How adopting a plant-based lifestyle and a mindful eating practice allowed this 63 year old actor to shed over 50 pounds, reverse his diabetes, and cut his medications in half

"My doctor called me and said 'you have cured your diabetes'” 

Stories like J.T.'s are exactly the reason I started this podcast. Just like so many of us, J.T. did not grow up eating for nutrition. A self-proclaimed "starving artist", he would scarf down whatever food was available as he ran to his next acting gig. As he got older, he was diagnosed with high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes. After adopting a plant-based diet, a mindful eating practice and incorporating gentle movement into his life, now at the age of 63, he has been able to shed over 50 pounds, reverse his diabetes, and cut his high blood pressure and cholesterol medications in half. His enthusiasm is infectious and I could have talked with him for hours! 

J.T. is an actor, with credits in films, TV, audio and the stage. He is also a teacher of Tai Chi, Qigong, and Meditation.
