Summary

Shane Martin is a talented man. Some say the talented musician and kitchen whiz is also a health genius.

Just weeks shy of his 40th birthday he set on an epic health journey in which he ultimately reversed heart disease and diabetes while simultaneously returning high cholesterol and blood pressure to normal levels. Not to mention he also lost a tremendous amount of weight.

This self-described simple southern guy joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to share his inspiring journey and how his transformation blossomed into a healthy and successful career as the founder of the popular Shane and Simple blog.

At one time Shane believed his poor health would cut short his time with his wife and five children. Now he's looking forward to a long and bright future with the entire family.
