011: Plant-Based Telehealth Founder Releases 160 Pounds with Anthony Masiello

How does one go from being unhealthy and obese to becoming a beacon of hope when it comes to personal health? Such is the case with Plant-Based Telehealth founder, Anthony Masiello. Anthony’s passion for health was not a part of his life plan. An early pioneer of understanding the internet, Anthony loved technology and science. In this episode, Dr. Sabatino and Anthony “geek out” on science and how it all plays into where we are today. Bringing the conversation into layperson terms, Anthony shares how the denial of a 20-year term life insurance policy felt like a death sentence to him. Looking back, he now sees it as a life sentence. One he never imagined he would be living. And yet, when he was denied the insurance policy, 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 lbs. and reversed all these conditions.  He has maintained that weight loss, optimal health, and an incredible quality of life for more than 16 years and counting. Anthony is on a mission to dramatically shift the healthcare focus from management to the prevention and reversal of chronic disease by helping millions of people to implement lifestyle changes that will truly improve the quality of their lives. http://www.HealthScience.org/podcast/011-anthony-masiello
