Rip Esselstyn sits down with John Joseph—author, musician, and former frontman of the iconic hardcore punk band Cro-Mags—to explore a story of survival that defies belief.John's journey takes us far below rock bottom: addiction to crack cocaine, pills, and alcohol; a life of crime on the streets of New York; time spent in foster care and juvenile detention; and the devastating loss of loved ones to violence and substance abuse. But somehow, against all odds, John fought his way back—and now lives a life centered on service, discipline, and purpose.Today, he's a sober, plant-based IRONMAN triathlete, motivational speaker, and the author of the powerful new book Destroying Monsters. John shares how the straight edge punk rock scene and the Hare Krishna movement helped transform his life, and how Destroying Monsters offers real tools for those battling their own demons.He discusses:His descent into addiction and the dark underworld of crimeHow punk, spirituality, and service saved his lifeThe power of discipline and Positive Mental Attitude (PMA)How his plant-based lifestyle fuels his endurance trainingWhy Destroying Monsters is more than a memoir—it's a guide to transformationWhether you're facing your own struggles or simply need a dose of no-holds-barred inspiration, this conversation will light a fire under you.Episode WebpageWatch the Episode on YouTubeSPECIAL Food Promo for Podcast Listeners Only!Use code: podcast10 to receive 10% off food orders at plantstrong.com Upcoming Events:Join us for our 2025 Plantstrong Retreat in Black Mountain, NC - Nov 9-14, 2025: https://plantstrong.com/pages/black-mountain-retreat Let Us Help Your PLANTSTRONG JourneyUse Code: KALE20 for $20 off Annual Subscription at https://home.mealplanner.plantstrong.com/ COMPLEMENT: Use code PLANTSTRONG for 30% off at https://lovecomplement.com/pages/plantstrong-special-offer Leave Us a Voicemail QuestionLeave us a voicemail: https://www.speakpipe.com/plantstrong Follow PLANTSTRONG and Rip Esselstynhttps://plantstrongfoods.com/ https://www.facebook.com/GoPlantstrong https://www.instagram.com/goplantstrong/https://www.instagram.com/ripesselstyn/ Follow the PLANTSTRONG Podcast and Give the Show a 5-star RatingApple PodcastsSpotify

Beth Motley, MD grew up an athlete and always had an interest in nutrition. Once she went into medical school, however, she realized that good nutrition is about way more than just athletic performance. It's about longevity, disease prevention, and disease reversal. It's about human health. This inspired her to train under the greats like Dr. John McDougall, Dr. Ron Weiss, Dr. Neal Barnard, Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn and pursue family and lifestyle medicine as a career. What a resume of training, right?Today, Dr. Motley and Rip Esselstyn dive into the importance of meeting patients where they are in their journeys and focusing on small “atomic habits” to create lasting change. They also chat about the perks of a plant-based diet for cancer prevention and managing diabetes with personalized approaches, emphasizing the power of patient education and understanding the science behind dietary choices to effectively reverse insulin resistance.

In 2009, John Mackey, the then-CEO of Whole Foods Market, gave Rip Esselstyn the shot of a lifetime to showcase Engine 2 products and tour around Whole Foods Market stores as a healthy eating ambassador extolling the virtues of a whole foods, plant-based diet. This opportunity and vision truly put PLANTSTRONG on the trajectory that exists today and has allowed Rip to live out his life's purpose. Today, Rip speaks with John about his new book, The Whole Story - Adventures in Love, Life and Capitalism. Mackey describes it as a gift to past, present, and future employees of Whole Foods. It's also a gift to entrepreneurs and dreamers who dare to envision something unconventional in a conventional-minded world. John may be one of the most successful CEOs in business, but he's also a philosopher, thinker, and teacher. Mackey vulnerably shares his ideas around competition, authenticity, leadership, and overcoming obstacles in business and life. He delves into his difficult family dynamics, the importance of love, community, and acceptance, and his experience with psychedelics and spiritual awakenings. He also shares his experiences with “play” - something we all need to embrace a little more of in this life. It's so rare to get such an authentic glimpse into the mind and heart of a CEO, but John Mackey graciously opens his heart and his playbook for all to see. The Whole Story - Adventures in Love, Life and Capitalism is out now wherever books are sold.Episode WebpageWatch the Episode on YouTubeUpcoming Events:Register for Plant-Stock August 16th-18th, 2024: https://liveplantstrong.com/ Sedona Retreat - October 8th-13th, 2024 https://plantstrongfoods.com/pages/2024-sedona-retreat COMPLEMENT: Use code PLANTSTRONG for 30% off at https://lovecomplement.com/pages/plantstrong-special-offer Leave Us a Voicemail QuestionLeave us a voicemail: https://www.speakpipe.com/plantstrong Follow PLANTSTRONG and Rip Esselstynhttps://plantstrongfoods.com/ https://www.facebook.com/GoPlantstrong https://www.instagram.com/goplantstrong/https://www.instagram.com/ripesselstyn/ Let Us Help Your PLANTSTRONG JourneyUse Code: KALE20 for $20 off Annual Subscription at https://home.mealplanner.plantstrong.com/ https://myplantstrong.com/b/trailblazer Follow the PLANTSTRONG Podcast and Give the Show a 5-star RatingApple PodcastsSpotifyTheme Music for Episodehttps://app.soundstripe.com/songs/10845

The opposite is actually true (and way more sustainable).So don't be caught up by the glitz and glitter of the big change.

