Is it possible to age backwards, just by changing what you eat? Can you transform your body while still giving it all the nourishment it needs? And what are the most important steps we can take to prevent disease from taking hold?

These are just some of the questions Dr Angie Sadeghi, MD, was seeking answers to, for both herself and the patients.

Using an evidence-based approach, Dr Angie (who’s a diplomate of the American Board of Internal Medicine and the American Board of Gastroenterology) transformed how she ate, and in the process COMPLETELY transformed her health — doing away with the fatigue, bad skin, excess weight and bloating that had plagued her for years, and metamorphosing into an energetic, glowing woman who looks ten years younger than she is (and who even medalled in a fitness model competition!).

These days, Dr Angie advocates for gut health, disease prevention and age reversal by transitioning to a diet of plant based wholefoods. Her staggering personal transformation has inspired the patients at her California clinic, as well as thousands across the globe to make the switch to plants and see the incredible difference in their own health. She’s also been featured in three documentaries as a leader in the field of plant-based fitness for health and weight loss, and is about to release a book titled, Trifecta of Rejuvenation and Health. (I can’t wait to get my hands on it — once you’ve listened to this conversation, you’ll see why!)

So if you want to hear about the remarkable anti-aging properties of plants, the simplest, most stress-free way to transition to eating more of them, as well as hear the details of her mind blowing transformation, then pop in those earbuds… this one’s for you.
