Ted “Dr Herbivore” Crawford grew up in Iowa, eating meat and dairy at every meal. Even as a Doctor of Osteopathy, he thought that healthy eating meant less red meat, and more chicken and fish.

His own health was a mess: medicated for high cholesterol and hypertension (the latter at the highest allowable doses), suffering from Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, overweight and experiencing frequent migraines. His wife had survived breast cancer, and was dealing with osteoporosis and osteoarthritis.

Then one day in 2011 Ted and his wife attended a showing of Forks Over Knives. And everything changed, starting with their pantry. Ted's GERD was gone in two weeks. Off statins, blood pressure plummeted and 34 pounds lighter in just a few months.

Naturally, Ted started sharing his protocol for disease reversal with his patients, many of whom are experiencing similar miracles of recovery.

• the big myth of medicine
• how quickly you can reap the rewards of a whole food, plant-based diet
• how he deals with patient objections
• the growth of the Plantrician movement
• what he does with all his excess energy and joy
• and much more…
