In this inspiring episode, I had the opportunity to speak with Doug Schmidt, a teacher who transformed his life and health after suffering a "widowmaker" heart attack at the age of 49. Doug's journey from a diet of steaks, cheeses, and ice cream to a whole-food, plant-based diet not only led him to lose 60 pounds within months but also allowed him to stop taking heart medications and even run marathons.

During our conversation, Doug shares his incredible story, including how he was dubbed the "sexiest vegan over 50" and inspired 1,300 students to follow in his footsteps by launching a 10-day plant-based diet challenge in his school district in Rochester, New York. Doug talks about his favorite meals, snacks, and tips for those considering making the switch to a plant-based lifestyle.

If you're looking for motivation to make a significant change in your diet and health or are simply curious about the benefits of adopting a plant-based lifestyle, this episode is a must-listen. Join me as we learn from Doug's remarkable journey and discover how a healthier diet can lead to a better, more fulfilling life.
