#60 - Chef Charity Morgan Is Changing the Game in the NFL with Plant-Based Food Jul 25, 2018

Show notes

Charity Morgan is a plant-based chef who runs a meal service for NFL players.

Chef Charity is married to Tennessee Titans outside Linebacker, Derrick Morgan, and their family’s decision to transition to a plant-based diet was largely inspired by Derrick. After trying out a plant-based diet and finding it cured some of her own health problems, Charity instantly knew she wanted to use her culinary skills and training to make delicious plant-based food.

In this conversation, Charity dives into the meals she makes for players who are burning thousands of calories a day and shares real feedback she has gotten from the team. The Titans made it all the way to the playoffs last year and while Charity doesn’t take credit for the teams’ improvement … we can’t help but to think eating plant-based helped give them a bit of an edge.
