In Part 1 of our interview with Ray Cronise and Julieanna Hever, we got to know them a little better and introduced their new book The Healthspan Solution. If you haven’t checked it out yet, you can watch here.
We had SO many questions from our audience (and a ton that we wanted to ask ourselves), so Ray and Julieanna graciously agreed to continue the interview into a second part.

In this part, we discussed a variety of topics, including that infamous potato diet, ideal body weight, contrast showers and the ever popular protein question. We also got a science lesson from CrayRay about calorimeters and metabolism (Brian was geeking out). And we even tried to recruit them for our plant-based band!
Thank you for joining us on this two-part series. We hope you learned a lot – I know we did! Hopefully this has given you a new perspective on your own plant-based adventure. Please check out their book, along with the resources below, to learn even more. And, as Ray and Julieanna say, “keep eating right!”
