The Plant Centered and Thriving Podcast

There are political and economic reasons the benefits of a plant-based diet are being suppressed from the public. PlantPure Nation founder, Nelson Campbell, explains why.

"When we are living in community, we become more open to one another. That’s the power of connection."

On the heels of writing and directing the 2015 documentary film "PlantPure Nation", Nelson Campbell founded PlantPure Communities (PPC) in early 2016.  Released in theaters in over 100 cities, the "PlantPure Nation" film (now on Amazon Prime) highlights the dramatic healing power of a plant-based diet and examines the political and economic factors that have suppressed information about these healing benefits, while making connections to public policy, medical practice, food deserts, and farming.

As founder of PPC, Nelson continues to drive the strategic direction of the organization. PPC supports an international network of local support and advocacy groups called “Pods,” now involving more than 200,000 people, and is launching a grassroots and media-driven strategy to engage this network in bringing the plant-based nutrition message into local communities across the US. This strategy will be kicked off with the release of a sequel to PlantPure Nation called "From Food to Freedom", which Nelson wrote and directed.

Katie and I were lucky enough to preview a viewing of this sequel and it was CAPTIVATING! Nelson and I discuss the impact of these two documentaries, the importance of connection within the plant-based community and what lies ahead for himself and his team.
