In this episode of Veggie Doctor Radio, I talk with Alyssa Sikora, a plant-based mama and zero-waste and slow-living advocate. She has been practicing this lifestyle for a while now and she has some great tips and ideas that you may consider implementing in your own household.   About featured guest: Alyssa Sikora grew up in Mississippi, where she graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science from the University of Mississippi. After college, she moved to Washington, DC to work in International Relations. During that time, she received her Master’s Degree in International Relations from the American Military University.
