Plant-Powered People Podcast

by Toni Okamoto and Michelle Cehn

Life is always easier and more exciting when you have friends to share in your journey, and the path to plant-based living is no exception! On the Plant-Powered People Podcast, you'll hear from folks who've embraced plant-based living while they share their experiences overcoming obstacles in the most graceful (and sometimes not-so-graceful) ways. Join hosts Michelle Cehn (founder of World of Vegan) and Toni Okamoto (founder of Plant Based on a Budget) every other week as they tackle challenges like being the only vegan in the family, what it's like to be plant-based while working at a non-veg restaurant job, and more!

Nhblackbear · Feb 2025

I’ve been vegan since 2006 and focused on a WFPB nutrition since 2011, I’ve been to numerous seminars, symposiums, conferences etc with many of the WFPB “giants” (Dr Barnard, Dr Esselstyn, Dr Campbell, Dr McDougall, etc) and your podcast episodes still deliver new information! I especially loved Dr Funk’s! Thank you!
