Author, Kathy Freston, discusses her vegan journey and her new book, 72 Reasons to Be Vegan, co-authored with Gene Stone. (#vegan) ordinaryvegan.net

If there's one person who put the vegan lifestyle on the map, it would have to be Kathy Freston. For over 10 years, Kathy has been part of the plant-based movement. She has written nine books including Veganist, The Lean, Clean Protein, and Quantum Wellness. Her newest offering, co-authored with Gene Stone, is entitled “72 Reasons To Be Vegan – Why Plant-Based. Why Now“ which was released on March 30 of this year.

Kathy's appearance on The Oprah Winfrey show inspired Oprah and her entire staff to go entirely vegan for 21 days. In addition, Kathy appears frequently on national TV, including Ellen, Dr. Oz, Good Morning America, The Talk, Extra, and Oprah, and her work has been featured in Vanity Fair, Harper’s Bazaar, Self, W, Fitness, and The Huffington Post.

In this episode, Kathy Freston and Nancy touch on numerous subjects including:

  • Kathy's personal journey to veganism
  • Faux meats and processed food
  • How to reduce our environmental impact

CBD Testimonials

Testimonial 1

“A few month’s ago I ordered your CBD oil on a whim and to be honest,  I didn’t really believe it could help me with my chronic pain. But since I started using the capsules, I’m a new person. At first I cut back on my opioids, but now I am almost opioid free for the first time in 10 years. Thank you so much!”

// MARK

“My name is Stephanie and my anxiety and panic attacks were something I learned to live with. I started using your capsules daily and it has changed my life. Panic attacks are gone and my anxiety level is the best it has ever been. I also use the drops when I need a little extra anxiety protection. So grateful. Thank you Ordinary Vegan.”

“Hi – I wanted to share my experience with your CBD capsules in hope that it helps others. I have suffered with depression and anxiety on and off since the 70s. I am now 65. The happy tablets just didn’t seem to work anymore then someone mentioned CBD Oil. I have never looked back since taking it. Besides it changed my moods it also got rid of back pain I had. But basically I wake up in the morning feeling happy again :)”

” I recently tried Ordinary Vegan’s CBD Pain Cream after straining my neck moving furniture. The cream looks like more of a salve and is a beautiful pale green color and it smells divine . It massages easily into the skin and best of all IT WORKS! My neck had been killing me for days and after massaging it into my neck I felt almost instant relief.”

Testimonial 10

“I received my CBD cream from Ordinary Vegan. My hands were in a lot of pain and I could not bend my fingers. I applied some and within about 35 min. I could bend them and the pain was gone. I used it sparingly but messaged it in good but gingerly. I love the color and the smell. It doesn’t smell medicinal.”

// LEIGH

” I just ordered from your site last night and I’m so excited to start feeling better. On a more personal note…I’ve loved your other page and blogs for quite a long time now and when I saw that you started selling this product I knew right away that I trusted the quality and would try it. Thank you for everything”

// DAVE

Testimonial 13

“I have suffered from severe chronic pain for over 20 years. Got addicted to pain meds and took Acetaminophen daily for 20 years until it led to a severe ulcer. I finally decided to try your CBD oil capsules and it was a miracle from the moment I took them. No only did it improve my mood swings, it took away the pain and decreased the inflammation. I am a new man. Thank you!”

// WILLIAM

Testimonial 14

“I have a very rare, incurable and untreatable disease called Mitochondrial Disease. I had been bedridden for the last 4 years. I started CBD oil hoping to get some relief for my symptoms and what I ended up getting was my life back. I can still hardly believe it. We are all stunned, including my doctors. I can sit up, talk, walk and have even started exercising to try and regain muscle and endurance. For the first time in over 4 years I have hope. Please, please help move CBD forward. Its the only thing that has helped me. The only thing.”
