In this episode of the Plant-Based Coaches Podcast, Rich and Dr. Suzanne Foxx welcome back Meg Morris to hear the continuation of her inspiring story. Meg shares how she transitioned her family from the Standard American Diet to a plant-based lifestyle, beginning with her own skepticism about its benefits. Her personal transformation—boosted by improved health and energy—prompted her to introduce the lifestyle to her family. For her birthday, she requested they watch the documentary The Game Changers, which sparked their curiosity and began their gradual shift. Meg used holidays and special occasions as opportunities to share plant-based resources, encouraging her family to embrace the change with transition foods and creative recipes like dairy-free cheese sauces, baked potato bars, and hearty chili.

Meg highlights her youngest son’s remarkable commitment to the lifestyle. As a college student, he adopted a routine of meal prepping with an Instapot and air fryer, crafting meals like tofu scrambles, hash browns, and chili. His dedication resulted in significant health improvements, including a weight loss of over 20 pounds. Meg underscores the power of focusing on adding delicious, nutrient-rich foods rather than the fear of giving up traditional ones. By gradually integrating plant-based habits and leading by example, her family experienced both health and mindset transformations. This episode serves as a heartfelt reminder that small steps and shared experiences can lead to life-changing outcomes for everyone.

In this heartfelt video, Meg shares her inspiring journey of transformation after discovering Chef AJ and the power of a Whole Food Plant-Based (WFPB) lifestyle. At 53, she had nearly given up on losing weight, but a battle with rosacea led her to change her diet—eliminating oil, alcohol, and excess salt. Three years later, Meg has lost 60-65 lbs, cleared her skin, and feels better than ever, describing it as "aging backwards." Despite challenges with her online Etsy store and navigating tough times, Meg is determined to keep going and dreams of becoming a health coach or public speaker, spreading the message of using food as medicine.

Be inspired by her story of resilience and health transformation!

Anthony Masiello is the Co-founder and CEO of Love.Life Telehealth, a national lifestyle telemedicine service focused on the prevention and reversal of disease, and optimizing and wellness, with lifestyle medicine.

Anthony has been working in healthcare for more than 25 years.  His career started in the 90s at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) doing bioinformatics work on the Human Genome Project.  He later shifted into Research and Development at Novartis Pharmaceuticals, where he was excited to contribute to the development of new disease therapies.

While working at Novartis, he transformed his own health and learned of a better way.  He shifted his career once again and is now 100% focused on providing access to medical services centered on the prevention and reversal of disease utilizing lifestyle medicine and whole food plant-based nutrition.

Anthony came to a plant-based lifestyle himself after being denied a 20-year term life insurance policy at age 33.  He was morbidly obese, weighing more than 360 pounds, medicated for high blood pressure, and suffering from psoriasis, eczema, migraine headaches, and sleep apnea. With his transition to a whole food plant-based diet and healthy lifestyle, Anthony lost 160 pounds and reversed all these conditions.  He has maintained that weight loss, and an incredible quality of life, for more than 16 years and counting.

He co-founded what is now Love.Life Telehealth in 2019 to make lifestyle medicine available to everyone.  He’s proud to enable patients to find the medical care they need to implement lifestyle changes that will truly improve their health, wellness, and quality of life, no matter where they live.

Anthony’s personal transformation has been featured on the Megyn Kelly Today show, on PBS, in The Huffington Post, in the bestselling book Eat to Live, and by Forks Over Knives, Runners World, and numerous magazines, web sites, radio shows, podcasts, and articles.
