- For true fans of the Esselstyn family, Rip takes a trip down memory lane with his parents, Ann Crile Esselstyn and Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., as they share the story of how Ann and Essy first met, how they sourced some creative building materials for "The Knob," and how the final scene in "Forks Over Knives" holds a special place in their hearts.
Hope you enjoy this dose of family history.

The next mount rushmore ought to have Essy, Campbell, Gregor, Barnard, McDougall.....They have given their lives to humanity.
Oh my gosh - we love this. Thank you. =)
Add Ornish to the mix!
Absolutely!!
That’s a fact. These guys are my heroes
✌️👊💯% AGREE!
I'm so grateful that Campbell and Essy are still around to see the impact that their respective courageous efforts are having on millions of lives...mine being just one. Forever gratefull!
Beautifully said! Thank you, Judi.
yes. I am 50 and have been plant based for two months now. I feel great, lost extra pounds without trying. I stumbled upon all these plant-based doctors on TH-cam and bought their books. Wish I knew this stuff years ago. My mother died at age 45 with diabetes and other ailments. My father as well, heart attack, stroke, a lifelong smoker and died of lung cancer at age 78. Both my parents obese and both had dentures. I don't ever recall my parents with natural teeth. I will not live like that. If my parents only knew, but even if they did, not sure they would change.
Absolutely. I’m 70 and have been WFPBNO for about 4 years now. I lost 75 lbs, got off blood pressure meds and feel great! I surely wished I’d done this earlier, and Forks Over Knives was one of the most motivating documentaries I’ve seen.
@@jackiefox7224 wonderful!
Is it possible to adore people you don't even know? YES! My heart just melt when I see and hear Essy and Ann. Such an amazing and inspiring family. One of my goals is get to know you all in person.
Role model for so many! A life lived so well. Speechless.
You are blessed to have such a loving mother and father. We are blessed that you have honored them with your commitment to helping others as well.
I’m also eating a heart healthy lunch, I’m so thankful for this family.
LOVE how they ALL get into it!
Your parents are adorable!
"The only person who loves change....is a newborn infant." lol Love that line. Thank you.
Right?!
Awesome seeing you share your memories with actual clips from those years. What a witness to the health of eating a plant based diet!
Thanks for watching - so glad you enjoyed!
Love this family!!
I love love this family!!❤
The Knob looks like an amazingly beautiful place!
Absolutely beautiful people, thank you for sharing this with us.
What a great time. So I take it the Crile building at the clinic was named after her father.
I have been there many times. The clinic saved my dads life in the late 1960 I believe. He was the first surgery done that did a colostomy he had Crohn’s of course. Your parents are such amazing loving individuals.
You are correct, the Crile building is named after George Crile, Ann's father!
Two of my favorite people!
How have we missed this gem? We watched Forks Over Knives back in March 2013. It completely changed our lives 💯! Love these kinds of videos. It feels like we're part of the family. Thank you ❤
That "can do" attitude of taking apart an old barn piece by piece, and getting a truckers license to haul giant timbers in order to build his own log cabin really reflects Dr. Esselstyn's "can do" attitude that he most likely projects on to those he is around including his patients and his children. He truly believes his patients can take control of their health by eating plant based.
Thank you for watching.
We're glad you enjoyed the story - it does say a lot about who he is! ❤️
@@Engine2PlantStrong I also love the “it’s difficult to change” and his father changing radical mastectomy as standard. The same is needed for standard diet in the western world...... a radical change.
You and your whole family are heroes ❤️
So grateful to have found this wonderful family that really care about peoples lives without pumping another pill into the body. What’s so amazing is that they are scientist which normally do not integrate food with medicine. They are strictly advocates for medicine to disease. God bless you with continued health so you can continue to do the meaningful work towards plant base living. So grateful.
Thank you!!
My favourite plant based family! Well part of the family...😊
Great interview! ❤️
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank God for the good and virtuous people on this planet with compassionate hearts and minds who are willing to challenge the status quo 🩷
Eating my plant based lunch and watching one of my favorite couples and their son!
