Food For Life

Back in 2018, I was faced with some revelations about my health. I found that my blood pressure was incredibly high, something that made sense given the fact that I carried a bunch of extra weight. What followed was some conversations with doctors about how I could get it under control with medication, always ending with me asking if there was a way to get off that medication someday. My inquiry was met with skepticism, though the doctor begrudgingly mentioned that if I lost a bunch of weight and made lifestyle changes, I "might" be able to make some steps. November of that year I began to change my life. I lost over 100lbs, made tons of healthy lifestyle changes, took up running, and adopted a Whole-food Plant-based lifestyle in January of 2020. Having been a cook since the age of 3 at my mom's side, I loved finding new recipes that fit with my new lifestyle.

Last year, my amazing wife gave me a gift, that of the tuition for the Food for Life Instructor program through the Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine. I completed the training in November. The idea is to promote a low-fat, whole-food, vegan diet by giving cooking/nutrition classes. Coupled with my teaching and coaching experience, I look forward to helping even more people to change their lives through healthier choices.
