“My mom is in her late 80’s and she is vivacious as ever, she’s on no lifestyle medications. She’s on runs, in the garden, on 5 mile walks. Trying to keep up with her is exhausting”
On this week’s episode of the Eat Green Make Green Podcast I sit down with the inspiring Ann and Jane Esselstyn. Ann and Jane are mother-daughter Authors, YouTubers, and plant-based lifestyle experts. They are the wife and daughter on Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn who, aside from Dr. Dean Ornish, was the first doctor to clinically show that you can reverse heart disease with a whole food plant-based diet. We talk about why the whole family switched to plant-based while Caldwell was doing his research many years ago, the challenges of doing so as a family, what it means to Be A Plant-Based Woman Warrior, how a plant-based diet can free you from body anxiety and diet culture, their take on the concerns around protein, soy, and iron, what a typical day of eating looks like for them, and their take on coffee and alcohol.
