In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

I love his spunk, tenacity and fervor, he’s seen it, lives it through his family and knows firsthand what it takes to truly live the way we were naturally and originally intended to live. God bless you all 🙏🏽 🕊

He changed my life, went right with him. I am so healthy now. I never could quit smoking but I got off the sugars and flours and all the bad stuff and got off cigs easy; in a week's time I was a non smoker for life and I was a two packer a day. I tried it all, but getting my nutrition on track was the key. This guy is a genius. Since my twenties I always woke up stiff, after one month of nutrient rich eating, I got up one morning and just got up, no stiffness! How can that be? Tried every supplement but this really works; nutrient-rich foods are the way-to-go.

Don't look at this as a diet look at it as Respecting your body and loving yourself

Saw Dr. Fuhrman's presentation on the Atlanta PBS station around 2013. Made sense and gave it a try. Over the next three years I lost 65 pounds and the weight is still off. It works!

I work in a hospital and see so many conditions that could be helped with a healthy diet. . Hopefully this great information will be commonplace one day...

This diet works. 20 pounds in 6 weeks, and 30 points off my blood pressure.

I just attended one of his seminar this summer~everything he preaches makes sense.. I have always been on the thinner side..but in the last 10 yrs, started to gain unwanted weight. Started food prepping/cooking more and adding G-BOMBS to my daily diet. Thank-you Dr Fuhrman. I wish that I had heard of ( & listened) to you 20 yrs ago. I've been a pharmacist for 40 yrs...food should be our medicine.
