Today, I am joined by Anthony Masiello, co-founder and CEO of Plant Based TeleHealth, a national lifestyle telemedicine service focused on the prevention and reversal of disease with lifestyle medicine and whole food plant-based nutrition.  Anthony has been working in healthcare for more than 25 years.  His professional career started in the 90s at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) doing bioinformatics for the Human Genome Project.  He later shifted into Research and Development at Novartis Pharmaceuticals, where he was interested in contributing more directly to the development of new disease therapies.  Finally, after learning there is a better way, he shifted his focus once again and is now 100% focused on providing access to medical services centered on the prevention and reversal of disease utilizing lifestyle medicine rooted in whole food plant-based nutrition. Anthony first 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. Through the transition to a whole food plant-based diet and healthy lifestyle, Anthony lost 160 lbs. and reversed all of these conditions.  He has maintained that weight loss, optimal health, and a greatly improved quality of life for more than 15 years and counting. Anthony’s personal health 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.

Today's episode veers a bit off-course as it is not solely focused on veganism, though, of course, I talk about veganism too. I feel it is important to address fat-shaming as a whole, not just within the vegan community.  If you are a fat-person who has been made to feel less-than, I hope you feel seen and loved while listening to this episode. If you are a "normal-sized" person who has made the fat person in your life feel less than, I hope you can take a new perspective and love them as they are right now.  Here's a great article from VegNews on anti-fat bias Discussing body shaming on my Fireside Chat show and again on The Vegan Stew Be sure to subscribe to the podcast and if you're loving it, please give Did You Bring the Hummus a 5 star rating, it's an easy way to keep supporting the show.  Are you a change-maker?

She now supports others on their spiritual journeys and invites that veganism is an integral part of walking the spiritual path.

Hello friends! It's just me this week, no guest! In today's episode I talk about how to engage with your immediate family now that you have decided to go vegan. I'll offer some tips, but more than anything, set an example. Don’t force anything, when the people around you see how much your life has changed and the joy the simple decisions in your life brings to your day, they’ll at least ask questions. It’s never about what is “taken away” it’s about what has been added, and it’s so much more of that than you can imagine. Every time you have a conversation you might be planting seeds, you never know, people can surprise us.  Mentioned in today's episode: Game Changers: https://gamechangersmovie.com Forks Over Knives: https://www.forksoverknives.com/the-film/ The below documentaries are graphic in nature: Dominion: https://www.dominionmovement.com/watch Earthlings: http://www.nationearth.com Meet Your Meat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykTH_b-cXyE Find me on Instagram and Facebook @didyoubringthehummus, check out my new membership site, your first week is free!
