Today, I am joined by long-time vegan Tim Barford of VegFest UK and new venture, Why Go Vegan. 

From his bio: Tim was born in the 60's in the UK, conceived the same day as Ringo Starr joined the Beatles, brought up on impeccable musical tastes & at 6 years old 50 miles downwind of Woodstock, he was born to rock n roll. Living in Greece as a child in the early 70's, Tim forged a long-standing bond with what he calls a true friend and trusted & revered companion through life - hummus of course. 

One of the UK’s most dynamic voices in the vegan movement, Tim has spent decades igniting change and inspiring action. You don't want to miss this!

I was lucky enough to meet Dr. Goldhamer at Farm Days at Ethos Health in September and I was delighted when he agreed to join me here on the podcast. I really enjoy him and his approach, he’s honest and forthright, and I find him incredibly inspiring.

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..
