It's All About Food - Talia Pollock, Party in Your Plants and Robby Barbaro, Mastering Diabetes

Part I: Talia Pollock, Party in Your Plants
Talia Pollock is a writer, speaker, plant-based chef (Natural Gourmet Institute), TV personality, and health and empowerment coach (Institute of Integrative Nutrition). She’s the host of the top-rated Party in My Plants podcast and the proud founder of Party in My Plants, an internationally-celebrated wellness platform that breathes fresh, funny air into the way-too-serious space of healthy living. Talia’s simple recipes and spunky lifestyle advice have been featured in outlets such as the Dr. Oz Show, HuffPost, Mindbodygreen, Thrillist, Buzzfeed, Bustle and Success. She was voted “most likely to brighten your day” in her high school yearbook; which is a title she very much still clings to for validation. Talia lives in New York City with her husband and her goldendoodle, both of whom love kale and one of whom eats it off the floor.
