We know that one of the best indicators of health is a sense of community. Community helps to transform words to actions, actions to habits and habits to values.
When it comes to fostering a sense of community around healthy food and a healthy planet, the Food Revolution Summit is one event you do not want to miss.
The 2022 Food Revolution Summit is a free, online event hosted by John and Ocean Robbins. This year the summit is packed with world class speakers who will not only inspire you but also offer a strong message of hope that what you do to nourish your body can make a difference.
During this seven day event, John Robbins will interview 25 of the most trusted health and wellness experts on everything from boosting your immunity, fighting climate change, avoiding pesticides, and living a long, healthy life free of chronic disease.
The Food Revolution Summit is THE place to be if you want to learn more about your food, your health and your environment. And did I mention it’s free?
If you’re not familiar with John Robbins you might be surprised to know that he is the son of Irvine Robbins, one of the founders of the Baskin-Robbins ice cream company. In fact, John was the one who invented Jamoca Almond Fudge, one of the company’s most iconic flavors.
Growing up with a freezer full of 31 flavors of ice cream, John knew early on that a diet of ice cream was not the way to achieve optimal health. In order to stay true to his beliefs, John walked away from his family and his inheritance and moved to an island off the Canadian coast.
While living on the island, John and his wife built a one-room cabin, grew most of their food and raised their son, Ocean. And they did all of this on $500 a year.
In 1987, John published his first book, Diet for a New America. In this groundbreaking book, he explored the health, environmental and ethical consequences of the standard American diet and more specifically, the dairy industry.
Several decades after this book was published, John’s father was facing his own serious health challenges. After years of eating the standard American diet (and a ton of ice cream) Irvine was obese, diabetic, had high blood pressure and on top of all that, he had several arterial blockages.
Irvine’s doctor told him that if he wanted to live, he needed to make some big changes to his diet. Not knowing that John was Irvine’s son, his doctor recommended he start by reading Diet for a New America. Talk about a twist of fate!
Although they had not spoken in many years, Irvine read John’s book and he immediately changed his diet. Not only did he lose the weight but he was able to reverse his diabetes and heart disease. Irvine continued on his path of transformation and was able to live a healthy life for another 21 years.
As you can see, we ALL have the power to create change and the most powerful shift you can make is with the food you eat.
Now more than ever we need to make the best choices when it comes to eating for our health as well as the health of our planet.
The Food Revolution Summit is a powerful resource that will give you the information you need to start fueling your body so you can prevent disease, have more energy and protect our beautiful but endangered planet.
