Anyone involved in the plant-based lifestyle knows about the Campbell legacy, including Dr. T. Colin Campbell, Dr. Nelson Campbell, founder of PlantPure Nation, and our guest for this episode of the Health Science Podcast, Kim Campbell.

Kim Campbell, the spouse of Nelson and daughter-in-law of T. Colin, is a renowned plant-based chef. She is passionate about making healthy, easy-to-prepare foods accessible to all. She stresses the importance of using easily obtainable ingredients, such as those found at her local Super Walmart. Kim also shares insights on essential kitchen tools and gadgets, highlighting the value of a well-equipped kitchen for an enjoyable cooking experience.

Kim’s interest in nutrition and health predates her connection with the Campbells. Her love for cooking and desire to be involved in the medical field led her to explore nutrition programs and be inspired by T. Colin Campbell’s research documented in The China Study. She embraced a plant-based lifestyle even before meeting her husband, Dr. Nelson Campbell.

During the conversation, Kim discusses her involvement in PlantPure Nation, a grassroots movement focused on spreading awareness about plant-based nutrition. As the Director of Culinary Education, she shared about the challenges in passing legislation to promote plant-based eating.

Kim emphasizes the role of food in health and how PlantPure Nation aims to educate communities through immersion programs and local projects.

Additionally, Kim shares her involvement in managing social media accounts for PlantPure Chef, PlantPure Nation, and PlantPure Communities. Through these channels, she shares plant-based recipes, tips, and updates about PlantPure initiatives.

During the interview, Kim introduces a new product called PlantPure Pack, consisting of various sauce mixes accompanied by a recipe book. These packs provide convenience and versatility in creating flavorful plant-based meals. She expresses her enthusiasm for future endeavors, including immersive programs and cooking schools promoting plant-based cooking and health.

Kim encourages listeners and viewers to explore her cookbook, engage with the PlantPure community, and embrace plant-based cooking with a forgiving mindset. She emphasizes the importance of connection, learning from mistakes, and continuously improving in the kitchen.
