The biggest factor to longevity is in the diet. The saying that “You are what you eat.” is exactly true in the sense that what you take in your mouth can do a lot with your body and well-being. Evidence-based studies show that eating more whole plant-based foods can reverse chronic diseases, end the frustrating dieting cycle, lose weight and get off medications.
Drs. Arjun and Shobha Rayapudi are both board-certified lifestyle medicine doctors and co-founders of Gift of Health, a nonprofit organization based in Newfoundland, Canada, dedicated to revolutionizing lives through lifestyle medicine. Through in-person and online workshops, they have helped hundreds of people prevent and reverse chronic diseases, end the frustrating dieting cycle, lose weight and get off medications. Their life-saving work was featured in the documentary “Plantify,” broadcast on the national Canadian Broadcasting Corp (CBC) TV.
Their mission is to bring the Gift of Health experience to a broader audience all over the world through online programs.
