September 30, 2020 25 ~ Andrew Taylor ~ How a year full of potatoes brought Andrew from an Overweight Food Addict to an Aspiring Doctor
Andrew was a former junior Australian Champion kayaker. Since that time Andrew had an unhealthy relationship with food. In 2015 he tried every diet on the planet. This left him in despair after every attempt failed and he still weighed 333lbs.

Andrew realized his behaviours were similar to that of an alcoholic. He had a horrible addiction to food. Logically Andrew thought that he should treat his food addiction the same way any other addiction. Through abstinence or as close as one can get. Using his degree in science he spent some time researching the perfect food. Just before the new year of 2016, Andrew stumbled upon potatoes and his life has never been the same since.

September 25, 2020 24 ~ Fiohann Dover ~ From A Dark Past To Budding Nutritional Expert
Fiohann was born and raised in the UK. His parents were free spirits and jumped locations often. While still, young Fiohann’s parents separated from one another. His father stayed in the UK while his Mother whisked him and his sister off to Spain. It was hard for them to adjust to a foreign country. On top of that, the separation led his mother down a dark path of alcoholism. This not only hurt Fiohann but endangered the lives of him and his sister.

Despite the past. Today Fiohann is a budding nutritional expert with a lethal Double Leg Takedown. Spending 12 hours a week in the gym he prides himself on his Jiu-Jitsu Skills. Throwing himself into martial arts may have been the best decision his mother ever made. As usual, we don't want to give his story away. Please sit back and listen as the Englishman shares some of the hardships he's had to face in life.

May 26, 2020 20 ~ Dr Rigo Keffereputz ~ From Med School Graduate to Naturopathic Physician
Dr. Rigo Kefferputz was well on his way toward a career in traditional medicine when during his interview with prospective schools, something dawned on him. His epiphany came when he was continually asked about his approach toward treating patients. He became disenchanted with the medical system and the way to practice. Dr. Kefferputz shared his struggles with his mother, who introduced him to the world of naturopathic medicine. That introduction was all he needed to discover his true calling: to become a naturopathic physician. Dr. Kefferputz is no stranger to the principles of naturopathic medicine. Growing up in Germany, the use of plant medicine in day-to-day life was common practice, as was knowing the importance of eating good, healthy, whole foods.
