Ann Crile Esselstyn, the wife of Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, began feeding her family creative, plant-based meals more than thirty years ago in support of her husband’s research. She has frequently been referred to as “the Julia Child of plant-based cooking.” She and her daughter, Jane Esselstyn, RN, are full of energy and spend their time fiercely advocating a plant-based lifestyle to the world.
Ann and Jane are pictures of vibrant health and spend their days hiking, doing yoga, gardening, cooking, and spreading the message that food is the key to living a happy, strong, and disease-free life. Their new book, Be a Plant-Based Woman Warrior explains how women everywhere can pass on this important legacy in their own families through the generations, and illuminates how plants powerfully support a woman’s body and mind. Their mission is to empower women to live a life of vitality and in control of their own health.
