166: From Wheelchair Bound to Marathon Training: How Traci Elle Reclaimed Her Health and Released 160 Pounds

from Plant Based Eating for Health · host Kathleen Gage

At one point, Traci Elle was confined to a wheelchair, weighed close to 300 pounds, and was told she would never walk normally again. She was also living with 15 chronic health conditions that were impacting every part of her life. Despite having followed a vegan lifestyle for years, her diet had shifted toward highly processed foods, leading to declining health and increased weight. Everything changed after a breaking point. In one moment, Traci made the decision to take her life back. Over the next 15 months, she released 160 pounds, regained her mobility, and reversed her chronic conditions without medications. Today, she coaches others using the same practical, mindset-driven approach that helped her transform her life. In this episode, we discuss: ●     Why vegan does not automatically mean healthy ●     How ultra processed foods impact cravings and behavior ●     The connection between dopamine and food addiction ●     Simple strategies to reduce temptation ●     How to begin making changes, no matter your starting point Learn more at:  https://VeganVisibility.com/166-Traci-Elle-1
