How Plant Based Eating Eliminated Chronic Low Back Pain with entrepreneur Brad Rapone

Have you had back or some type of body pain for years and tried all types of treatments but didn't find relief? Have you considered how your diet might be a factor?   For this week's episode of the Weekend Wellness Hour Show, we discussed this topic with entrepreneur Brad Rapone whose back pain plagued him for over 16 years.  By the time he decided to change, he had searing pain down the back of his legs.   Brad touched on all the modalities he tried from chiropractic to spine injections to many other modalities, but he never had anything more than temporary relief. He didn't want surgery, so in 2019, when he was given a challenge of eating only plants for 90 days, he jumped in.   Brad explained the journey of pain elimination through the decrease in inflammation in his body.  We discussed his stress levels and stress eating as well as his reliance on fast food, processed foods and junk foods.   He shared some tips on switching to plant-based eating and some resources for recipes and ideas.  We also spoke about how easy it is to get enough protein from plants, and Brad shared his thoughts on vitamin B12 and the use of nutritional yeast.   Brad continues to lead a busy life and has a family to consider as he makes changes to his lifestyle.  He explained how he was able to integrate this new eating style into his family meals.   Brad Rapone is an entrepreneur, business owner of TradeWraps, real estate investor, coach and amateur chef as well as a dad and husband.   Please join us to learn how switching to plant-based eating can improve your health and how to integrate it into your family meals!!   Please feel free to reach out to Brad at [email protected].   -Dr. Amy Novotny   Subscribe to PABR Institute's email list for free Tips for Relief: https://pabrinstitute.activehosted.com/f/1   www.pabrinstitute.com
