Javant was facing health problems that are common and a "normal" part of getting older and yet, he knew inside there must be a way to heal these issues. So he started doing his research and learning about reversing heart disease and lowering blood pressure through dietary means.
This meant embracing a NEW way of living, preparing food and engaging in family celebrations. While many of his family find his new health kick “weird”, he was determined to eat his way to better health.
Now, he shares amazing, delicious and healthy recipes to help others do the same.
In today’s podcast he tells his story of awakening to his food choices and how they affect his health and longevity.
We also explore:
-his inclusive approach to sharing vegan recipes
-why there’s a comparatively high percentage of African Americans going plant-based
-the unexpected shifts he experienced after changing his diet
-his love of food that still persists but has taken a radical new form.
And more!
He encourages you to get educated, get cooking and be willing to be “weird”.
