Throughout the livestream she samples and describes multiple dishes (beets, avocado with marinated red onion, mung-bean-style noodles, kale mashed potatoes, tofu stir-fry, vegan cheesecake and other desserts), answers viewers' questions about health and diet, mentions recent INR and diabetes management, and interacts with her cat Sam and viewers.