In this episode of the PLANTSTRONG Podcast, Rip Esselstyn speaks with Dr. Chris Miller, a former emergency room physician who shares her journey with autoimmune disease and her commitment to a whole food plant-based diet.Imagine being a young and rising emergency room physician when you start to notice alarming changes in your own body- including chest pains and stiff, painful joints. At the age of 36, Dr. Chris Miller started experiencing these and other symptoms and her subsequent bloodwork lit up with many autoimmune markers, including systemic lupus. Dr. Miller discusses the challenges she faced and why some individuals may not experience immediate improvement on a plant-based diet. She emphasizes the importance of individualizing the diet and eliminating pro-inflammatory foods. Dr. Miller also highlights the role of stress management, mind-body work, and incorporating micronutrient-rich foods like leafy greens and sprouts. She provides insights into gut health and the importance of addressing triggers and making necessary changes to heal the gut.As challenging and frustrating as it was, Dr. Miller played the long game with her health.

Imagine someone telling you that they would only give your diet a "B-" when you've been eating whole foods, plant-based for over 35 years?! Well, that was the average grade Rip Esselstyn's diet received from today's guest, Dr. Doug Graham. Doug is most known for developing and authoring the 80-10-10 Diet Book; which is when 80% of your calories come from carbohydrates in the form of raw fruits and vegetables, 10% comes from plant protein, and the last 10% comes from fat. Not only does he live this way, but he actually wrote the book about it back in 2006. No doubt, Doug has unconventional opinions and data on topics like whole grains, beans, oats, protein, and even mono-eating, but it was wildly educational and eye-opening. You'll learn about the history of why we eat what we do, why cooked food may not be all it's cracked up to be, and how you can level up your own plate each day.   Episode Highlights 10:30 What exactly is 80-10-10? 13:30 isn't that many carbs bad for you? Don't we need more protein? 22:30 Doug's Biggest Fans in the plant-based world 23:30 What does he love so much about raw fruit, and why is it so important? 26:05 So THAT's why they call it a “sweet tooth!” 29:00 What are examples of Doug's breakfast and lunch? 33:30 The case for eating mono-meals 36:25 Why isn't he a fan of cooked foods, including beans, and potatoes? 37:45 What do the five GENS have to do with our longevity and health? (Think: CarcinoGENic) 45:15 Are all these GENS being created in beans and potatoes as well? 47:30 “Don't Eat the Paste.” What in the world is he talking about? 50:10 What did Dr. Nathan Pritikin get wrong? 53:00 Rip gets a B- on his diet?? Are you serious? 57:10 How does he feel about frozen fruit? 57:50 This sounds freaking expensive  1:03:30 Is he a fan of drinking water?  1:04:35 How does he recommend people make this transition? 1:06:30 What's his take on fiber?  1:12:15 Protein - Why does more not necessarily mean better? 1:23:00 what age should you start 80-10-10?   Episode Resources Episode Webpage Watch the Episode on YouTube Doug Graham's Website: https://foodnsport.com  Join our PLANTSTRONG Sedona Retreat - October 9-14, 2023 To stock up on the best-tasting, most convenient, 100% PLANTSTRONG foods, including our cereals, granolas, pizza kits, broths and soups, check out all of our PLANTSTRONG products HERE.

New York Times bestselling author and PLANTSTRONG founder, Rip Esselstyn, is joined by a very special guest, his father, Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., discussing the nine ways he has documented reversal of cardiovascular disease over the last 40 years. When Dr. Esselstyn started his work at the Cleveland Clinic in the early 80s, he was the chairman of the breast cancer task force. In his work, he encountered multiple cultures where breast cancer was virtually non-existent and the same was true for cardiovascular disease.  Why was the incidence of cancer and cardiovascular disease so prevalent in the U.S. and other Western cultures, but not so in others?  Essy set out to prove that cardiovascular disease COULD be reversed with a whole food, plant-based diet, but first he had to find compliant patients and that's where the conversation starts today. Once he had amassed compliant patients he did, in fact, prove reversal of heart disease in nine different measures, including: Oh, and stick around to the end when he answers audience questions ranging from caffeine, salt, and alcohol, to diabetes, saturated fats, and gum disease.
   Episode Highlights 10:10 Where does cardiovascular disease begin? 11:00 Role of nitric oxide 13:00 Is it ever too late to bring endothelial cells back to life? 14:30 What are the foods you should and shouldn't eat to protect endothelial cells 16:00 Benefits of chewing your greens six times daily 21:20 Top Greens to Consume (i.e. Essy's Rap!) 39:45 Essy Answers Your Questions 40:30 Will this also help with type 2 Diabetes? 41:05 Why are my triglycerides so high when I'm compliant? 42:00 Is one drink of beer or wine ok with dinner? 42:35 Are you against statin drugs? 44:50 Can old plaque be reversed? 46:50 Are plant-based milks ok? 48:50 Why is the totality of sodium intake important? 49:50 What are your recommendations on B-12? 50:53 Is there a link between gum disease and heart disease? 51:11 What are your thoughts on red rice yeast extract in place of statins? 51:25 What's more toxic - salt or sugar? 55:50 How can avocados damage endothelial cells?
