Do you feel weighed down and burdened by constant medications and anxiety around your medical diagnoses? Are you wondering if there is any natural holistic way to drop your blood sugar levels to normal, lift your depression, help you drop pounds, as well as improve your energy levels and mood?   Yes, there IS a way and it is simpler than you think – by focusing on eating high quality nourishing natural whole plant-based foods and moving more, your health can improve dramatically. How? In this episode, I'll share part 1 of a fascinating interview with my special guest, Sandra Y. A member of my Community, Sandra was told initially by her doctor and other health professionals that she would need to live with diabetes for life and that there would be no cure.   However, Sandra - after a bout of further depression over her new diagnosis - decided to do her own research and came across plant-based eating. What she didn't expect though, was the amazing healing journey she found herself on when she made the change to a plant-powered lifestyle, one that would not only improve her diabetes, but cause her to drop nearly 50 pounds, lift her depression and more…all within 6 months of switching to a whole food plant-based diet! Listen in for the details of her amazing health journey!     Contact -> healthnow@plantnourished.com Learn -> www.plantnourished.com Enjoy 1:1 Coaching Support -> https://www.plantnourished.com/coachingwaitlist Join -> Plant-Powered Life Transformation Course: www.plantnourished.com/ppltcourse Get Free 15-Minute Strategy Call -> www.plantnourished.com/strategycall Free Resource -> 7 Ways to Test-Drive a Plant-Based Diet: www.plantnourished.com/testdrive     Have a question about plant-based diets that you would like answered on the Plant Based Eating Made Easy Podcast?

Featuring Nutritarian and Whole-Food Plant-Based inspiration, mouthwatering SOS-free recipe highlights, and a spotlight on NYC restaurants proving that oil-free, salt-free, refined-sugar-free dining isn't extreme — it's deliciously sane.

At 26 years old, Chris Wark woke up from a colonoscopy and heard words no purpose-driven Christian expects to hear: “You have stage 3 colon cancer.”What happened next is the part that will stop you.After surgery, he was told chemo was the only path forward. His first meal in the hospital? A sloppy joe. His surgeon's only food advice? “Just don't lift anything heavier than a beer.”Chris walked out and made a prayerful decision that sounded “insane” to his oncologist… and then rebuilt his life with the simple, daily choices that have helped him thrive for over 20 years.In this episode of Power On Plants, Chris of ChrisBeatCancer talks straight with Jarrod and Anita about:    •    the “chemo train” and how fear steals control    •    the victimhood message that leaves people powerless when faced with           a "chronic" diagnosis    •    why family history is not a life sentence    •    the daily routine that made lasting change doable (including his famous            giant salad that he ate daily)    •    “truth is simple, lies are complicated” (and what to do with that)If you're a Christian leader or Kingdom entrepreneur carrying real responsibility, this conversation is the hopeful health reset you've been praying for. This episode shares Chris's personal story and is not medical advice. Always talk with your healthcare provider about diagnosis and treatment decisions.

