I AM HUMAN

Join us as we embark on a transformative journey with the vibrant Chef Babette Davis, whose zest for life and culinary expertise has redefined the plant-based dining experience. In our latest podcast, we unravel Babette's story, from her initial steps as a hairstylist to her emergence as a celebrated chef and owner of Stuff I Eat, her trailblazing restaurant in Inglewood, California. At the remarkable age of 73, Babette's daily regimen reflects her profound philosophy on aging and longevity, vastly differing from the conventional lifestyle of her peers. Through her active living and constant self-challenge, Babette's definition of success goes beyond the ordinary, offering listeners an inspiring outlook on achieving joy and health at any age.

We converse about the art of enticing both vegans and meat-lovers with delectable, plant-based dishes that don't compromise on taste. Moreover, Babette shares the broader impact of diet on community health and the significance of serving as a beacon of change.
