Many people know Joel Fuhrman, M.D. from his PBS programs and best-selling books that have revolutionized the health of tens of thousands of people. Even my late mother’s health improved significantly at age 87. She had suffered a debilitating stroke, and Dr. Fuhrman’s PBS special was on TV the day she was discharged from rehab. She started following his nutritional advice that day, and in less than a year lost 80 pounds, got off insulin, regained some of her mobility and vitality back, and was able to live a few more years and meet her first great grandchild. If I could gather the untold stories from around the world whose lives have been radically changed and lengthened by his nutritional recommendations, it would fill volumes of books! However, most people don’t know the story behind his insatiable quest for nutritional excellence, optimal health and longevity. I’d like to share that story today.

Welcome, Dr. Fuhrman!
