Wednesday, September 2nd, 2015 Dustin is a pharmacist who prefers plants to pills. His transformation began in February 2009 with a routine visit to his podiatrist. The more he researched plant-based nutrition, the more he saw its accuracy shining through in his experiences. First, there were all the devastating chronic diseases that his family suffered with from their meat, dairy, and egg diet. Dustin himself, although young and relatively healthy, had migraine headaches and weighed about 10 pounds more than he wanted to. Second, he though about his patients, and how they don’t get better from drugs. They just come back for more medications. Its took Dustin about a year to become completely plant based. Dustin now enjoys a whole foods, plant-based diet with vegetables, legumes, fruits, grains, and nuts. He’s lost the weight, headaches, and chance of disease. He is the author of : The Empty Medicine Cabinet: The Pharmacist’s Guide to theHidden Danger of Drugs and the Healing Powers of Food.

Wednesday July 8th, 2015 Vegan food has come a long way in the past decade. The once ubiquitous dry, packaged veggie burger is no longer the poster child for an animal-free diet. It has evolved into a creative, sophisticated cuisine touted by the likes of Food & Wine magazine. Long at the fore of vegan blogging and cooking, Dreena Burton has been known for making healthy taste delicious. Let Them Eat Vegan! distills more than fifteen years of recipe development that emphasize unrefined, less-processed ingredients-no white flour or white sugar, but instead whole-grain flours, natural sweeteners, raw foods, and plenty of beans ’n greens. There’s no relying on meat analogues here, either-just hearty, healthy food that looks and tastes great. As the mother of three young girls, Burton always keeps their nutrition-and taste buds-in mind. From the simplest comfort foods like Warm “Vegveeta” Cheese Sauce to the more sophisticated Anise-and Coriander-Infused Orange Lentil Soup, these recipes will delight and inspire even the pickiest eaters and provide lifelong vegans with the innovative, wholesome recipes they’ve always wanted.
