Guest Speaker:
Rip Esselstyn -  Mr. Esselstyn was born in upstate New York, raised in Cleveland, OH, and educated at the University of Texas at Austin, where he was a three-time All-American swimmer.  After graduation, Rip spent a decade as one of the premier triathletes in the world.  He then joined the Austin Fire Department where he introduced his passion for a whole-food, plant-based diet to Austin’s Engine 2 Firehouse in order to rescue a firefighting brother’s health.  To document his success he wrote a national bestselling book, The Engine 2 Diet, which shows the irrefutable connection between a plant-based diet and good health. 

Recently, Rip left his job as a firefighter to team up with Whole Foods Market as one of their Healthy Eating Partners to raise awareness for Whole Foods employees, customers, and communities about the benefits of eating a plant-strong diet.  He has appeared on hundreds of radio shows as well as national television shows including the Today Show, CBS Sunday Morning Show, Good Morning America, and the Dr. Oz Show.
