What if everything you were told about food and disease was incomplete?

In this episode of the Plant Based Support Podcast, Dr. Niki Davis speaks with Naomi Green, a plant-based health coach who transformed her life after a breast cancer diagnosis at just 27.

This powerful conversation explores:

• The truth about food and chronic disease

• Why many people feel powerless in the medical system

• How plant-based nutrition supports weight loss, energy, and long-term health

• The missing piece in traditional healthcare

• How lifestyle changes can help reduce reliance on medications

Naomi shares how she lost weight, regained energy, and built a life centered on helping others take back control of their health—without extreme dieting or restriction.
