Plant Based Eating for Health

070: Heart Transformation with Dr. Akil Taher


Listen Later

From a bona-fide couch-potato to climbing Mount Kailash and Mount Kilimanjaro, skydiving, finishing several marathons, riding in a 100-mile bike ride and making a complete change of diet, Dr. Akil Taher is living proof that you're never too old to turn your life around.

At the age of 73, Dr. Taher is just getting started. Prior to changing from the S.A.D. (Standard American Diet) to a 100% whole food, plant based diet, void of all animal and dairy, Dr. Taher assumed his health was the result of genetics.

At 56 he had serious health conditions which led to open heart surgery at 61. Dr. Taher transformed from a middle-aged practicing physician with a dangerously bad diet into a vital, energetic athlete, ever seeking new challenges and adventures.

Prior to changing his eating, he dealt with a number of health issues including constipation, never-ending flu symptoms, headaches, a perforated colon and diverticulitis. He experienced multiple hospital stays, but it was his open heart surgery at the age of 61 that was what he calls his "inflection" point.

This is when he went from ordinary to extraordinary and has not looked back.
