On today's Truth to Power, we bring you highlights from the third hour of our live broadcast, including keynote speaker:

Dotsie Bausch
Vegan Olympic Medalist, Founder Switch4Good

Since concluding a prolific professional cycling career that produced a silver medal at the 2012 London Olympic Games, eight U.S. national championships, two Pan American gold medals and a world record, Kentucky-born Dotsie Bausch has become a powerful influencer for plant-based eating for athletes and non-athletes alike. Named one of the top 20 most influential vegans in the world by VegNews magazine, she uses her soapbox, and her degree in plant-based nutrition, to advocate for dietary justice, planet earth and animals.

Bausch is a star of the Netflix documentary Personal Gold: An Underdog Story and the 2017 documentary The Game Changers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Game_Changers).

She is the founder of Switch4Good (https://switch4good.org/), an evidence-based nonprofit disrupting the disinformation Big Dairy feeds the public, works with health experts, athletes, social justice warriors, enlightened policymakers, and progressive corporations to promote ethical lifestyles and widespread behavioral change related to how we eat.

Bausch is regarded as one of the top authorities on both the performance and health benefits of a dairy-free diet. She also co-hosts a top US nutrition podcast, Switch4Good.

Truth to Power airs every Friday at 9pm, Saturday at 11am, and Sunday at 4pm on Louisville's grassroots, community radio station, Forward Radio 106.5fm WFMP and live streams at http://forwardradio.org
