Ep. 163: Cindy Thompson - ​​Extinguishing the Raging Fires of Chronic Lifestyle Disease…with a Fork!

Ep. 163: Cindy Thompson - ​​Extinguishing the Raging Fires of Chronic Lifestyle Disease…with a Fork!

We are "fired up" to welcome a plantstrong firefighting sister, Cindy Thompson, to the PLANTSTRONG podcast.

I was so moved by Cindy’s background of why she chose firefighting as a career, but it’s her journey to plants that makes her a true hero in my book.

In this male-dominated, meat-loving profession, she boldly took agency over her own health and, along the way, inspired others (including those macho male firefighters) to take a second look at their own plates and take the plantstrong journey with her.

Today, even though she’s retired from firefighting, she is still extinguishing the flames of disease and illness as a health and lifestyle coach, and, among many other credentials, is a licensed Food for Life Instructor for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.

Her business is called Tri-Mazing because, yes, she does triathlons for fun now, but when you are making food and lifestyle changes to benefit the health of the planet, the animals, and yourself, you are **Three Times Amazing**!

And, we get a bonus surprise today because she whips up an amazing queso dip and shares that recipe with us today!

Enjoy!
