Listen Later

Paige Parsons Roache's path to veganism and activism was sparked by a series of significant life events, including the tragic loss of her brother and her daughter's choice to embrace a vegan lifestyle. During her appearance on the NHA Health Science Podcast hosted by Dr. Frank Sabatino, Paige recounted her journey and expressed her dedication to fostering a compassionate and eco-friendly way of life. As the Communications Director of Unchained TV and co-founder of Plant-based in the Burbz, she has become a prominent figure in the vegan movement.

From Personal Loss to Advocacy

Paige's brother's tragic death due to mental health issues sparked her interest in understanding the impact of diet on mental well-being. This personal tragedy, coupled with her daughter's early adoption of veganism, led Paige to explore the connections between food, health, and compassion. Her journey was further catalyzed by watching the documentary Cowspiracy, which highlighted the environmental impact of animal agriculture. This experience inspired her to fully embrace a vegan lifestyle and to advocate for environmental sustainability.

Building a Vegan Media Presence

As the Communications Director of Unchained TV, Paige has played a pivotal role in producing and promoting content that supports veganism and animal rights. Her work includes the development of the Amazon Prime show "New Day New Chef," which showcases plant-based cooking and lifestyle. Paige also co-hosts "Plant-based in the Burbz," a show that aims to make vegan cooking accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Through these platforms, she emphasizes the importance of collaboration and communication in promoting a vegan lifestyle.

A Commitment to Compassion and Sustainability

Paige's activism extends beyond the media, as she is deeply involved in various community initiatives, including food banks and education programs. She is a strong advocate for the Plant-Based Treaty, which seeks to promote plant-based food systems to combat climate change and improve public health. Paige's commitment to a cruelty-free lifestyle is evident in her choices, from her wardrobe to her personal care products, all of which are vegan and eco-friendly.

The Power of Food and Mental Wellness

Paige discussed the profound impact that a plant-based diet has had on her mental health. She highlighted how eliminating animal products from her diet significantly reduced her experience of dark days, replacing them with a more balanced emotional state. This personal testimony underscores the broader benefits of a vegan lifestyle, not only for physical health but also for mental well-being.
