Feel Younger at Any Age: Dr. Kim Scheuer’s Plant-Based Path to Energy, Strength, and Joy


Listen Later

“I’m now in my sixties and I feel better than I did in my twenties. I was burned out and inflamed—then I changed my lifestyle, my weight and cholesterol plummeted, my energy soared, and I got my joy back.” - Dr. Kim Scheuer

Summary

What if getting healthy felt joyful—and actually stuck? In this energizing conversation, Kylie sits down with Dr. Kim Scheuer, a board-certified family and lifestyle medicine physician, who transformed her own life at 47 and now helps patients do the same. From “Milky Way vegetarian” to whole-food plant-based, Kim shares how she effortlessly lost ~50 pounds, slashed cholesterol, built strength (hello, 100+ push-ups), improved bone density, and found more happiness than ever. She breaks down how personalized lifestyle medicine, smart labs in context, and community support can reverse chronic conditions, enable safe de-prescribing, and make healthy choices the easy choices. Expect practical strategies, inspiring stories, and plenty of joy.
