Taking Back Our Power for Health with Paige Parsons Roache

“Everybody has access to extraordinary choices.” - Paige Parsons Roache When her daughter decided to go vegan, Paige Parsons Roache couldn’t have imagined how much her own diet and life would change. It started with education: reading books, listening to plant-based doctors, watching documentaries and trying vegan food from local restaurants. Pretty soon, Paige was experimenting with recipes and becoming a “chef in her own kitchen” for the first time in her life. After meeting Jane Velez-Mitchell at a vegan event, Paige found herself inspired to get more involved and more vocal about the plant-based cause. Documentaries like Cowspiracy and What the Health had opened her eyes to the environmental and social impacts of animal agriculture, and she became committed to helping end the suffering connected to the industry. “If I knowingly was contributing to the harm of another,” Paige says of her realization, “I knew I had to make the change.” Episode Highlights: Paige’s background in the environmental movement, including what inspired her to go plant-based vegan Insights from Paige’s journey from a “frozen food vegan” to someone who loves experimenting in the kitchen The importance of educating yourself about food, health and the environment How Jane Unchained/Unchained TV is advancing the vegan and plant-based movements through the resources they provide Easy ways to swap whole plant-based foods in place of animal products Caring for your body holistically, not just through what you eat How to minimize the environmental and social impacts of factory farming Paige’s passion for the environment, health and animals shows in her words and actions. Through Jane Unchained, Clubhouse and other initiatives, she’s inspiring and encouraging others to get educated about plant-based eating, make the switch away from animal products and take back power for health and wellbeing.
