For true fans of the Esselstyn family, Rip takes a trip down memory lane with his parents, Ann Crile Esselstyn and Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., as they share the story of how Ann and Essy first met, how they sourced some creative building materials for "The Knob," and how the final scene in "Forks Over Knives" holds a special place in their hearts.
Hope you enjoy this dose of family history.

yes. I am 50 and have been plant based for two months now. I feel great, lost extra pounds without trying. I stumbled upon all these plant-based doctors on KZfaq and bought their books. Wish I knew this stuff years ago. My mother died at age 45 with diabetes and other ailments. My father as well, heart attack, stroke, a lifelong smoker and died of lung cancer at age 78. Both my parents obese and both had dentures. I don't ever recall my parents with natural teeth. I will not live like that. If my parents only knew, but even if they did, not sure they would change.

Absolutely. I’m 70 and have been WFPBNO for about 4 years now. I lost 75 lbs, got off blood pressure meds and feel great! I surely wished I’d done this earlier, and Forks Over Knives was one of the most motivating documentaries I’ve seen.

That "can do" attitude of taking apart an old barn piece by piece, and getting a truckers license to haul giant timbers in order to build his own log cabin really reflects Dr. Esselstyn's "can do" attitude that he most likely projects on to those he is around including his patients and his children. He truly believes his patients can take control of their health by eating plant based.

What’s so amazing is that they are scientist which normally do not integrate food with medicine. They are strictly advocates for medicine to disease. God bless you with continued health so you can continue to do the meaningful work towards plant base living. So grateful. Thank you!!

What a great time. So I take it the Crile building at the clinic was named after her father. I have been there many times. The clinic saved my dads life in the late 1960 I believe. He was the first surgery done that did a colostomy he had Crohn’s of course. Your parents are such amazing loving individuals.
