I went Whole Foods plant based just over 4 years ago after watching Forks over Knifes. I had been mostly vegetarian since I was a teenager because I am a huge animal lover. After removing dairy from my diet my lifelong asthma, horrific heartburn, painful IBS and unexplained hives all disappeared!! All of which I went to various medical doctors for years for treatment and they just prescribed strong drugs that did not work. Once I discovered the horrific cruelty involved in the dairy industry ( watch dairy is scary) it was easy to stop consuming it. I am healthier than I have ever been and run faster than I did 20 years ago. I also beat my 12 year old boys up steep hills on my mountain bike!!