Wonderful! Can never get enough of Ann and Essy and family stories. Thank you!
🙂 Glad you enjoyed it - we think Ann and Essy are national treasures.
Thank you Dr Esselstyn, Ann and Rip for a wonderfully interesting video. Greetings to all of you from Melbourne, Australia.
Thank you so much for sharing!! Such a beautiful family. Love and prayers. Keep up the Wonderful healing message!
Thank you so much. I’ve never met your dad, maybe never will. But I believe he’s one of the people that saved by life. I’m not rich, I’m not famous, I’m not a celebrity. I’m just a guy who wants to live and wants to hang out with my family. Please thank him for me....
You can thank him yourself! Send us an email at hello@plantstrong.com and we'll forward it on your behalf. =)
I absolutely love this...hearing all the wonderful stories!
Glad you enjoy it!
Thanks for all this family does when it comes to our health.
I love your parents☺️
Thank you!
I live in Fort Erie and it's amazing to hear this story about the ice boom! :)
Could this family be any cooler?! The whole lot of them and grateful for all they do helping others. THANK YOU ALL!!!🌿
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I love all of you & feel blessed that I found you & originally Dr. John McDougall in the ‘80’s in northern CA!!! 💕🙏😇
What an absolute gem of a family!!! Having arugula, spinach and kale salad with balsamic vinegar... The lives you have touched is nothing but amazing.
Outstanding! Thank you for sharing this video!
I watched Forks over knives in 2016 it was life changing for me- thank you for standing up for what is right and for all of your hard work in trying to help people life happy healthy lives ❤️🙌
Great listening to both of them - you all are wonderful. Thanks
Thanks for listening - we're so glad you enjoyed.
Thank you for sharing your parents story. I always wanted to know that. In the scene of your parents having dinner at the Forks over knives movie, does your mom remember what the dressing was for the salad,? it looks fabulous and I would love to know. Thank you.
I’m sorry, I know you are not asking me and I don’t know the answer to your question but that scene had as big an impression on me as the rest of the film. The food looked 😍😍 I was Pescevegetarian at the time and the spread at end made me so hungry. I’m now obviously WFPB SOS free and follow Jane Esselstyn’s cooking TH-cam channel with Ann. 😃 their cookbook is on sale on Amazon it’s not dear and has a number of amazing dressings amongst other stellar recipes. Bon appétit! 💕
@@danishviking6254 Thank you for your response! I agree there are many good recipes in the cookbook which I have and is probably one of my most used cookbooks along with the PlantPure nation cookbook, another good one. If you have not already, please also watch PlantPure Nation. I love the cooking videos as well, Jane and Anne are amazing!
@@dinamariea61 I haven’t got the plantpurenation cookbook. I’ll check it out on Amazon. Thank you 🙏🏼. I can also recommend the engine 2 cookbook and the how not to die cookbook + the China study cookbook. These are the only cookbooks we use now. (Family of 6)
Such an amazing family! ❤️

Your family has impacted my life. I’ve learnt so much from you all. Fact that your foundation is in New York upstate. I relate to so much I know longer live there but I miss it so. Thanks for sharing keep up the good work
Thanks for sharing!!
Shows ambition, this family has! Love it! You don't see beams like those anymore, Our family farm had beams from the original forest growth. When Dad retired, he took the ceiling down and exposed the hand-hued beams. Love the snapshots of days gone by~ anymore coming up?
Thanks so much for watching! We may have a few more clips coming...
❤️❤️❤️
They are so cute
For 11 years, I’ve wondered what the white sauce was of the closing scene on FOK😂 if anyone knows, please share.
Do please share your lovely mother's recipes where she is serving salad out of with the huge salad bowl.
I wish the volume was higher. I can't hear hardly.
Hi Dolores, please check your sound settings in your TH-cam app or in your browser.
I can’t help but notice how grey or white all yalls hair is .. is this bcuZ of WFPB or hereditary?
It's a family trait :D
It makes me sad to see the western diet’s impact on Southeast Asia. So much dairy and meat now.
