Episode 61: Easy Vegan Recipes with Jason Wrobel & Sun Exposure Tips

Tony and I are back to talk about a topic that many of you have asked about, especially with summer right around the corner: what kind of sunscreen to use and the effects of sun exposure. Today we are going to cover everything from the benefits to potential negative effects the sun rays can have on us Beauties. Tony and I discuss our ancestry and if this plays a part on how our bodies react to the sun, and how much sun exposure is actually safe to get in order to reap important health benefits. And finally, we talk about the differences in sun protection products we need to be aware of and what we should use to protect our skin.

Next, we have a very special guest today named Jason Wrobel. He is the host of the first vegan cooking show on television, How to Live to 100. He has a new book called Eaternity which has more than 150 Deliciously Easy Vegan Recipes. He is a talented vegan chef and is the host of the popular YouTube channel, The J-Wro Show®, showcasing healthy recipes, lifestyle transformation tips and culinary comedy.

Listen in to our conversation as we discuss Jason’s approach to being vegan and how he took plant-based cuisine and nutrition to the mainstream, and his initial motivation that led him down the rabbit hole of health.
