Ever wondered if going plant-based could fuel an Olympic dream?

In this episode, I sit down with Olympic silver medalist cyclist 🚴‍♀️ and Executive Director and Founder of @Switch4Good , Dotsie Bausch, to uncover how she defied the odds by embracing a plant-based diet.

Dotsie Bausch lives by the Switch4Good motto—Live better. Do more. Dairy-free—and is on a mission to educate and empower others to do the same. She speaks passionately around the world to spread her message about the positive impacts a plant-based lifestyle has on animals, humans, and the environment.

Her popular TEDx Talk, “Olympic Level Compassion,” has garnered over 175,000 views, serving as a catalyst for change for thousands of people. Dotsie shares her journey from her first steps into cycling to achieving world-class success, all while ditching dairy and going fully plant-powered.

Despite being told it would hold her back, she transformed her body, gained strength, and pushed her limits to reach the podium at the 2012 London Olympic Games. She also opens up about the physical changes she experienced, her decision to focus on dairy-free living, and what advice she'd give to up-and-coming athletes.

🌱 Listen in to hear how Dotsie not only conquered the world of sports but now inspires others to live and perform dairy-free with Switch4Good.
