Ep 70: Healthy Living, Veganism, and Yoga with Matt and Jessica Rice

In this episode, I talk to Matt and Jessica Rice. They are the people behind the Plant-Based Caucus, a group within the Libertarian party that advocates for veganism and healthy living. Matt and Jessica explain why they decided to become vegans and the research that supports a whole-foods, plant-based diet. We talk about the benefits of eating clean and exercising regularly, and why yoga is an excellent way to stay in shape. Check it out!
