On April 20, 2024 thousands around the world will be celebrating the 90th birthday of T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D., author of THE CHINA STUDY, WHOLE, THE LOW CARB FRAUD and THE FUTURE OF NUTRITION. Why do I love this man?  Why are thousands of people around the world joining me in celebrating his birthday? Because he has changed our lives for good!

T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D., Jacob Gould Schurman Professor Emeritus of Nutritional Biochemistry at Cornell, is a scholar, researcher, educator, lecturer, writer and food and health policy expert.  His life and work are featured in the life-changing documentary film FORKS OVER KNIVES. His clarity, courage and conviction in the face of confusing scientific and medical reports are evident to anyone seeking nutritional truth for optimal health.

Campbell is a hero to many.  His nutritional studies have impacted the health of thousands.  Lives have been changed, health has been restored and countless people are sending their messages of gratitude and admiration to America’s premier nutritionist.  

Dr. Esselstyn's book PREVENT AND REVERSE HEART DISEASE has been life-changing for those seeking optimum health and hope in the face of healthcare crises around the globe.  It will continue to be a game-changer for personal, societal and planetary health.  

The first part of the book presents the medical, scientific and nutritional basis for dietary change resulting in reversal of heart disease and other chronic diseases.  The second part includes 150 recipes created and edited by Ann Crile Esselstyn, wife of Dr. Esselstyn. I owe my restored health to the Esselstyns for teaching me that I could eat well and be well by feasting on a great variety of vegetables, fruits, grains and legumes prepared and served without meat (beef, pork, poultry or seafood, etc.), dairy and added oil. 

PREVENT AND REVERSE HEART DISEASE COOKBOOK 

by Ann Esselstyn and daughter Jane Esselstyn

In her 8 Principles for Becoming Plant Perfect, Ann urges eating oats as Principle #1:  "Eat oats (Old Fashioned) for breakfast, any way you can as oatmeal, as cold cereal as we do with alternative milk and fruit or in waffles or pancakes or just put your cereal bowl with oats, banana and alternative milk and a tablespoon of flax seed into your waffle iron and you have your oat breakfast in waffle form. Oats help lower cholesterol and also reduce artery inflammation. Find the breakfast with oats you love then eat it EVERY DAY!"

In 2017, Dorothy met Dr. Ruth Heidrich while traveling in Hawaii.  Dr. Heidrich is a breast cancer survivor and vegan tri-athlete, who  was featured in documentary 

Forks Over Knives.  

Two years after her diagnosis, Dr. Heidrich was the first cancer patient and the first vegan to cross the finish line of the Kona Ironman Triathlon! 

While waiting for their outrigger canoe, they had an opportunity to chat.  Watch a video here!
