Eric Adams , Brooklyn Borough President, on Reversing Type 2 Diabetes, Whole Food Plant Based Living, and How Changing Your Dinner is a Revolutionary Act

Today on the podcast we welcome Brooklyn Borough President, Eric Adams. In 2016, President Adams was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. After losing vision in his left eye and suffering from nerve damage in his hands + feet -- he went against the initial recommendations of his doctors and instead pursued a whole-food, plant-based diet. Within three months of this lifestyle change, Eric reversed his diabetes diagnosis and he has subsequently been able to impact the health of countless New Yorkers facing chronic diseases. On this episode we discuss his experience reversing Type 2 diabetes, whole food plant based living, and why changing your dinner is a revolutionary act. We also get even more personal as we discuss government programs and have an in depth dialogue. We really appreciate President Adams for having this conversation!  Brooklyn Borough President, Eric Adams had a 22-year career in law enforcement as a part of the NYPD, was elected to and served for 4 terms in the New York State Senate, and in 2013 was elected as the President of the Borough of Brooklyn. Although Eric has had a long career in public service, today he shares with us a more personal health journey of his and how that journey has helped to inform current health policy initiatives for the Borough of Brooklyn -- that will inspire you regardless of where you live!  To learn more you can visit: https://www.brooklyn-usa.org You can also follow him on instagram @bpericadams We want to hear your thoughts!
