After high stress and a diet of high salt and fats and being obese for many years, in 2016 I had four major strokes, in which I lost my ability to speak, drive and even ride my bike. I was told by all doctors I would never be able to do any of those activeites again, ever. Several weeks ago I began driving, which is making me free again after eight long years. I had bugun biking two years ago. Im off most of the 16 pills a day I was prescribed. My voice is accually returning. During my fight back I suffered 3 major setbacks. A bike accident and broken collar bone, two years ago a broken leg, and most recently a broken back. Im back to biking, and driving due to what the famous Linda Middlesworth taught me soon after my strokes. ” It’s the Food! It’s the Food! It’s the Food!!! I feel I’m truly, BACK FROM THE EDGE. You can also do this. Just try!

I went to college and became a registered nurse. As I was first working I wanted to understand about health. I was married and decided that working and raising children did not work for me. I choose to be a stay home mom and started reading health books. This took me on a very long journey of religion, traditions, and lies that needed to be removed from my perception. I am 72 now, divorced 18 years, retired, play league tennis on 2 leagues, writer of the book “Celebrating our Creators truth of love, life and light.” The second addition will be coming out in September, 2024 on Amazon. Since I was 32 I have been vegetarian and as I aged and internet became so accessible I learned from many people. The books that lead me to better health in my 30 and 40 was Fit for Life, Braggs books, The Essene Gosple of Peace, Mucusless Diet Healing System, and Natural Hygiene by Herbert M Shelton. I was very much a student of the bible as I was always looking for truth. Thankfully, King David left the aleph-tav in Psalms 119 which led me to study the light letters until I was released from the hold of the lies of the world and all its boxes. Health, truth, peace, love, light, life all are from our Creator and not a manmade god of religion. I live a simple quiet life, sharing when memory and opportunity shows itself to be beneficial and healthy. I take no medications, no vaccines, and have no medical doctor.

ive experienced overall wellbeing after transation

Thirty six years ago, I would have died. I was only 44 years old and had just been diagnosed with severe heart disease, high blood pressure, Thyroid Cancer, pre diabetes and I was almost 55 lbs. overweight. I was an aerobic instructor teaching 25 classes of aerobics per week. I thought I was eating a healthy diet of chicken, cheese, yogurt and ice cream. Luckily for me, my then new neighbor told me about Dr. John McDougall and I read his book. I could not believe that his patients were all getting over cancer, heart disease, diabetes and all chronic diseases. I jumped right in and never went back for more radiation and now I have perfect health. I just had to change to a starch based, whole food plant exclusive diet without oil. Now, at 80 I have great health and energy and still teach aerobics.

I rid myself of health anxiety 7 years ago and changed my perception to risk of non communicable diseases. I am 100% plant based and 90% whole foods plant based. My family eats and lives like this too. Its truly empowering.

I actually did it! I broke free from eating animals and animal products! And I love it!

So many things have healed in my body since going plant based. My dry skin and scalp have healed. My digestive issues have improved so much and my blood pressure is healthy now.

I will share only one of the many benefits a WFPB diet gave me. For over 15 years I strenuously trained in those chi kung and tai chi exercises without ever being able to settle and build up, harness and circulate my mind/energy/chi throughout my body in a natural, easy and smooth way. All this started to change when I adopted a WFPB lifestyle almost 4 years ago 🙂 I can now teach what I learned, finally…

I have recently started while plant based diet and lost 14 kgs in just four months. Also, my sleep has improved. I am getting better at energy level and memory retention.

Following a wfpb oil free diet has changed my life for the better. I’m confident this is the optimal diet for health and longevity.

Going vegan has changed my life…literally!

I started a WFPB diet last October of 2021 due to becoming more and more overweight after my first child was born. I know I needed to make a change and be the best version of myself for my kid and also my wife and family. I’m still learning so much but have gained a tremendous amount of positive feedback from this new lifestyle.

I watched my parents with deformed hands from arthritis. My dad is suffering from DM II, as did so many of his family members. I looked my hands, finger joints hurt and my knees crepitus. My feet were burning and toe nails curl. I’m only my fifties and I was feeling old and depressed. I used to have constipation, frequency of every 3 to 7 days with lots of bloating. I transitioned to Whole Foods plant based diet over 10 years. Was stuck eating fish for a while because my husband’s doctor keep telling him he needs fish for his cholesterol. Felt much better now. I have more energy, I sleep better, joints no longer crepitus nor inflamed, regular bowel movements daily, anxiety went away, and my feet are no longer burning. I can go running once again �

I lost over 100 pounds at age 60 and eliminated all health problems by eating Whole Food Plant Based and following Chef AJ who helped me learn to make healthy delicious for free on YouTube.
