Howard Jacobson: From China Study to a Plant Powered Mindset
also available on
Episode Summary
I recently had the pleasure of joining Howard for a conversation on his Plant Yourself Podcast. He returned the favor... and I'm so grateful he did!
I appreciated learning about his story - going from a school teacher to business marketing expert to a proclaimed plant based health advocate and educator... largely through a series of synchronicities that led him into an incredible opportunity to co-author the book Whole with T. Colin Campbell (which by the way, is the #1 best book on holistic nutrition, in my humble opinion).
In addition to this wonderful story of working with Colin Campbell to publish Whole, I also appreciated learning a thing or 2 about Howards powerful approach to nutrition and lifestyle coaching.
Some highlights include...
- What happened after Howard left an Amazon review on the China Study
- Every piece of your life is part of a bigger journey
- "Failing" on a plant-based happens to the best of us!
- The lost art of connecting with fellow humans in community
- Difference between Motivation vs Follow Through
- Understanding behavioral economics and benign masochism to leverage sustainable change in your life
Hope you enjoy! Please feel free to leave a comment, rating, or review on whatever platform you choose to tune in on!
