Patient Stories

I started my whole food plant-based (WFPB) diet as a fit 34-year-old who exercised regularly. I just had blood work done, only to find my cholesterol was very high, and my blood pressure was not ideal. My father died from a heart attack at age 52, and my results were somewhat of a wake-up call.

I’m a retired general practitioner with over 50 years of medical practice. I followed the guidelines I learned to promote healthy living. Yet, my personal journey revealed something astonishing.

Discover how my 30-day experiment with whole food plant-based eating led to transformative health benefits, improved fitness, and a renewed sense of vitality.
