How this 20 year old woman is using the power of plants to defy her doctor and genetics, in order to prevent a heart attack at 40

"I truly feel the best when I’m eating plants"

Imagine watching your dad survive a heart attack at the age of 47. And then when you turn 20, your doctor tells you that because of genetics, you are headed down that same path. That information might scare you, render you helpless. Well this week's guest, Reanna Kicinski, took matters into her own hands. She got a second opinion, and that second physician recommended a plant-based diet. After a short 6 months, Reanna's good cholesterol had almost doubled. And now 2 years later, Reanna is inspiring others to try a plant-based lifestyle, including her dad. This episode is truly an illustration of the power of plants!
