WHY DID BOTH OF YOU START YOUR PLANT-BASED JOURNEY?
Anastasia: My plant-based journey started in 2016 from watching Food Choices randomly on Netflix with my husband. He was so inspired by Rich Roll, the Ultra Ironman that he started juicing fruits and vegetables the next morning for breakfast. We both felt an instant burst of energy and mental clarity, and that was the beginning of it all. I would say we are 80% plant-based now and take some meat occasionally so as not to impose on our loved ones.
Michelle: My plant-based diet consists mostly — not entirely — of food derived from plants including vegetables and legumes, nuts, seeds, mushrooms and fruit. As a child I always loved fruit and vegetables, and they formed a substantial portion of my family’s diet, so my adult diet was a natural evolution from that starting point.
As I navigated my health issues through adulthood, I discovered that I function at my best and I’m at my most energetic, healthful and clear-headed when my diet consists of clean, plant-based food. I’m also extremely fortunate that being in Asia makes it easy to avoid dairy and gluten which I do not process well.
My current diet became built around eliminating what impairs my health and well-being, and keeping or adding what supports and elevates my health. And it continues to evolve.

However, as the return of the Indie Sleaze movement returns, confronting the pressing question cannot be put off any longer. Should the world be opening its eyes and waking up for the return of \"guyliner\"?
