Kadee Acree and I worked together YEARS ago...and by years I mean decades! Twelve years ago, she was inspired to give plant-based eating a try. In fact, when she first made the switch, she went RAW! After experiencing amazing health benefits from a raw vegan diet, her husband decided he wanted to give the plant-based thing a try. Eventually they settled on a predominantly whole foods, plant based diet, and they've never felt better. Her running--and recovery--game is greatly improved thanks to her plant-based diet, and I have to say, while she was beautiful when we worked together 26 years ago, she looks amazing now...vibrant, full of energy, and loving her broccoli!
Kadee mentions a few resources that have been helpful to her:

"Finding Ultra" by Rich Roll. This book helped Kadee use heart-rate training to adjust to higher altitude running upon her move to Bend, Oregon:

"Fiber Fueled" by Dr. Will Bulsiewicz. I have heard several interviews with Dr. Will, and I think this book may be the next one to grace my Amazon cart. It's interesting, one of the most common--if not THE most common--question vegans are asked is, "where do you get your protein?" But nobody ever bothers to ask anyone, "where do you get your fiber?" Meanwhile, protein deficiency is almost unheard of in the United States, but a whopping 95% of Americans are not getting enough fiber.

"Peas and Thank You" by Sarah Matheny. Years ago--before I went plant based--a friend of mine gave me this cookbook. It has wonderful photos of the foods and some fun stories from the author, a vegan mom in an omnivore world.

The Game Changers: The documentary that started it all for me! Think you need meat and animal products to build muscle, and find optimal health and strength? Think again! While thoroughly entertaining, this documentary--presented by James Cameron, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jackie Chan, Lewis Hamilton, Novak Djokovic and Chris Paul--was a major eye opener for me!

It's not just a coincidence that we have the same last name! Dr. DeOna Bridgeman is my sister-in-law, and the person who introduced me to plant-based eating. So you could say that without her, there would be no Kalevangelist! In this episode we walk through how she became interested in -- and jumped right into -- plant based eating, how she started "kalevangelizing" to her patients, and the health benefits she and her patients have experienced by cutting animal products out of their diets. We cover heart disease, diabetes, fish oil, documentaries, and more.

Married for over 50 years, Pat and Ruth Clifford are a delight. Their mutual respect, love, and fun-loving ways come through in this conversation. Years ago, Pat was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. Yet it was what his doctor said to him after the diagnosis that changed the course of Pat's life and health. He said, "You're diabetic, but you don't have to be." He inspired Pat to remove all animal products from his diet and incorporate plentiful whole foods onto his plate. Pat and Ruth took on the challenge, and as a result, Pat has never had to take insulin, nor is he on any diabetes medication.

As a teenager, Lynn Byerley was diagnosed as a Type 1 Diabetic. While diabetes management in and of itself is a challenge, Lynn found herself struggling to find a way to just feel good over the years. As she will share in this interview, at just 50 years of age she didn’t think she’d make it to see 60. But now, over a decade later, she’s feeling better than she has in decades, and you can tell just by the way she sounds that she has boatloads of energy and feels terrific. I hope you enjoy listening to our chat.
Lynn and I both shared how much we enjoy the "walking workouts" by Rick Buehler. You can find them on YouTube (free!) and you will love his energy...and his accent! He has lots of videos available, but here is a sample:
5000 Steps in 36 Minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OINA5_UtM0
3000 Steps in 23 Minutes / Disco funk 70s 80s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgzdDZ_Tz5g
Lynn also mentioned that she has found a new fitness channel she enjoys, with Brian Syuki. He has loads and loads of videos; here are some examples:

After a breast-cancer diagnosis, Robin Ewing wanted to take charge of her life...and her health. When a fellow breast-cancer survivor suggested she watch the documentaries What the Health and Forks Over Knives, Robin did so in an effort to avoid additional prescription medications. With her oncologist's blessing, she adopted a plant-based diet and was quickly joined by her family. Today, they are all loving the impact their switch has had on their diet, their health, and the way they view the world.
