Diving In Ep. #8: Melissa Trusty Diving In Podcast

Welcome to Episode 8 of The Diving In Podcast, where Max and Mario host, not only our longest episode yet but also the very first female guest on the Diving In podcast. Melissa Trusty (@themelissatrusty ) is a natural distance runner competing in several triathlons, a well-educated nutritionist, and a 5-star vegan chef. But Melissa is so much more than that... she's an exotic fruit fanatic, a world traveler, and a truly brilliant food photographer! In this episode, we cover the different characteristics of well-known diets (plant-based, [raw] vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, etc.), the benefits and struggles of going plant-based, and of course her back story and education that got her to where she is today! This and so much more can be found in this 2+ hour-long, mouth-watering conversation. 

Melissa truly lit up the studio and blessed us with so much knowledge into the life of an everyday vegan. It was an honor to have such a strong and independent female on the show and she took both Max and Mario to school in this episode. Never before did we consider giving up cheesesteaks until now... Going plant-based won't be easy for most, but a variation of a vegan diet into your daily lives may be necessary for a long and healthy life. Mrs. Trusty is well established in her field, but she's only beginning to reach her full potential! For any questions or inquiries about going plant-based don't hesitate to reach out to us or Melissa directly via social.
