Lisa Terauchi (Part 1) – Boost Health

Lisa Terauchi, founder of a fabulous plant-based restaurant in Hong Kong called Confusion, joined me on episode 38 of the BOOST Health Podcast. The restaurant, the food, and the way she manages it are all fantastic, but the path that led her to opening it is perhaps the most inspirational and surprising. In this first part of the series with Lisa, we discuss how she ignored her doctor’s advice and attacked liver disease with plants, each of our stories of how we removed animal products from our diet and how we felt, gut health, inflammation, and how your skin is a mouth.
