E26 - Nick Wo - Starch Based Success

Mended Paths Podcast

Hi Path Menders, This week on the Mended Paths Podcast, I am speaking with Starch Solutioner and Path Mender Nick Wo. Nick is relatively new to mending his path, yet in just 8 months he has lost about 125 Lbs.; but more importantly, he lost high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and diabetes. But that's not all! Join us today as Nick shares his story of how he got from growing up in a family of meat sellers to now following a whole food plant based lifestyle. With a nudge from a friend, Nick stared a journey to healthfulness, a journey Back to Better!
