  • I Lowered My Blood Pressure and Changed My Life - The Unexpected Benefits of a Plant-based Diet
    Jul 28 2023

    In six short months, I believe I've given myself the gift of a lifetime. Can you guess what it is? It's a healthier future, which will likely give me some extra revolutions around the sun!

    In January, 2023, while undergoing cancer treatments, I was seeking a more holistic means of dealing with the debilitating pain I experienced from systemic inflammation. It was so bad that I couldn't walk down the stairs in my house. I could barely get out of bed in the morning, and I lost enjoyment in my daily life. The pain was overwhelming and depressing, and I needed to do something other than continue to poison myself with bottle after bottle of Ibuprofen.

    In this episode, you'll hear what I did not only to feel radically better, but also the incredible and unexpected benefits I've experienced that have literally changed my current and future health. Life is good again, and the future's so bright... Yep, I'm wearin' my shades! :)

    Pull up a chair, and I'll put on the kettle. We've got a lot of good things to talk about!
