                                In 1987, Rip Esselstyn switched to a whole-foods plant-based diet, a lifestyle that would later fuel his career as a professional triathlete and firefighter. This shift is the foundation for what is Rip Esselstyn's daily diet today, a whole-foods, oil-free approach known as PLANTSTRONG.
