In this episode, we are joined by Adam Guthrie, who shares his inspiring journey from an unhealthy lifestyle to vibrant health and happiness, emphasising the benefits of a whole food plant-based diet.

 

Adam recounts his life before his heart attack, describing his sedentary lifestyle and reliance on junk food to cope with stress. A pivotal moment at age 39, when he suffered a heart attack, prompted a major lifestyle change. Adam discusses heart attack survival statistics and the importance of lifestyle medicine. He explains what constitutes a healthy cholesterol range and how giving up dairy helped him achieve it.

A key theme is the connection between diet and mental health. Adam explains how plant-based foods boost happiness by nourishing our gut microbiome, while processed foods lead to depression. He shares practical advice on transitioning to a healthier lifestyle, emphasising gradual changes, not dwelling on setbacks, and focusing on nutrient-rich, low-calorie foods.

Adam also shares the health risks and benefits of consuming oil, his approach to fasting, and the significance of surrounding ourselves with supportive people. He offers guidance for those wanting to change their lifestyle while living with family members who may not share the same health goals.

Feel inspired to be healthier, and discover how you can make meaningful changes in your life.
