    I just wanted to say Hello Mike, you’re AMAZING!!!! My husband was diagnosed with Stage 3B Colon Cancer and refused the recommended 9-12 months of chemo. We knew we had to find a better way to heal his body and we did!!! We, too, did a radical lifestyle change including a Whole Foods Plant Based diet. This was 6 years ago and he remains chemo free and cancer free. We also live in Ohio. ❤️

    Rich, you did such a nice job with this interview. And it was so sweet when Mike said that this was the high point of his career. He founded American Rivers! And he has made such an amazing impact on the river steward community and River protection in this country. When he was in his early 80s he did me a favor, and paddled the entire length of the river that I steward, all 150 Miles, with his 60 something year old friend. And gave me notes on every inch of it so that I could begin to create what is now a water trail map for the river. He is an amazing person, and I'm so glad that you got to interview him. He inspired me to go plant-based about 20 years ago. I love all your interviews, but this one is extra special.

    Yep, Mike is absolutely right. After my heart attack and stent procedure at age 66, I realized Western Medicine had nothing I wanted. The alpha and beta blockers kept me from even walking around the block! Two cardiologists said because I'd had a heart attack, I was going to have another one. Within 3 weeks, I'd read enough to dive into a WFPB diet and within a year my cardiologist had discontinued all of my heart meds! Seven years later, I've reversed my heart disease and have never felt better in my life and I'm teaching others to eat this way too. GO MIKE!

My go to quick meal (I keep a big bowl in the fridge) is a chopped salad made with cabbage (red and green), apples, celery and seasoned with caraway seeds, dill and a simple fat free dressing (3 parts balsamic vinegar, 2 parts mustard, 1 part maple syrup). I love beans and hummus, (cumin, curry and turmeric are a staple seasonings) and I make my own chips cutting up whole wheat flatbread and crisping it in the oven.

    Several people in my family became centenarians. The next bunch are currently close to ninety. A few of my earlier progenitors threw in the towel in their late eighties, but that was during the time when life expectancy was circa fifty years old. Dr. DeLacey Evans conducted a landmark study of centenarians (almost 200 years ago), and he travelled the globe to do it. He found that some were athletes, while others were cripples. Some ate meat, while others did not. Some drank, while others were tea totalers. Some smoked and some did not. Some were rich and some were impoverished. The ratio of male to female was roughly 50/50. All things taken into account, he found only one commonality: *They ALL ate sparingly.* In my half century of purposeful observation, I’ve noticed the same trend. Vegans (I eat a predominantly vegan diet too, and I eat only once a day) usually consume far fewer calories and carbs than the other 97% of the population. Vegetarians generally fare well too. Seventh Day Adventists stick to vegetarian fare and they routinely outlive the general population by a decade or more. Exercise is wonderful, of course, but it appears that *eating sparingly* is the only verifiable cause of triple digit longevity. Hope this helps. Love and All Good Things, Jesse.🌹

Seaweed is a prominent ingredient in the macrobiotic diet, most seaweed comes from Japan, and tons of radioactive waste water have been dumped into the Pacific off the Fukushima coast. Reporting on the real levels of radiation, of course, are covered up the powerful nuke industry, to no objection of producers and distributors down the assemblylines. Very sad, an excellent man. Water pollution and the inability to source organic seaweed is a main reason I left following a strict macrobiotic diet.

I've recently considered getting the run mojo back, after a lengthy hiatus. Both for the tackling of weight gain over these last couple of years, plus missing that improved boost to positive mentality, that happens with those circulating endorphins enroute. Anyone thinking they're too old to return, or start out, to leaving the front door in the trainers, shorts & running jacket, just listen to Mike.

Last year I was so impressed with the results in terms of well-being, health, mental and physical fitness that I really wondered if the improvements would stop now after 2 years. But I had a feeling they wouldn’t. This year I discovered proper hydration, morning sun light and exercise and wow this work well ! I feel another 20% better than last year, and that was up 30% better than before the transition to whole plants ! So I can relate to what this man is saying. He seems in a v good mood.

    In talking to the elders, patience must be exercised to its full extent. I understand there is a ton of ground that Rich wanted to cover, but I noticed that the beautiful streams and tributaries of Mike’s expansive understanding of his history weren’t fully followed. In any case, it was so great to see Rich go outside of his comfort zone here and bring on someone who is a little less about doing and a little more about being. I want to see the ‘influencer’ culture do more of this, not only for the good of the consumer but for the good of the ‘influencer’ themselves. This world has many untapped elders and would do well to listen and follow carefully the winding philosophies of those who came before.

    I was listening to a podcast that said, “it’s important to live life by design rather than emotion. Basically, sticking to a routine is what allows us to be the healthiest version of ourselves (especially when you're fighting these demons ex. OCD for me). I’ve had to overhaul how I approach taking care of my brain (exercise, journaling, studying etc) by practising mediocre consistency. Now I try to put in consistent 50-60% effort into my journaling habit - to make sure I do it I began recording it and posting it on YT. After a really bad depression phase I started to believe I couldn’t change and I’d feel that horrible forever. Now I’m trying to give a small, consistent mediocre effort everyday. And its crazy how it adds up. Im stronger, my heads A LOT clearer, weirdly I feel younger too.
