"Language is declarative in nature so if you say I can’t go without meat, you can’t"

At 61 years of age, and 350 lbs, Fred experienced divine intervention when he came upon a book about plant-based eating which sent him down his path to sustainable wellness. Now with over 100 pounds lost, Fred Ford is an author, speaker, and life coach.  He helps people achieve improved health and reach ideal weight through a coaching program called "Think and Grow Thin."

Fred is a walking billboard of why DIETS DO NOT WORK and how mindset, our relationship with food and what we put into our bodies all must work together in order for us to achieve sustainability in wellness. Get a notebook y'all because you will want to remember this episode!
