"I became a warrior in every way"

Diagnosed with high blood pressure, high cholesterol and type II diabetes, Steven Kravetz of Holyoke, Massachusetts, decided enough was enough. He reached out to me to help him on his journey to reverse his disease and to heal his body. The measures we took for Steven is not the route I would take with every client. This conversation is honest and raw and  illustrates how everyone of us is different. Steven dives into all the steps it took to reverse his diagnosis, eliminate most of his medication and drastically improve his life in just a few short months.

"Oh no, does this mean I’m going to be on a diet forever?" 

I did a recent deep dive into Noom for a recent podcast episode and it really touched a nerve. I got so many questions that I knew I had to scrutinize other popular diets on the market today. One of my amazing clients was a lifetime member with Weight Watchers and has such a common story. I know she will provide so much encouragement to you listeners.

Amanda is from the Seattle area and has been plant-based since middle school, over 25 years. She grew up in a dieting household without any understanding of how to eat in a balanced, healthy way. In her early twenties, she joined Weight Watchers. We explore the rules of this diet program and dissect how these rules effected her relationship with food and disrupted her ability to listen to her own body's wants, needs and cues.
