NBSV 231: Vegan Olympian Dotsie Bausch on plant-based fuel, founding Switch4Good, and getting non-dairy milk into school lunches

Dotsie Bausch went from hospitalization due to an eating disorder to standing on the Olympic podium as a fully vegan athlete. She was the oldest in her discipline to ever take the Olympic podium, and she gained ten pounds of muscle for the switch from road to track cycling (all powered by plants, of course). We trace that arc, then get into how an anti-dairy ad that the dairy industry got pulled from NBC sparked her nonprofit Switch4Good, and the fight she's leading now to get plant milk into US school lunches (including the wild stat that nearly a third of school milk cartons get thrown out unopened). Switch4Good ran a successful campaign to get Starbucks to drop its plant milk uncharge, and runs many initiatives for kids, college students, athletes, pediatricians, and more.
