Rich Roll made a decision at age 40 to dedicate his diet to plants and his body to purposeful action after years of struggling with drugs, alcohol, and unhealthy living. Now he's a vegan ultra-endurance athlete and full-time wellness and plant-based nutrition advocate. Rich is also the host of the wildly popular Rich Roll Podcast and author of several books. His latest offering is Voicing Change: Inspiration & Timeless Wisdom from the Rich Roll Podcast.
What you'll learn from this episode:
Why meateaters (like me) and vegans (like Rich) should always respectfully welcome the opportunity to hear what "the other side" has to say.
What led to Rich's decision to follow a plant-based diet, and how has his approach to it changed over time?
Why Rich believes intermittent fasting has been a powerful tool in supporting his own well-being, but it may not benefit everyone.
Why you don't have to be young to rethink and reforge your own fitness -- Rich was 40 when he began to course correct a life of bad health choices to join the ranks of the world's fittest.
What was the catalyst that turned Rich's life around when he was spiraling into a dark place?
And so much more!
