A couple years ago I went to my Dr for my annual checkup. I have always been relatively healthy (or so I thought) but was surprised to hear him tell me my cholesterol and blood pressure were approaching concerning levels and I would have to start thinking of going on medication to control these. My wife has a degree in Nutrition and is a Certified Plant-Based Nutrition Specialist (CPBNS). She has been Vegetarian or Vegan since she was diagnosed with breast cancer 15 years ago. She was very opposed to me going on medication and convinced me to switch to a Vegan Lifestyle. Six weeks later I returned to the Dr and my cholesterol had dropped from 210 to 150 and my blood pressure was nearing normal. My Dr was shocked and said "Whatever you are doing, keep it up". Now 2 years later I am healthier and happier than ever. I am a believer.
My career has been in the field of IT. I have been providing technology solutions to some of the biggest companies including General Motors, TransUnion and Pfizer. I decided to combine my new passion with my technical expertise thereby creating Plant-Based Living. Here at Plant-Based Living we faithfully believe in not only the substantial health benefits achieved through a Plant-Based way of eating, but also the way this lifestyle supports a more sustainable planet.
