After seeing remarkable improvements in his own health by adopting a healthier diet, he began learning all he could about the science behind why this diet works so well. Convinced that the evidence is clear, he's made it his mission to inform as many people as possible that they too can take control of their health. He is a public speaker, author, graduate of the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies Plant-Based Nutrition program, and volunteer for the non-profit Nutritionfacts.org.
