Becoming a Lean, Green Dad with Cory Warren: PYP 179
Cory Warren is a plant-based athlete from Orlando, Florida, and dad to three whole food, plant-based kids. After struggling through a medicine morass of misinformation and toxic treatment when his wife was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis (UC), they took matters into their own hands and started looking for alternatives.
Through Forks Over Knives, they discovered T. Colin Campbell and The China Study – and they were off and running. His wife weaned herself off the “rest of her life”medication once she ditched the dairy and other auto-immune triggers. Cory turned into a competitive athlete, training six days a week.
And since the diet was working so well for the grownups, it just made sense to give their children the same advantage. In our conversation, Cory and I discuss his family's transformation, and various strategies to raise plant-based kids in a McDonalds world.
