Summary

Carleigh Bodrug is the CEO and Founder of PlantYou, a New York Times Bestselling cookbook author and self-taught plant-based chef. Carleigh founded PlantYou in 2016 after the World Health Organization announced that red and processed meat were now considered Group 1 and Group 2 Carcinogens which was especially shocking as Carleigh grew up on a “meat and potatoes” diet. With little-to-no cooking skills, and a tiny bachelor apartment kitchen, Carleigh started experimenting with plants. She began cooking vegan meals by simply replacing the meat in her favorite childhood recipes with plants. Carleigh's mission is to help people to save money, reduce food waste and eat healthier than they ever have before.

In this conversation, we discuss:

  • Carleigh’s journey from working in radio broadcasting to becoming a vegan chef and how a plant-based diet improved her digestion and overall energy levels
  • The health and environmental benefits of eating more plant-based foods & moral reasons for reducing animal product consumption
  • The importance of focusing on your health and diet as part of your overall wellness and wealth
  • Tips for reducing food waste at home through proper storage, repurposing vegetable scraps, and being flexible with recipes + much more!
