Show notes coming soon coming soon but only to www.YouTube.com/c/ChefAJ Ruth Morley, who is 70 years old, has explored the world on foot and by bicycle for years. She has trekked in the Himalayas, Patagonia, Thailand; run 52 marathons in 18 U.S. states, 11 countries, on 5 of the 7 continents; cycled down the western coast of the U.S. and from the Pacific to the Atlantic.; climbed Africa’s tallest mountain, Kilimanjaro (19,341 ft.), Japan’s Mt. Fuji (12,388 feet) and Colorado’s Pike’s Peak (14,115 ft.); backpacked the 2200 mile Appalachian Trail (Georgia to Maine), as well as other trails in Europe and the US. Future plans include the 480-mile Colorado Trail in the Rockies in August 2023, continuing Ohio’s Buckeye Trail and the Florida National Scenic Trail, and exploring the Laugavegur Trail in Iceland in 2024. She is now in her fourth year of enthusiastically following a WFPB SOS- and gluten-free way of eating, specifically Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn’s plan for preventing and reversing heart disease, which has made all the difference in the world in her health, energy, stamina, and recovery rate from these endeavors. What does the future hold? With her primary focus on her way of eating, she also thrives with her time moving outdoors, daily meditation and yoga, Pilates and working out with weights, and is grateful for the great support from her husband of nearly 50 years. At the age of 70, but feeling 20+ years younger, she anticipates many more years ahead of her for great explorations. You can read her accounts of these journeys on the Appalachian, Buckeye and Florida trails, including her implementation of the WFPB way of eating, on her blog at: thetrek.co/author/Ruth-Morley. She can also be reached at her fledgling public Facebook page, Heart-Healthy Hiking. Thanks so much for your interest! HEALTHY BODY, PEACEFUL MIND, JOYFUL HEART!

The lowest sodium broth I have found is Kitchen Basics at Kroger. Read labels of anything packaged that you buy, to avoid high sodium and any oil. I buy very little packaged/processed food.

We were able to begin our family after his surgery and with each successive pregnancy and multiple miscarriages, I gained more and more weight, maxing out at 258.8 at 5’11” and a 36.6 BMI. I started eating a sloppy plant based diet in March 2020 and used the time at home during the pandemic to learn a new way of cooking and eating. I lost 15 pounds in that first year. In February 2021, I found serendipitously found Chef AJ’s Truth About Weightloss Summit and I haven’t looked back! I’m down 72 pounds now and am hovering at a 25 BMI. I’ve gone from a 2XL/size 18 to a Medium/size 8! At age 56, I continue to be amazed every day when I wake up feeling healthy and happy and ready to face the day with a vitality that I never thought I’d see again. I feel like I’m in my 20s, thanks to Chef AJ and all her wonderful courses and guests who have taught me so much! I spend my days caring for my almost grown family, cooking delicious food, cycling, reading, praying, learning, laughing, listening, and co-moderating Chef AJ’s YouTube Live shows!

Watch the daily success stories here on Chef AJ's YouTube channel from July 11-17, 2023 Got questions? Join the live Q&A with Chef AJ and John Pierre on Saturday, July 15 2023, at 9am Pacific here on Chef AJ's YouTube channel Lori's Story I was a healthy, active child growing up. I was a competitive swimmer from the time I was eight until I was nineteen years old. My journey with weight loss began when I was about seventeen years old. During the summer, I grew two inches, gained breasts and hips, and turned into a young woman. I also gained 25-30 pounds. The weight crept on and my mom told me I looked like a linebacker, and my dad wouldn’t give me any money for back to school clothes. Fast forward, I got married and had two children. With each child, I gained a lot of weight, 55 pounds with my first and 75 pounds with my second. I never could get down to pre-pregnancy weight after my second. I had a terrible self-body image and always thought I was fat or overweight. In my 40s, I developed Thyroid Cancer, and this continues to be an issue with weight loss and keeping weight off for me, even when I eat the way I should. Pre-COVID, I went to an online school to become a certified health coach. I learned about 100 different ways to eat food, from Whole Food Plant Based (WFPB), to vegan and vegetarian, raw foods, to Paleo and Keto, and everything in between. 12:05- I was already vegan and a health coach and decided to attend an Ocean Robbins event. I had read his father’s book (John Robbins) and was impressed by the book and that John was his own advocate. I had a lot of names and information and started following people and what they had to say, which was in alignment with my beliefs, so it was easier for me to become WFPB. 13:45 – My dad was an educator and a closet eater and that was a problem for him, which I didn’t know that until later. My mom was always real thin until her 50s when her body changed and she got diabetes and then died from colon cancer. My husband’s and my goal is to live disease-free during the last 10-20 years of our lives. My goal is to eat as healthfully as I can and I feel so much better when I don’t have sugar or oil and when I eat WFPB. My immediate family and myself did this at an older age. Being WFPB is sustainable and easy. When you educate yourself on what goes into foods, it will help you to become WFPB. 19:35 – I went to Weight Watchers and I gained weight. I am not an advocate of WW, I’m an advocate of WFPB eating. I tried other programs that weren’t sustainable, from being on medication to diets. Being WFPB is the only way for me to be healthy. 24:00 – A typical day of eating for me is sautéed kale, mushrooms and onions for breakfast, a large salad for lunch, and chili or split pea soup for dinner. When I got to my desired weight, I started having oatmeal and berries for breakfast. Snacks would be a piece of fruit or vegetables. I try not to eat after 6:30 PM each night. 34:45- People have concerns about not getting enough protein and they need to know that plants have all of the protein you need to sustain yourself. I have tried numerous times to lose weight. I think we are the hardest on ourselves. What have you got to lose but a few excess pounds!
