About Our Guest:
After concluding a prolific professional cycling career that produced a medal at theย 2012 London Olympic Games, eight US national championships, two Pan American gold medals, and a world record, Dotsie Bauschย has become a powerful influencer for plant-based eating for athletes and non-athletes alike. Named byย Choose Vegย as one of the โTop 20 Badass Veg Women Who Are Making History,โ she utilizes her degree in plant-based nutrition to inform her impassioned messages as an advocate on behalf of animals.
Never one to shy away from facing staggering odds โ just like she did in the Olympics while riding forย Team USA, whose unlikely and triumphant story is chronicled in the Netflix documentaryย โPersonal Goldโ โ her latest initiative is the disruption of the dairy milk industry through an athlete-driven movement calledย Switch4Good. The inaugural Switch4Good television commercial features six Olympians from four different countries and proves that cowโs milk is not part of a high-performance diet. The ground-breaking commercial aired onย NBCย during theย 2018 Winter Olympic Gamesย closing ceremonies and onย ABCย during theย Academy Awards broadcast. View the commercial atย https://Switch4Good.org. Bausch is one of the stars of the upcoming filmย The Game Changers (https://gamechangersmovie.com/), which chronicles the story of the worldโs most dangerous myth. Directed by Academy Award-winner Louie Psihoyosย and executive produced by Oscar-winnerย James Cameron, The Game Changers will be released to worldwide audiences in late fall 2018.
Long before embodying radiant health and becoming an influential game-changer, Bausch struggled for years with severe eating disorders and a recreational drug habit, that combined, led to a suicide attempt. It was during her recovery that she discovered her gift and love for the bike.
Bausch speaks passionately around the world, spreading her message about the numerous benefits โ humane, nutritional, and environmental โ of plant-based eating. Her popular TEDx Talk, โOlympic Level Compassion,โ has garnered over 175,000 views and has been a catalyst of change for thousands of people.