Type 2 diabetes affects more than 422 million people worldwide, yet many don't realize that it can be reversed with the right approach. This figure comes from the World Health Organization (WHO) and unfortunately, continues to increase.  Lewis Bertus, PA-C, is on a mission to change that. As the founder of Diabetes180, Lewis has helped countless individuals transform their health using a low-fat, whole-food, plant-based approach. Featured on the NHA Health Science Podcast with Dr. Frank Sabatino, Lewis shares his groundbreaking methods and personal journey, which combines professional expertise with deeply rooted values. A Holistic Start: From Theology to Medicine Lewis's foundation in holistic health began early, growing up in the Seventh-day Adventist faith, which emphasizes the connection between physical and spiritual well-being. His undergraduate studies in theology further shaped his belief in holistic healing, and his early career in community outreach gave him firsthand experience addressing preventable health challenges. “I grew up understanding that if you nourish the body correctly, it can heal itself,” Lewis said, crediting his upbringing for introducing him to plant-based principles long before they were mainstream. Personal Experience Sparks Professional Mission The inspiration behind Diabetes180 came from a personal challenge—helping his wife reverse her diabetes. Despite following conventional dietary advice and even experimenting with a keto diet, her condition persisted. Frustrated but determined, Lewis dove deep into research and implemented a low-fat, whole-food, plant-based diet. “Within six weeks, her blood sugar normalized,” Lewis shared. “Her success became the catalyst for what is now the Diabetes180 program.” Breaking Down Diabetes: Addressing the Root Cause Contrary to popular belief, Lewis explained, type 2 diabetes isn't caused by carbohydrates. Instead, he highlighted how excess dietary fat creates insulin resistance. Excess dietary fat creates a barrier that prevents insulin from effectively delivering glucose into the cells. By focusing on a low-fat, whole-food, plant-based diet, clients in the Diabetes180 program can significantly enhance their insulin sensitivity and take meaningful steps toward reversing diabetes. The Diabetes180 Program: A Path to Transformation Lewis's three-month program offers a comprehensive approach to reversing diabetes, focusing on: Dietary Transition: Guidance on adopting a low-fat, plant-based diet. Mindset Coaching: Practical tools for managing stress and fostering a positive outlook. Exercise Recommendations: Customized plans incorporating both aerobic and resistance training. Lewis's wife, a former diabetic, co-leads the program, bringing personal insight and emotional support to clients navigating similar journeys. Tackling Sugar Cravings and Integrating Fasting Addressing sugar cravings effectively requires a complete dietary reset, as gradual changes often prove less successful. The program also incorporates intermittent fasting as a powerful strategy for clients with persistent insulin resistance. By synchronizing eating patterns with natural circadian rhythms, fasting promotes faster recovery and supports improved metabolic health. Bridging the Gap Between Patients and Physicians One of the biggest challenges Lewis faces is overcoming the widespread misconception that carbohydrates cause diabetes. By educating clients—and sometimes their physicians—on the science of insulin resistance, Lewis helps pave the way for sustainable health improvements. Lewis ensures that clients understand his role as a supportive coach and resource, complementing the care provided by their primary healthcare team rather than replacing it. This collaborative approach empowers clients to make lifestyle changes while maintaining the guidance of their existing medical professionals. Ready to Reverse Diabetes?

What is the best diet for someone with diabetes?   Dr. Thomas Campbell shares his research comparing the DASH Diet and a whole food plant-based diet. Their effects on insulin resistance and blood sugar levels are then examined.   Although both diets showed improvement, the participants experienced superior results while eating the WFPB diet. Dr. Campbell explains why when he joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast.   In the Interview:   Plant-Based Diet for Diabetes Management: The interview emphasizes the effectiveness of a whole food plant-based diet in managing diabetes, contrasting it with other dietary approaches like the keto diet, which merely suppresses symptoms rather than addressing underlying issues.   Influence of Family Legacy: Dr. Campbell reflects on the profound influence of his father, Dr. T. Colin Campbell who co-authored The China Study, on his career choice in medicine, emphasizing that his motivation stemmed from passion rather than pressure.   Challenges in Medical Nutrition Education: He highlights a significant gap in knowledge among medical professionals regarding diet and its effects on health, particularly in treating conditions like heart disease and diabetes.   Social Norms and Health: Dr. Campbell discusses how social norms contribute to unhealthy eating habits, making it difficult for individuals to change their diets despite knowing the health risks associated with poor nutrition.   Patient Education and Openness: Dr. Campbell stresses the importance of patient openness to dietary changes and the need for healthcare providers to engage in meaningful conversations rather than overwhelming patients with information.   Join Chuck and Dr. Bulsiewicz at Dr. Barnard's Bon Voyage Bash in Miami on March 7! — — SHOW LINKS — — Join Chuck and Dr. B in Miami https://www.pcrm.org/events/bon-voyage-party-2025 — — — T.
