Everyone loves a great comeback story and, as we head into the 4th of July holiday weekend here in the States, we can't think of any better way to celebrate than with the uplifting story of survival and triumph from one of USA's finest - Dotsie Bausch. 

Dotsie and her track cycling teammates won the Silver medal at the 2012 London games, which is amazing unto itself; however, when you hear Dotsie’s story of what it took to get there, you’ll be even more astonished.

For years, she battled a debilitating eating disorder which left her on the brink of losing her life. Her recovery is nothing short of remarkable and so is her NEW mission in life -- to save the lives of others as Executive Director and tireless advocate at Switch4Good - the non-profit organization and podcast she started to tackle the ridiculous notion that we need cow’s milk for peak health and performance. It was a bill of goods she was sold for years as an elite-level athlete. 

You’ll love hearing about her “underdog” triumph at the Olympics because it’s also how she is approaching her work now. She's most certainly an underdog going up against some powerful organizations out there, but we have no doubt she’ll stand on the podium once again with pride knowing that the power of the Silver medal is saving the lives of millions of children, animals, and our planet.
