We recently connected with Don And Bev Fries/bow and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Don and Bev, really happy you were able to join us today and we’re looking forward to sharing your story and insights with our readers. Let’s start with the heart of it all – purpose. How did you find your purpose?
We wanted to give back to our community in a way that truly makes a difference. What we know about a whole food plant-based lifestyle is that it works for the good in multiple ways – improving human health, improving the health of our planet, and ending animal suffering. Educating and supporting people in adopting this lifestyle became our mission.
Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?
Our Healthy World Vitality Plan (hwvitality.com) provides education and support for people to adopt lifestyle practices that enable them to live the healthiest, most vital lives possible. We do this through a network of self-sustaining learning groups focused on the evidence-based lifestyle elements of whole food plant-based nutrition, exercise, inner harmony, restorative sleep and community engagement. We offer our members two 11-week Intensive educational sessions each year, along with monthly “Lunch ‘n Learn” sessions every month. Each of our Intensive groups is led by a trained coach who is committed to the lifestyle we promote.
It is very rewarding to see people’s lives and health change for the better, and their enthusiasm and gratitude for the empowerment and knowledge they have to improve their health outcomes.
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
Commitment to community and to improving the lives of our fellow humans
Compassion for all sentient beings
Concern for the environment
Become educated about what truly matters and what can impact individuals and the world at large for the better. Be open to thinking and living outside the standard American lifestyle. Give yourself the gift of a membership in the Healthy World Vitality Plan and begin the journey of learning in one of our online 11-week small group sessions (starting in September and March each year).
Tell us what your ideal client would be like?
Our ideal client (member) is someone who is committed to learning how to live their most vital and successful life, and who is open to working with others to achieve this and supporting others on their own vitality journey.
