Episode 80: Be A Plant Based Woman Warrior with Ann Crile Esselstyn and Jane Esselstyn, R.N.

Ann Crile Esselstyn has been called "the Julia Child of plant-based-cooking." She was an award-winning English teacher for twenty-seven years, all while juggling raising four children, coaching, and figuring out how to cook delicious and appealing plant-based, oil-free food (pre-internet!). Ann's singular focus is on creating recipes to prevent and reverse heart disease, and she collaborates with her husband, Dr. Caldwell B Esselstyn Jr., in counseling patients. Ann and her daughter, Jane, also feature heart-healthy recipes on their YouTube channel. Ann graduated from Smith College and received a master's in education from Wheelock College. She lives in Cleveland, Ohio, next door to Jane. Jane Esselstyn, R.N., is a fresh, charismatic voice in the plant-based movement. She brings her passion, energy, and can-do attitude to her presentations, cooking demonstrations, and cookbooks. As well as being a nurse, researcher, middle school sex ed teacher, and mother of three, Jane hosts a popular YouTube channel with her spitfire mother, Ann Crile Esselstyn. Jane created the recipes for the #1 New York Times bestseller Plant-Strong and The Engine 2 Seven-Day Rescue Diet. She is the coauthor of The Engine 2 Seven-Day Rescue Diet with her brother, Rip Esselstyn and of The Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease Cookbook with Ann, who is her next-door neighbor in Cleveland, Ohio.Show notesBe A Plant-Based Woman Warrior: Live Fierce, Stay Bold, Eat DeliciousWhat we talked about:7:20- Introduction to Jane and her journey to plant based living9:40- Being an example of a plant based eater15:15- Ann’s transition to plant based eating19:50- Savory oats23:40- Gardening28:05- Cuva35:50- Their favorite health success stories39:10- Favorite exercise modalitiesConnect with Stacey:Stacey on InstagramStacey’s WebsiteJoin The Herban Farmacy Facebook GroupShop BeautycounterSandyBoy Productions Shows:Why is Everyone Yelling?The Illuminate PodcastI’ll Have Another with Lindsey HeinThe Ready to Run PodcastSponsors:Green Growers Organic Elderberry Syrup & Elderberry KitsUse code "Holistic" for 20% off and free shippingBecoming Whole - a masterclass for women ready to take control of their holistic wellness
