32. Reversing Disease: An interview with Ron Mitchell

<p>What do you do when your doctor informs you that you have high blood pressure?<br /> <br /> You take blood pressure medicine… for the rest of your life.<br /> <br /> That’s the path Ron Mitchell was on.<br /> <br /> An avid runner, Ron’s blood pressure had gotten to the point where he needed to regulate it with medicine.<br /> <br /> And, he did.</p> <p>For awhile.</p> <p>Until he had an allergic reaction to the medication that landed him in the Emergency Room.<br /> <br /> At that point, he decided that he was done with taking prescriptive drugs.<br /> <br /> He increased his running and made some dietary changes. Specifically, he eliminated meat products from his diet and began following a plant-based diet.<br /> <br /> That was over ten years ago and he’s never had a blood pressure problem again.<br /> <br /> He’s also never taken another prescriptive drug of any kind.</p> <p>Let me remind you of something:<br /> <br /> Reversing high blood pressure AND not taking any prescriptive drugs is virtually unheard of in this country.</p> <p>Especially for a 75 year old male.</p> <p>But Ron is living proof of what the human body is capable of.</p> <p>Learn more about Ron’s story and what YOU can do to live your best life by listening to this week’s episode.<br /> <br /> Also, as mentioned in the episode, here are some individuals you can Google if you're interested in learning more about plant-based diets:<br /> <br /> Dr. Michael Greger<br /> Dr. Dean Ornish<br /> Dr. John McDougall<br /> Dr. Michael Klaper<br /> Dr. Joel Fuhrman<br /> Dr. Alan Goldhamer<br /> Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn<br /> John Robbins</p> <p>After listening, please share this episode with a friend.<br /> <br /> Also, if you haven’t already, go to iTunes or Spotify and subscribe to the podcast and give us a rating.
