Rich Holman is a vibrant 80-year-old and a dedicated advocate against sugar consumption. After experiencing a health crisis linked to metabolic syndrome, he uncovered the significant dangers sugar poses to chronic diseases. In his book, Killing You Softly, Holman shares his personal journey of recovery and emphasizes the urgent need to address sugar's impact on public health.

Holman's journey began with dire health issues, including high blood pressure and chronic fatigue. By eliminating sugar and processed foods from his diet, he saw remarkable improvements in just a week, ultimately becoming medication-free. His experiences motivated him to explore the science behind sugar's effects and to inform others about the misleading practices of the food industry regarding sugar's health risks.

Holman champions the importance of informed consent regarding dietary choices, urging consumers to scrutinize food labels. He highlights the historical context of sugar’s rise in diets, illustrating how it became a staple. By educating people on these issues, Holman seeks to ignite critical discussions about nutrition and the importance of reducing sugar consumption.

This week, you’ll learn how a medical crisis helped Rich make lifestyle changes, if sugar in “moderation” is real or a myth, and healthy options instead of a sugar-filled diet.
