Summary
Welcome back to part two of our conversation with the remarkable and influential plant-powered couple, Jon and Tracey Stewart.
If you haven't already, be sure to go back and listen to Episode Two for the first half of this conversation where they share stories of their plant-based journey and recount the serendipitous story of how they met.
In today's extended interview, we pick up the conversation from Hockhockson Farm Foundation, their animal sanctuary in New Jersey dedicated to promoting healthy, sustainable, and kind living.
Jon and Tracey talk about how they are finding new foods to eat each day, and how they are reaping the benefits of increasing their greens and avoiding junk food. Rip even reveals the results of their recent blood tests for all to hear!
As you'll hear, the Stewarts are two of the most compassionate people who work every day with their influential platforms and voices to push the plant-strong conversation into the mainstream, even when it's politically inconvenient.
So, in Season Two where we are celebrating heroes, we shine the spotlight, once again, on these two who are setting such an example for everyone to follow.

| 1:47.4 | immersion, like I learned techniques that I didn't know, so I was able to really make things |
| 1:52.2 | more tasty. Yeah, so you're cooking more now? Yeah, a lot more. And enjoying it? Yes. Yeah. |
