Episode 79: The coolest kitchen appliance and the story behind it all with Carolyn Chen
10/20/22 • 50 min
Carolyn Chen is an entrepreneur, innovative marketer, successful business owner, boutique winery proprietor, and first female President and CEO of NutraMilk worldwide.
Carolyn’s passion to help enrich the lives of others towards a healthy and reduced waste lifestyle has always been a part of her DNA. However, after her mother was diagnosed with the rare disease of Amyloidosis in 2016, it sparked a significant change in her views on food and a plant-based lifestyle. The more she engaged with nutritionists and plant-based pioneers, one thing became clear, food can heal.
In leading NutraMilk’s launch and initial grassroots efforts in brand awareness and distribution, the personal stories she encountered from many different communities shaped how the brand was developed and its presence now in industries such as fitness, health, food service, and hospitality. Carolyn has guided the course for NutraMilk’s evolution from a concept to an innovative, must-have high-end kitchen appliance. Carolyn develops, drives, and implements cohesive marketing strategies to increase brand awareness and sales while overseeing and managing multiple teams spanning across North America, South America, United Kingdom, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
In her downtime, Carolyn is often traveling the globe, winemaking, feeding her adrenaline through outdoor activities which include enjoying the thrills of whitewater rafting, or spending time with her family in Los Angeles, California.

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.
