Chris's Story

I’m a single dad of a teen and knew my health was declining.  I am a typical, successful middle-aged male; however, I was deeply worried. My weight was steadily increasing and I was suffering from night sweats, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, plantar fasciitis, and serious tightness in my chest. My doctor told me that my declining health was “the result of aging” and I’d have to be on meds for the rest of my life. I wasn’t ready for that and had a gut feeling that it wasn’t true.

Then, one night, I plopped down on the couch, turned on the TV, and saw Dr. Fuhrman on PBS. His presentation, 3 Steps to Incredible Health hit me just at the right moment.  I watched the whole program, bought Eat To Live, and read the entire book the next day. I immediately committed 100 percent to Nutritarian eating, cold turkey; complete with cleaning out the entire kitchen.

The best part about my change is that I’m no longer worried about leaving my daughter without a dad.  My high blood pressure, high cholesterol, night sweats, plantar fasciitis, and chest pains are all gone, I am not taking drugs, plus, I feel much more confident about the way I look.
