At the height of the "Got Milk" campaign, Olympic silver medalist Dotsie Bausch found herself appalled at the assumption that dairy milk created successful athletes. She decided to do something about it. I sat down with the remarkable cyclist and advocate to hear her story of overcoming adversity, conquering anorexia, and finding solace and strength in cycling.

While her transition to a plant-based diet was initially fueled by ethical convictions, it ultimately led her on a quest for improved health and performance. She shares her path to found Switch4Good, a nonprofit organization she founded to promote plant-based eating and challenge the dairy industry's status quo. Plus, her advocacy for the Add Soy Act and its potential to provide healthier, non-dairy options in schools.

Dotsie's journey has always inspired me to challenge norms, embrace change, and live with purpose - even when you are going against the grain. I hope it brings some strength to you, too!
