In this episode we interview Anthony Masiello who successfully used a whole food plant based diet to assist with losing over 11st.
One of the most inspiring parts of Anthony’s story is how it took a life-altering event such as being turned down for a life insurance policy while still in his 30’s for him to understand he needed to make a 180 degree shift in his life. Almost overnight he went from a 17-year career in the pharmaceutical industry to realizing there had to be a better way to live for him and his family. During his time eating meat and dairy he became morbidly obese, was medicated for high blood pressure, and suffering from psoriasis, eczema, migraine headaches, and sleep apnea. With his transition to a whole food plant-based diet and healthy lifestyle, Anthony lost 160 lbs. and reversed all these conditions. Basically, Anthony was sick and tired of being sick and tired.
His commitment to a whole food plant based diet and lifestyle allowed him to basically become an entirely different person. He has maintained that weight loss, optimal health, and an incredible quality of life for more than 16 years and counting. Anthony shares with us the impetus for his lifestyle change, the challenges and the opportunities and goes into detail about the positive health effects eating a WFPB diet and maintaining a healthy lifestyle has made. He is on a mission to dramatically shift the healthcare focus from pill-based management to the prevention and reversal of chronic disease by enabling millions of people to implement lifestyle changes that will truly improve the quality of their lives.
