Fighting The “Five-headed Chronic Western Disease Dragon!”
Go Plant-Strong
Rip Esselstyn, a former firefighter in Austin, TX, passionately relates “slaying the dragon” (firefighting) to slaying a different dragon that he calls “the Five-headed Chronic Western Disease Dragon.”
He names Heart Disease, Breast Cancer, Prostate Cancer, Diabetes, and Obesity as the five heads of the dragon and believes the way to fight THIS dragon is with plant-based nutrition.
If you’ve seen FORKS OVER KNIVES, you know that Rip challenged his firefighter pals to try a plant-based diet. This changed their lives!
This is a GREAT healing video from the author of The Engine 2 Diet.

Rip Esselstyn, a former firefighter and author of The Engine 2 Diet, advocates a plant-strong diet to combat chronic diseases. Esselstyn inspired his fellow firefighting crew at the Austin Engine 2 station to follow a plant-based diet and dramatically heal their health. In 2012, Engine 2 and Whole Foods Market unveiled the Engine 2 food line.
