The Eat This Podcast with Dr. Alan Desmond

Overcoming Violence with Forgiveness: The Inspiring Story of John Woods


Listen Later

In today’s Bite-Sized episode, I’m sharing a powerful conversation with John Woods, founder of Linwoods Health Foods and sponsor of this podcast.

John exemplifies many of the attributes we recently explored with Dr. Gemma Newman, showing how resilience, healthy habits, and compassion can lead to profound positive change.  Today we cover:

✔️ John’s health transformation in his 40s after a serious heart scare.  
✔️ The diet and lifestyle changes that have kept him thriving into his 80s.  
✔️ His incredible experiences during The Troubles in Northern Ireland, including surviving an assault and choosing immediate forgiveness.  

This is an excerpt from a live interview that really took me by surprise. Enjoy!
