Chuck began experiencing constant bloating and a strange feeling of drunkenness, despite not drinking alcohol. The symptoms were persistent and severely disrupted his daily life.

Doctors recently performed an exploratory procedure that may have finally revealed the cause.

Chuck had gastric bypass surgery 17 years ago, and during the procedure doctors placed a feeding tube into a small portion of his stomach that had not been used in years due to the bypass. Something remarkable happened:

When food was delivered into that isolated portion of the stomach, his symptoms completely disappeared.

But when he returned to eating normally through the larger portion of his stomach, the symptoms returned immediately.

Now doctors believe they have identified the root of the problem. Chuck is scheduled to undergo gastric bypass reversal and hiatal hernia repair surgery on April 17, with hopes that the procedure will restore his health.

Chuck shares the full story of his medical journey, what doctors discovered during the exploratory procedure, and what he’s expecting as he prepares for surgery.

We’re wishing him the best and look forward to having Chuck back in June for an update after surgery.

Meg highlights her youngest son’s remarkable commitment to the lifestyle. As a college student, he adopted a routine of meal prepping with an Instapot and air fryer, crafting meals like tofu scrambles, hash browns, and chili. His dedication resulted in significant health improvements, including a weight loss of over 20 pounds. Meg underscores the power of focusing on adding delicious, nutrient-rich foods rather than the fear of giving up traditional ones. By gradually integrating plant-based habits and leading by example, her family experienced both health and mindset transformations. This episode serves as a heartfelt reminder that small steps and shared experiences can lead to life-changing outcomes for everyone.

Anthony has been working in healthcare for more than 25 years.  His career started in the 90s at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) doing bioinformatics work on the Human Genome Project.  He later shifted into Research and Development at Novartis Pharmaceuticals, where he was excited to contribute to the development of new disease therapies.

While working at Novartis, he transformed his own health and learned of a better way.  He shifted his career once again and is now 100% focused on providing access to medical services centered on the prevention and reversal of disease utilizing lifestyle medicine and whole food plant-based nutrition.

Anthony came to a plant-based lifestyle himself after being denied a 20-year term life insurance policy at age 33.  He was morbidly obese, weighing more than 360 pounds, medicated for high blood pressure, and suffering from psoriasis, eczema, migraine headaches, and sleep apnea. With his transition to a whole food plant-based diet and healthy lifestyle, Anthony lost 160 pounds and reversed all these conditions.  He has maintained that weight loss, and an incredible quality of life, for more than 16 years and counting.

He co-founded what is now Love.Life Telehealth in 2019 to make lifestyle medicine available to everyone.  He’s proud to enable patients to find the medical care they need to implement lifestyle changes that will truly improve their health, wellness, and quality of life, no matter where they live.

Anthony’s personal transformation has been featured on the Megyn Kelly Today show, on PBS, in The Huffington Post, in the bestselling book Eat to Live, and by Forks Over Knives, Runners World, and numerous magazines, web sites, radio shows, podcasts, and articles.
