Complete Show Notes and Links Here: https://www.chrisbeatcancer.com/RipEsselstyn Rip Esselstyn was a professional plant-based triathlete for 10 years before becoming a firefighter in Austin, Texas. During that time, Rip helped his entire firehouse (Engine 2) convert to a plant-based diet, helping his fellow firemen lose weight and reverse various chronic diseases. In 2009, as a result of that experience, he wrote a massive bestseller called The Engine 2 Diet and created the global Plant-Strong movement. Since then he has authored multiple bestsellers including: Plant-Strong, The Engine 2 Seven-Day Rescue Diet, and The Engine 2 Cookbook. Rip was an executive producer for the documentary film The Game Changers and also hosts the Plant-Strong Podcast. And Rip recently became a world record holder in the 200-meter backstroke in his age group, 55-59!
