#222: Become a Plant-Based Woman Warrior with Jane and Ann Esselstyn
“[This book] is a tip of the hat to my mom, who is a plant-based woman warrior and has been for almost four decades. The first line of the book is that my mom is my daily dose of "hell yeah"; I want to be like her. She's a pistol full of energy.” –Jane Esselstyn
In this fun episode, I chat with plant-based legends Jane and Ann Esselstyn about their latest cookbook: Be a Plant-Based Woman Warrior: Live Fierce, Stay Bold, Eat Delicious, and how Ann managed to convince her entire family of 20 to adopt a plant-based diet.

More about my honored guests:
The Esselstyn family is three generations plant-based strong. Encouraged to create recipes without dairy and meat when her husband’s research pointed to the impact of diet on reversing disease, Ann Esselstyn began feeding her family creative, plant-based meals more than thirty years ago. She and her daughter, Jane Esselstyn, are bolts of energy from the same strike of lightning and have become fierce, big-spirited advocates for a plant-based lifestyle, reaching hundreds of thousands of fans through their books and their popular YouTube channel.
