Ep. 134 | Heart Attack and Keto to Lower Blood Sugars and Less Meds – Cindy’s Plant-Based Diet Journey [Part 2]

What if you thought you were doing the right things and invincible, and then…a heart attack happens? That’s exactly what my guest Cindy experienced. She had been trying to eat ‘clean keto’ and was feeling she had more energy with weight loss.

Then, a heart attack came out of the blue. That’s how her life as she knew it, changed when she came out of the surgery room and was prescribed 5 meds. 

Join me in this episode as we hear of Cindy’s plant-based diet journey, the changes she experienced and her key piece of takeaway advice for those wanting to start or continue eating plant-based.

The best part? I followed up with Cindy two years after she had moved into a plant-based diet lifestyle, and we celebrated the fact that she has now been able to stop nearly all her meds and her HbA1c level has dropped even lower!
