Tim Kaufman will share his inspiring personal story about why a wholefoods plant-based lifestyle makes so much sense. Tim Kaufman was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) in his early twenties. He was in chronic pain most of his life. By the time he had reached the age of 37 he was addicted to Fentynal, alcohol, and fast food. At over 400 pounds he was unable to perform simple daily tasks. He had many chronic health issues and was almost immobile. He had lost his interest in life and had almost given up. Tim started a journey to regain his health. He started to change one small thing at a time. He is now an athlete that thrives on a plant-based whole food lifestyle and leads a healthy, happy, productive, and very active life that is free of all medications he was once on. He joins Dr. Robert Ostfeld and you will hear Tim’s struggles and his victories as he transformed into a happy, healthy athlete with a new-found passion for running and living life to the fullest.
