PlantStrong At-Home Chef Experience | Interview with Rip Esselstyn from PlantStrong

[@carlaberkheimer2788]

Your Dad is awesome!!! I called and left a question on his answering machine. He called me back and gave me so much helpful information!!! I was shocked he took the time to call me. Forever Grateful!

[@tonyaquinn7822]

Wow!

[@NayNay-zm5ln]

Chef AJ you are one of my favorite interviewers. You listen and ask great questions. Love you. Thank you for another great interview.

[@CHEFAJ]

Thank you!

[@roseker3288]

Sending the love energy I receive from you guys, back to you⚛️💝Thank you with all my heart❤️

[@kandiscaldwell5459]

I concur with all of Rip's praise for Chef AJ. She has been such a catalyst for my plant based journey, and I can't thank her enough. Her no nonsense attitude and advice is exactly what I need. Thanks for all that you do Chef AJ. And I love it when you choose not to wear makeup, because you are gorgeous without it. But you are the smoking one on this interview, not Rip. Ha!

[@anniel482]

Met him in 2015 at his Sedona Immersion. He’s exactly the same - gracious, friendly and so willing to share his knowledge.

[@robinsaxophone232]

Such a great interview. Rip is so energetic and fun. Two of my favorite people.

[@AndreaAvila78]

He's a lovely person. I love his sister and mother's show on KZbin. I'm so jealous of them for still having their mom. Mine died of colon cancer at age 60. The hardest blow of my life. She was so young.

[@jillianvanliew]

I love these two people! Great chemistry between two friends.

[@CHEFAJ]

Thank you!

[@deb446]

So happy to hear about the Engine2 products!! We are no where near a Whole Foods. Thank you! You're both great!

[@goldwest53]

Same here.

[@shannoncook9915]

Love him & his whole family! Great interview!

[@catherinebell122]

[@auntdayskitchen6315]

[@lucretiaj5745]

Can you do an episode on what you do for daily skin care and what you typically eat in a day???? You always have an amazing glow... and you are 60!!!! Maybe you have already posted videos on these topics and I missed them. Thank you for all that you do!!!!

[@carinekeza6754]

Such a great episode, I recently bought the engine 2 cookbook and it is my favorite of all my cookbooks! I just love all the esselstyn recipes, all delicious and perfect for the way I like to cook simply! Now I’m definitely going to go make the lasagna.♥️

[@lavondahawkins]

So glad to hear this. I miss the tortillas!

[@gigig7713]

Love the Engine 2 products!!! I had wondered why they disappeared from my Whole Foods, so this information makes my day!

[@gratitudeindeed8190]

[@Meltiqueful]

Chef AJ, please continue doing these shows even after the pandemic is over! Some of us can't travel or can't take the vaccine. Thanks so much!!

[@sarahhayes6361]

Another fabulous interview! I hope Rip's products are going to be sold in the Canadian whole foods!

[@nazokashii]

Ooooh, looking forward to when you're going to be on Rip's show Chef AJ :D I soooo agree with Rip with what he said about you, you truly are amazing :) you've given us all such amazing community during the last year especially, but in general I just think you're fabulous

[@CHEFAJ]

Aww-thank you so much♥️

[@goldwest53]

Wow, you really dolled up for this interview! A little giddy too. Fun show.

[@CathrinCatherine]

Here for "caramelized parsnip soup" and his shoulders in that shirt. 🌱💖

[@missiris1234]

RIP is looking good as well as our interviewer pretty AJ

[@CHEFAJ]

Thank you ♥️

[@barbpalmer856]

I'll be watching for the Plant Strong products at Wegmans

[@gastrogal5353]

Is there a way to recondition your body once your muscle mass has atrophied due to Diabetes and injuries incurred due to an auto accident? My accident was 16 years ago and it caused my stomach to shut down (called Gastroparesis, delayed stomach emptying) so I am unable to digest food, so it is causing complications, and it also caused my diabetes one year after my accident. I have loved the video Forks Over Knives and have been vegan ever since. But I can only digest smoothies and/or soups for the most part. Any advice would be so appreciated as I also need my right ankle to be fused and am dealing with other complications which keep me away from swimming which is the best exercise of choice. At 58 I have done my best to learn how to live with my new normal. But I feel as though I am barely surviving, rather than thriving as I did with my life prior to my accident. My diabetes has nearly killed me too many times to even count. So I am simply seeking help in all ways possible for my complex situation. I am also doing my best to get my sugars under control, but due to the Gastroparesis, it makes it nearly impossible. I am doing my best to keep the faith!! Sending ☮️ n ❤️ to all, may you all find the proper path for your own health and well being!!

[@lornaleaman1922]

Can we get this in Canada?

[@lindamiller6629]

I love the broth. It has no MSG or yeast extract which Dr Blaylock says is worse version of MSG, and all broths have it. I tell everyone that his broth is only one tomuse.

[@tinahalverson8643]

Could you go back to talking about selling outside of the US like in Canada

[@phylliswarder9779]

Dr. Greger talks about broccoli sprouts.

[@paulnpege]

How about Rip's products in Safeway or Fred Meyer or Target or Walmart??

[@auntdayskitchen6315]

I’ve heard that if you wanna get Bill Nye get Ed Begley Junior because they are really competitive with each other and they’re good friends

[@gracec6320]

I just want the vegetable broth to be available everywhere or even online.

[@JeanMcCormack]

And don't forget the black bean chipotle burgers !!

[@tosca...]

Dr Rhonda Patrick is the queen of sulphuraphane. In Italy they are using broccoli (in chemical form) as a chemotherapy and it is proving to be very successful in fighting cancer. But daily sprouts are excellent - the seeds can be a bit expensive though.

[@CHEFAJ]

Interesting. Thanks

[@jodellfields2533]

I join the meal planner

[@rickt1951]

What is the difference between what Rip does compare to what his father does as far as WFPB goes? It seems contradictory to me. Is there a difference?

[@jodellfields2533]

Yes I would pay the extra cost for the burgers

[@gailgrieco1781]

Love Engine 2 veggie broth . Hope they keep it to the same no salt ingredients

[@MaryDavidson911]

I shit you not, just 4-ISH months ago my husbands cardiologist’s nurse IN THE PRESENCE OF THE CARDIOLOGIST, literally told my husband to switch to olive oil because it will “help”. I think I actually recorded it (I know I shouldn’t have, I really do know that). But WOW.

[@CHEFAJ]

Switch doctors!

[@wandaweber3123]

How old is RIP??

[@rebeccamyres583]

Why does American Heart Assoc recommend eating foods high in unsatuarated fats, and they're good for the heart? So confusing! Rip, please comment? Thanks!

[@CHEFAJ]

I don't believe Rip will be reading these comments so you may want to email him via his website. It is disturbing to say the least to hear some of their recommendations.

[@fruitascension5089]

Whole Foods stores are getting kinda crappy now. Their produce section isn't even that impressive anymore. It's becoming more and more like just a regular grocery store these days. I miss the Engine 2 products there! That's fine, I'll order online, like I've been doing for more and more things these days.

[@PropheticCoachTheresa]

amazon

[@onwednesdayswewearpink2761]

Sprouts is still good

[@carmenbreakey2959]

My feeling about the blackened broccoli is that it's not good for you..but I'm not a Dr...I think I would be a carcinogen..

[@goldwest53]

Bill Nye, the NOT science guy?!?! Good grief.

[@summa69]

What no pasta sauce!!!!
