Eric Adams shares how Whole food plant based reversed his diabetes
On today’s episode, Nicolette and Eric discuss how he nearly lost his eyesight because of type 2 diabetes. Instead of googling ‘how to live with diabetes’ as recommended by doctors, Eric instead did a Google search: ‘how to reverse Diabetes’. This launched Eric into a whole food plant-based journey and he successfully reversed his diabetes completely. Eric is now working with schools and other community groups throughout Brooklyn to support them in learning about plant-based whole-foods as medicine. Tune in now to hear more about the incredible work that Eric is doing to heal the American diet and lifestyle. And definitely pick up a copy of Eric’s book, Healthy At Last: A Plant-Based Approach to Preventing and Reversing Diabetes and Other Chronic Illnesses
“Every doctor’s clinic gave me a pamphlet [that said] ‘Living with diabetes’… i typed one word different, i typed ‘Reversing Diabetes’ it took me to a different place”
Eric Adams is the Brooklyn Borough President and on his own, figured out the formula to reverse his diabetes. Since then, he’s been redesigning communities and setting up systems to support his greater community in tackling the chronic disease epidemic in New York. Eric graduated at the top of his class from the New York City Police Academy. After serving with the New York City Transit Police Department, he transferred to the New York City Police Department (NYPD) and retired with the rank of Captain after a 22-year law enforcement career. His next foray into public service came when he was elected to the first of four terms in the New York State Senate in 2006. From this position, he represented a diverse range of neighborhoods across Brooklyn. In 2013, Brooklynites elected Eric as the first person of color to serve as their Borough President where he is currently serving his second term as Brooklyn’s Chief Executive.
