Today, I am joined by Chef AJ! Vegan for over 40 years, Chef AJ is the Queen of Quick and Easy plant-based recipes. She’s the culinary wizard behind delicious dishes that are oil-free, refined sugar-free, and salt-free. As a chef, author, and host, Chef AJ is passionate about creating convenient and easy recipes that make healthy eating fun and incredibly tasty. 

I met Chef AJ the same place I met Dr. Alan Goldhamer, at Ethos Farm Days in September and, my husband and I were the lucky recipients of the desserts she made on stage. These desserts are no joke, if you are going to buy one cookbook, buy her newest, Sweet Indulgence. I’ll be sure to share the photos of the dessert with the post for this episode. Chef AJ is real, relatable, and so incredibly joyful, this interview was so much fun.

Today, I am joined by Mark Huberman, President of the National Health Association and Editor of Health Science magazine.  He  has adhered to a whole food, plant-based vegan diet since birth in 1951 and credits his excellent health to the pioneering vision of his parents, Max and Ruth Huberman, who had the foresight to recognize the profound benefits of this lifestyle long before most others.  His parents operated a legendary health food store in Boardman, Ohio for more than 33 years where they influenced countless individuals to change their diet and lifestyle and regain and preserve their health. For nearly all of Mark’s adult life, his greatest passion has been supporting the work of the National Health Association, the oldest organization in the Country advocating the benefits of a whole-food, plant-based diet and lifestyle, something it has been championing since its founding in 1948. After serving his community as an attorney for more than 30 years, Mark retired and moved his focus fully to the NHA. In partnership with is wife, Wanda, they have organized annual health conferences which have featured the leading voices of the whole-food, plant-based health movement, including Drs. Joel Fuhrman, Alan Goldhamer, Stephan Esser, Frank Sabatino, Neal Barnard and more.   

Hear Mark’s incredible journey as a life-time plant-based eater, how Victoria Moran’s documentary helped him make the connection and go vegan, the ways we can “all be a little bit better” and more..
