diabetes and hypertension, are directly
related to the food we eat. Studies suggest
that up to 70% of chronic disease could be
prevented by making lifestyle changes, with
diet changes being of greatest importance.

of our planet and its natural resources. The
shift from a predominantly plant-based,
low-calorie, nutrient-dense diet to one

symptoms of disease, yet most conventional
medical treatments fail to address the root
cause our diet. Iidas journey back to health using a dietary
approach is remarkable and inspiring. Yet
it should not come as a surprise. We have
known for decades that many common
