Ep. 115 | Off Blood Pressure Meds & 50 Lbs Lighter One Year Later - Winnona Eating Plant-Based [Interview Part 1]

It’s time to check in with my guest Winnona Yi, who first appeared on this podcast when she was just 3 months into her plant-based diet transition. How is she doing now, more than a year later? Recall that prior to this dietary change, she had been eating a regular diet heavy in fast foods, and had many health problems including a skin condition called hidradenitis suppurativa, as well as high cholesterol and type 2 diabetes.

But after she moved to a whole food plant-based diet, her health and her life changed…drastically. And one year later, there are even more positive changes, such as needing to take less meds and more weight loss. Walk away inspired after listening to Winnona’s one year follow up Guest Interview!
