Actor, NBA Star and Wellness Advocate John Salley talks about nutrition and why he believes in a plant-based diet. "A vegan diet changed my life," says former Detroit Piston, John Salley. After his doctor told him his eating habits were killing him, John chose to forgo their cholesterol lowering medications and instead adopted a plant-based diet.
