Septuagenarian, Dr. Akil Taher shares his personal journey from Cardiovasular Disease to health and wellness and how living a fully plant based Vegan lifestyle not only improved his overall health, it also cured several chronic ailments
On this weeks Episode I’m honored to share the conversation I had with Dr. Akil Taher who is still a practicing physician and who in 2009 at the age of 61 discovered he had cardiovascular disease that would require cardiac bypass surgery!
Incredibly only a year later he ran his first full marathon and followed it up a year later by climbing to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro!
Dr. Taher now lives a fully plant-based vegan lifestyle and has used his experience to educate thousands by helping them understand there is a way out of the grips of chronic illness and disease. Dr. Taher believes that what you eat is the most important pillar of the 6 pillars of Lifestyle medicine.
