2009
Adam Guthrie Was Obese & Has A Heart Attack At Age 39.
In 2009, Adam Guthrie found himself obese and had a heart attack. Shortly after, he stumbled upon a book and a documentary where plant-based doctors and patients made a compelling argument that eating a whole food plant-based diet could reverse heart disease and other lifestyle diseases.
Adam immediately went whole food plant-based but shared many common fears of others in this position: Will I go hungry eating only plants? Will I get enough protein, calcium and iron? How can I eat this way even if my family don't want to? What about eating out and socialising? Will I be able to make this way of eating sustainable?
By applying his chef skills, studying a certificate in whole food plant-based nutrition and learning from plant-based doctors, Adam was able, in a very short period of time, reverse his heart disease, lose 35kg, no longer need meds and finished an Ironman Triathlon.
It has forever altered the course of his life.
