Brian's Story

Three years ago, marked the peak of my decades-long health decline at age 55.  Despite regular exercise of over an hour a day, I was pre-diabetic, pre-hypertensive, I had sleep apnea, high cholesterol, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and a CAC score that put me at a 90-percentile risk of heart attack or stroke for my age. I was overweight with a resting pulse in the 90s with a high PSA and a lump on my prostate that the urologist gave every indication she thought was cancer.  I had been under the mistaken impression that exercise was the most important thing a person could do for their health and I thought I was eating a pretty healthy diet already. I assumed my health issues came from a combination of bad genetics and getting older until a friend of mine recommended I read The End of Heart Disease by Dr. Joel Fuhrman. 

It didn’t take more than the first two or three pages for me to realize that I knew almost nothing about nutrition and the few things I thought I knew were wrong  so I had no problem dropping my previous mistaken beliefs. I committed myself to learning everything I could from Dr. Fuhrman and immediately began practicing 100 percent nutritional excellence.  I read almost all of his books.  I watched all of his presentations that I could find online and became a member on drfuhrman.com.

The immediate transformation of my health was astounding and after nine months, my a1c dropped one point into the normal range, my blood pressure dropped over 30 points and is now excellent, sleep apnea is gone as I lost a little over 40 pounds returning to my high school weight and a body fat percentage of 12 percent.  My total cholesterol dropped almost 100 points and my LDL went from 100 on Lipitor to 85 on no medication. My risk of heart attack and stroke is gone and my resting pulse dropped 30 points into the 60s. The lump on my prostate disappeared (the urologist said she’s never seen that happen before) and prostate tests subsequently ruled out cancer. I no longer have the need to take any medications and even my lifelong severe cat allergy is gone.

This turnaround inspired me to become a Nutritarian coach and I feel so fortunate to be able to help others to earn back their health as I did.  Two years later, I’ve maintained my weight loss and vitality. The End of Heart Disease sparked my awakening!  Dr Furman’s books, presentations, and the resources on DrFuhrman.com turned it into a lifestyle and mission. I learned my health decline wasn’t inevitable - nutrition, not just exercise, was the key. Dr. Fuhrman‘s  saved my life, and I’m living proof, now guiding others to the same truth. I will forever be grateful to Dr. Fuhrman, thank you, Dr. Fuhrman!
