025. Positive Change Begins From Within: How One Man Overcame Addiction, Chronic Disease, & Near Suicide with Plant Based Addict Adam Sud (Part 1 of 2‪)‬ Glass Half Healthy

Adam Sud is an international speaker for the plant-based movement and addiction-recovery movement, a food addiction coach with Mastering Diabetes, and founder of the non-profit Plant-Based for Positive Change, dedicated to advancing research on the connection between diet, mental health and addiction. What gave rise to Adam’s success dates back to 2012 when his life was out of control. Weighing almost 350 pounds, struggling with multiple addictions and serious chronic diseases, Adam attempted suicide by drug overdose. With the help of rehab, a plant-based diet and a strong support system, he began an unbelievable journey that led to remarkable recovery. In this two-part series, we discuss Adam’s incredible reversal of all of his chronic diseases, off all of his medications and losing 180 pounds within just one year. He offers insight into the deeper meaning behind reconnecting with your body and with those you love. Adam’s story speaks to the power of human resilience, that through chronic disease, addiction recovery, and health obstacles, self-love and self-compassion can conquer all.
