From Migraines to Mindful Eating: A Plant-Powered Transformation With Callum Weir & Gregg Rozeboom
#30 Welcome back to the Plant Fuelled Podcast, legends! It's Callum here, your vegan nutritionist, and today we’re diving into an amazing episode with a focus on food, health, and how plant-based eating can change your life. In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Gregg Rozeboom, founder of Fruitive, a whole-food, plant-based restaurant with locations in Washington DC and Virginia Beach. Fruitive is all about making healthy eating accessible, delicious, and anything but boring! Together, we dive into Gregg’s inspiring journey—from suffering chronic migraines since childhood to discovering the life-changing power of plant-based eating after the age of 40. We’ll also talk about the restaurant world: the challenges of running a plant-based restaurant, navigating organic certifications, and how the COVID pandemic reshaped the business. We get into some big discussions, like the environmental toll of deforestation in the Amazon for agriculture, and how Gregg’s mission is to show that eating plant-based doesn’t need to be expensive or tasteless. Gregg also shares personal stories, coaching clients to better health, and what Fruitive offers for those looking to make healthier food choices. Plus, we get into the influence of Dr. Neal Barnard and Gregg’s top recommendations from his own restaurant menu!
