My Vegan Story - Kelley Gilberry

Welcome back to Consciously Clueless, where we journey together in search of a happier, healthier, and more conscious life. This month's My Vegan Story features Kelley Gilberry, a firm believer in the healing powers of nature and the transformative potential of a plant-based diet. Kelly's health journey is nothing short of remarkable. Once a pre-diabetic, obese individual with heart disease, Kelly is now a certified holistic health coach and plant-based nutritionist, in the best shape of his life. An experience of devastating loss - losing his beloved mother and uncle to heart disease and cancer, respectively - led him to reject prescribed medications and explore a natural, plant-based approach to health. Guest bio: Kelley started his career in the US Navy where he spent over a decade touring the world and serving his country. His last three years in the Navy were spent as an instructor at the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. where I became a Certified Master Training Specialist. Once he finished his Naval career, he transitioned into being a Product Specialist within the Oil and Gas industry. Where he worked with big oil and gas companies like Chevron, Shell, Exxon, and BP to train their personnel on how to commission, operate, troubleshoot, and fix their equipment. During that time, he gained a ton of weight and he let his health spiral out of control until he was eventually diagnosed with obesity and both prediabetes and heart disease at the very same doctor’s visit. So, he made it a mission to reverse the misfortunes of his health. He went back to school and became certified in Holistic Nutrition. He lost nearly 70 pounds in less than a year and reversed all his health conditions. In February of 2022, he started his company, “One Determined Vegan” where he now helps and teaches his clients how to restore their health by using the power of plant-based nutrition. His book “Plants Saved My Life” is a memoir, an instructional manual, and an inspirational guide that teaches you how to transform your health.
