About Diana Esteban

Diana Esteban is a Madrileño, born and raised in the Spanish capital. A vegan for nearly a decade, she studied tourism and worked as a guide when she was younger.

She realized it was a mistake and when she turned 40, she knew it was her last chance to get back into what she really loved.

Madrid Vegan Travels was born. Already a vegan and a traveler, she saw firsthand how difficult it could be to find vegan food while traveling. So, she decided to change that. Diana operates numerous tours through Madrid, all with a focus on vegan food and experiencing the vibrant city. From walking food tours to cooking classes, ethical shopping tours, and even an organized tour of the stunning Prado Museum, she makes it easy to travel as a vegan in Madrid.

On his journey, the character Peter meets intriguing characters. Each of these have their own individual story that they share and all are based on people that Alan knew or heard about. We will also learn about Alan's online course titled Plant Based Heroes. We will learn about his yoga, his Tango, how he enjoys meditation.

For years, Dr. Suzannah Bozzone was prescribing medicine which she herself would not have taken. She grew frustrated by the seemingly incurable state of our most prevalent, deadly and costly chronic diseases. Then she found Lifestyle Medicine, which is not only strongly evidence-based, but resonated with her desire to treat herself, her family and her patients more in accordance with nature’s guidance and, most importantly, addressing diseases from their root causes, rather than covering up symptoms. Best of all, this method empowers patients, rather than dictating dependence on our pharmaceutically-driven medical system.Dr. Bozzone completed training as a yoga teacher in 2009. In 2017, she became a diplomate of the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine. In this episode, Dr. Bozzone shares with us her path towards discovering lifestyle medicine. We learn about her community-based programs which are focused on diet, exercise, sleep, emotional health and stress management to achieve optimal health. She is the co-founder of True Health Journey. The next Plant Based Nutrition Kickstart 101 begins as this episode is being released, March 3. This is a virtual 8 sessions series. Dr. Bozzone tells us about the kickstart program and what it entails. It includes the foundations of balanced plant based nutrition, recipes, the science and comparison to other common diet beliefs, the how to, and plenty of fun discussion with herself and her business partner certified health coach and registered nurse Christine Smith.

Walk with a Doc was started in 2005 by Dr. David Sabgir, a cardiologist in Columbus, Ohio. Frustrated with his inability to affect behavior change in the clinical setting, Dr. Sabgir invited his patients to go for a walk with him at a local park on a spring Saturday morning. To his surprise, over 100 people showed up, energized and ready to move.Since that first event in 2005, Walk with a Doc has grown as a grassroots effort with a model based on sustainability and simplicity. A doctor gives a brief presentation on a health topic and then leads participants on a walk at their own pace.

In the meantime, we formed about 5 teams to encourage friends from all over the country to be active in their environment. If you were in the Grand Canyon Adventure, please send us an email and tell us about your experience. What sort of work outs did you do?In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Sabgir to hear his story of how he founded Walk With A Doc. We will talk about the health benefits of walking regularly. Since Dr. Sabgir is a cardiologist we asked questions that some of you submitted on topics such as stents, statins, HDL, LDL, and finally Dr. Sabgir also offers us his acronym with additional tips to keep our hearts healthy.You can help support the organization by visiting their website and purchasing gear at walkwithadoc.orgVisit Our Podcast Website: https://www.plantbaseddfwpodcast.com/➤iTunes: http://bit.ly/PBDFWiTunes➤SoundCloud: http://bit.ly/PBDFWSoundCloud➤iHeart Radio: http://bit.ly/PBDFWiHeartradioAbout Plant-Based DFW Podcast:Our podcast is recorded in Dallas, Texas and features guests from all over the world.
