On March 12th, 2015, we had a webcast that was based around Marc Ramirez and his amazing story of how he turned his life around and got healthy. This was a mandatory webcast for our department and had a full 45 minute segment on “your health matters”. Marc’s story on how his health improved so quickly by making healthy choices and going to a plant based diet spoke to me like nothing ever has. That day, I decided to change my life, as well.
Prior to seeing Marc’s webcast, I had a Doctor visit and was at my highest weight ever! I was pre diabetes, was on medication for high blood pressure and had acid reflux and GERD to the point that I took medication for that twice a day. Since the webcast, I’ve given up all fast food and have went to mainly a plant based diet. I started feeling the benefits of eating and living a healthy lifestyle within just a couple weeks. I had so much energy and felt so amazing it was just incredible. All these benefits within such a short time is due to giving my body the nutrients it needs instead of eating fast food and feeling I had to eat meat with every meal.
Shortly after changing my eating habits and going to a plant based diet, I began walking every day and also bought a bike and started taking daily bike rides. I’m 54 years old and have never felt healthier in my life. To date, I’ve lost 66 pounds, I am no longer pre diabetes, I’m off my blood pressure medication and the only medication I take is for GERD, and I only take it once a day instead of twice a day, like I had been. I had my yearly physical and all my blood levels have improved significantly and are all in the normal range. My Doctor is so proud of me and has asked me on more than one occasion… “what are you doing”? 😊
Marc’s story inspired me and has truly changed my life! Marc is so knowledgeable about health and nutrition and has the passion to help and share that information with everyone. I’m eternally grateful to Marc for sharing his story and letting people know that you too, can change your life and your health. It really is in your hands to do that. Marc has the tools and knowledge and passion to help everyone achieve and live a healthier life style. What an amazing man!
Forever grateful,
Linda Lamb
