Rich Roll made a decision at age 40 to dedicate his diet to plants and his body to purposeful action after years of struggling with drugs, alcohol, and unhealthy living. Now he's a vegan ultra-endurance athlete and full-time wellness and plant-based nutrition advocate. Rich is also the host of the wildly popular Rich Roll Podcast and author of several books.
