#36: Discussing Pediatric Obesity with Dr. Leigh Ettinger Dr. Leigh Ettinger joined the hospital staff at Hackensack University Medical Center in 2004 and began treating children affected by kidney disease and hypertension. He first learned about the plant-based diet in 2014 from a cyclist on Youtube!

His family and some of his patients joined him in this plant-based journey. In 2017, he joined the staff of the hospital’s outpatient pediatric weight management program to help families struggling with obesity.

Today, we invited on Eloísa Trinidad to discuss her work fighting food insecurity. Eloísa is an award-winning policy advocate, liberation activist, educator, and artist. Her path toward activism and Veganism started early in life. She was raised by centenarians who lived off the land, taught her to be self-sustainable, and passed down much ancestral knowledge to her. This shaped her views of justice and empathy for all Beings, protection of our sacred home–Earth, and the belief in the healing power of plants, sharing, and community. As an AfroIndigeous Latina woman, she approaches liberation praxis and Veganism with an anti-colonial framework to raise awareness of how Western colonization has affected and continues to affect the plight of humans and beyond-human persons (animals). And how it has changed the food system and our relationship with each other and the natural world. 3:27 - 7:12 Growing Up in the Dominican Republic 7:13 - 9:32 Advocating For Others 18:35 - 22:04 Fighting Food Insecurity 22:05 - 22:45 Addressing Food Waste Chilis on Wheels: https://www.chilisonwheels.org/ Vegan Activist Alliance: www.veganactivistalliance.org Listen and Subscribe Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pbnm.org/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pbnmorg/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrHajqYAnc6b0syopySVkOg/ #nutrition #nutritiontips #nutritionfacts #nutritionstudent #educatorsmindset #educator #plantbased #plantbasedfood #plantbasedlife #plantbasedlifestyle

This week, we invited on PBNM directors John Gagliardi and Judi Bryan to discuss their reasons for going plant-based. Following his own health transformation, John’s goal is to educate and inspire others to do the same. John Gagliardi brings not only years of experience in traditional and new media, but also firsthand knowledge of the benefits of plant-based nutrition. In addition to creating and managing content for well-known catalogs and e-commerce sites, he has actively supported numerous non-profit organizations through his work with the Taproot Foundation, a volunteer organization that provides pro bono marketing services to NPOs. Following decades of eating the Standard American Diet (SAD) and experiencing a number of health issues and ballooning weight as a result, it came as a rude awakening when the documentary Forks Over Knives appeared in Judi’s queue on Netflix and she decided to watch. Not only did she choose to follow the dietary recommendations in the film, but one by one she saw her health issues vanish…and over the course of about a year, so did 85 lbs. A self-described “jack of all trades, master of none”, she’s been able to put in place and still manages the majority of systems we use at PBNM, both public-facing and internal.
