If you're a veteran of the plant-based movement, you've most likely seen the acclaimed documentary Forks Over Knives, of which Rip plays an integral role. Rip is the son of legendary surgeon and luminary of the plant-based medical field, Caldwell Esselstyn. Rip has a background in elite triathlon, and was an All-American swimmer at UT Austin, and then shifting into the professional triathlon ranks, all while fueling himself on a whole food, plant-based diet. He then inspired his firefighting brothers to overhaul their diet to get healthier, which catalyzed the writing of his first book, The Engine 2 Diet. He has since partnered with Whole Foods on an exclusive line of healthy, plant-based products like hummus, plant milks, and more and has a brand new book out called the <a href="https://engine2diet.com/rip-esselstyn-books/">Seven Day Rescue Diet</a> which we get into in the episode! <br> <br> Rip is a super energetic, passionate, and positive dude that is on a mission to help people rescue their health through plants, which is something we can certainly get behind. We talked about the Seven Pillars of the new book, how athletes should be fueling, and a bit of the behind the scenes of his business and employee seminar work with Whole Foods Market. We hope you enjoy the conversation!<br> <br> Just want to give a big thanks to all of our recent Patreon supporters.
