Summary

Plants didn't just change Kelley Gilberry's life. They saved his life.

He was overweight, battling heart disease, and struggled with high blood sugar, too.

But the military vet would not surrender to an early death. Instead, he fought to reclaim his health. And he did so by arming himself with a plant-based diet.

Soon he would be winning the battle, reversing his heart disease, bringing his blood sugar back under control, and shedding the excess weight that had been troubling him.

Now Kelley has a new mission: to help others do the same.

That is why he calls himself One Determined Vegan.

He joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to share his keys to success and how you can improve your health, too!
