Every day, I get to live out my values and I have pretty basic values.

Kindness, mercy, you know, being a good steward of the planet.

And so I get to every day that I eat this way, I get to sort of practice what internally makes me feel good.

So there's a contentiveness that I have that I never experienced before.

Season three of the Plant Strong podcast explores those Galileo moments where you seek to understand the real truth around your health and dare to see the world through a different lens.

This season we honor those courageous seekers who are paving the way for you and me.

So grab your telescope, point it towards your future and let's get Plant Strong together.

Welcome to another episode of the Plant Strong podcast. I'm your host, Rip Eselston.

If there's one person who has put a face on the vegan lifestyle, it would have to be today's guest, Kathy Fruston.

Kathy has written nine books, including the popular veganist, the lean and clean protein among many of them.

And she's been an outspoken plant-based proponent in the mainstream media for many years, including popular appearances on the iconic Oprah show, Ellen Goodmourney America, and the view just to name a few.

Her new book written with last week's guest, Gene Stone, is called,

Severnity Two Reasons to Be Vegan.

And we continue this conversation in her usual approachable and attainable way.

And that's what I love about Kathy. Her philosophy is progress over perfection because let's face it.

No one is perfect and we're all on a journey towards making ourselves better humans.

You'll hear this sentiment in spades when she shares her own moment of personal truth and evolution.

And if any of you have ever had a pet, I think you'll be able to relate.

If you haven't met Kathy before, I know you'll respect her honesty and passion.

Severnity Two Reasons is the extension of the work that she's been doing for years and judging by her enthusiasm and her inner and outer beauty.

She won't be stopping anytime soon. Welcome Kathy Preston.

Kathy Preston, it is so good to see you. It's been a couple of years.
