Armando Alvarez: An Amazing Health Journey

On Episode 9 of The SmartyPlants Podcast, Judi talks with her good friend Armando Alvarez about his inspiring health journey and how he reversed type 2 diabetes and heart disease by eating a whole food, plant-based diet!

 

As a young athlete who was focused on eating healthy, he was shocked to find out that he had become a full-blown diabetic with heart disease in his forties. One of his arteries was actually 100% blocked, and the “widow maker” artery was 70% blocked! His doctors told him that bypass surgery was in order and was even told he was a “ticking time bomb”.  

 

Armando decided to focus on his lifestyle–predominately his diet–instead of surgery, and healed his body with a whole-food, plant-based diet.

 

He shares with us the 6 words his plant-based doctor told him that completely changed his life and wants us to remember that your diagnosis is not your prognosis!

 

He is now healthy, happy, and has run 5 half marathons so far and multiple 5K’s! 

 

He shares tips with us for people new to eating plant-based on how to give your body a winning chance.

 

His courageous journey is very inspiring, he’s a wealth of information and fun to talk to.

 

So, tune-in because you won’t want to miss it!
