you have an impact on the environment, to encourage involvement in social causes, and making educated choices about your health.
What do you get when a top triathlete becomes a champion for plant-based living? In this episode of 'Live Natural Live Well', Heather Lounsbury sits down with Rip Esselstyn, the man behind the Engine 2 Diet. Rip's journey is nothing short of inspiring. Born in New York and raised in Ohio, he was a star swimmer at the University of Texas before becoming one of the world's leading triathletes.
But it was his time as a firefighter that truly sparked his passion for a plant-based diet. When a fellow firefighter's health was in jeopardy, Rip introduced the whole-food, plant-based diet to his firehouse, leading to remarkable health improvements and the creation of his bestselling book, 'The Engine 2 Diet'. Now, as a partner with Whole Foods Market, Rip spreads the message of plant-strong living far and wide.
This episode dives into the myths surrounding plant-based eating, the benefits of a plant-strong lifestyle, and how the Seven-Day Rescue Challenge can kickstart your health journey. Rip also shares stories of transformation, like that of Joseph Alexander, who saw incredible health changes after adopting the diet. Heather and Rip discuss the importance of making choices that align with your values, benefiting both your health and the environment.
They wrap up with insights from 'The Engine 2 Cookbook', packed with tasty, healthy recipes. If you're curious about plant-based living or looking for practical tips to improve your diet, this episode is a must-listen.
