Hey, gang, it's Chris, and today I'm interviewing Chef AJ.

Many of you know who Chef AJ is.

If you don't, well, you're about to find out.

She has been a plant-based eater for 46 years, very long time.

And she was not always healthy.

She was what we call a junk food vegan for some part of that time of her life

and eventually figured out what she needed to do to optimize her health and changed what she

was eating and lost a ton of weight. And since then, she's helped countless people lose weight,

get down to a healthy body weight and eat a whole food plant-based diet. And so, yeah,

she's just a wealth of information and inspiration. And we've known each other, I guess,

I mean, I don't know when we first met, but it's been some years for sure.

And yeah, I just think she's terrific.

And so, AJ, thanks for taking the time.

Thank you, Chris.

Yeah, you know, it's funny.

I've been vegan longer than you've been alive, if you can believe that.

Vegan longer.

You know, you didn't have to admit that on camera but the thing is is it wasn't always

healthy as a matter of fact this this july first july 6 i'll be celebrating 20 years basically

being a healthy vegan unprocessed off of sugar off of processed food and i don't know if you know

this about my story chris i never had cancer but I was diagnosed with what they called pre-cancer.

So I was bleeding and I had a colonoscopy and they said that I had pre-cancerous polyps.
