In this compelling episode, we dive into the remarkable story of Chris Freer, a man who faced a life-changing Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis at 43 and took the bold step of reversing it through food as medicine. Once a successful businessman running pubs and clubs, Chris was suddenly confronted with the reality of life in a wheelchair. Refusing to accept a future dictated by his diagnosis, he embarked on a transformative journey using food as medicine, challenging conventional medical advice and embracing a lifestyle focused on addressing root causes rather than symptoms.
Chris's journey from despair to empowerment is a testament to resilience and the power of self-care. Now a health and wellness coach, he’s on a mission to inspire others to take control of their health and rethink their dependency on pharmaceuticals. In this episode, Chris shares practical insights, powerful mindset shifts, and his deep belief in the body’s ability to heal. Tune in to hear how he moved beyond his diagnosis, found renewed purpose, and now helps others unlock their own potential to thrive despite chronic illness.
