VP#48: Fasting Escape Success Story Shelley Watts! How Eating Only Plants All the Time (and Some Divine Intervention) Took Her from Fat and Sick to Medication-Free and Transformed

Shelley Watts, of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, is a retired high school home economics teacher. Arrogant about what and how much she could eat, Shelley started gaining weight in her late 20s by overeating sugar, salt, and fatty foods. Over the years, she gained 65 pounds and developed multiple health issues, including type 2 diabetes. She knew things were bad. Despite a lifelong aversion to needles, she learned to prick herself to administer her diabetes meds. Finally, she prayed and made a decision to make real changes in how she ate. She did her homework, researching websites, books, and articles and listening to experts. She made a plan, based on science, and then she executed it – beginning with a fast at the Fasting Escape., run by Dr. Nate Gershfeld. Since June 24, 2019, she’s eaten only plants, all the time - and she'[s transformed her health! Now, at 70, she's got a brand-new life and looking forward to many more QUALITY years ahead.
