When I was in college, I was told my cholesterol was nearly high. I knew that my mother had high cholesterol as well so is hereditary in my family. I was active, but my diet wasn’t the best and had gained some weight. I refused to believe that I would get heart disease or Diabetes like my family just because it was hereditary. I knew (I was studying nutrition as well) that I could change my lifestyle. So I did. I first went pescatarian, vegeterian, then vegan and more whole foods plant based (although not perfect). It has also helped me with my performance as a marathon runner and I couldn’t imagine going back and eating any other way. Thanks Trevor and others for creating this community for people like me to share our stories and impact more lives!
