Master Certified Health Coach: Melissa Furman

[frederickkrewson]

What started my vegan journey was the Dr. Sanjay Gupta documentary "The Last Heart Attack" (where one of the doctors was Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn ). I immediately ( and I mean...immediately ) watched "Forks over Knives". That movie has saved millions of lives!!

Your interviews are all so well filmed. 👏It's amazing how much impact Forks Over Knives has had for good.

Don't know her age, but certainly cannot deny that she is remarkably gorgeous, radiant even, no doubt at least partly thanks to being vegan. Having her family follow the same example is also admirable. That and being a health coach who does research/follows science is why she is so inspiring as there is so much misinformation out there, as well as many of ignorant people. Definitely need more people like this wonderful lady in the world, they are few and far between, but i don't doubt that will change in the future.

Forks Over Knives was the revelation that kickstarted my journey as well.

[taniaalencar]

Another amazing interview full of facts for those who want to embark on this beautiful journey. Thank you again !

Great interview!
My start was with The China Study, recommended by my doctor in 2017, followed by Forks Over Knives, which I've watched several times. My biggest challenges have been consistency and not eating badly for convenience's sake. Helps to watch YouTube videos by the doctors mentioned - Campbell, Esselstyn, Greger, Barnard, others.

I studied nutrition in the US in the 90’s- the best Universities in Nutrition at the time. Bs, Ms, internship & registration. I really wanted to help people be healthy. I was unaware what I was being taught came from the Food Industrial Complex via the Government through the Universities. I followed what they taught me, I never had energy & became quite ill. I traveled the word, found alternate ways of eating, divergent from what I had been taught & also gained access to much healthier food sources. It saved my life, I am healthy, my head doesn’t hurt every day, my joints don’t hurt. I have energy, sleep well & feel great. I will be 50 this year & in the past five years Vegan have even de-aged, many people think I am in my thirties. What she says makes since. I am encouraged to become a health coach & actually help people, something I have always felt passionate about again. Thank you🙏

I started Vegan whole food 6 weeks ago. BP was 140/80 now 105/72, cholesterol 243 to 193 and lost 20 lbs. Now I hear about oxalates in veggies and sweet potatoes causing kidney failure. I need to meet with my doctor and a certified nutritionist.

Hi Melissa from Tulsa 🥦❤ Thanks for sharing and thanks Jeff!

[kaleidojess]

I think that's what I'll do, I'll get a vegan health coach to learn more and build on what I already know.

Super inspiring! I’ve been playing with the idea of becoming a coach but more so from my own personal experience of not eating meat for 20 years and vegan for 6, rather then going thru all the schooling. I feel like I’ve self educated myself enough but still don’t know if I could necessarily feel confident giving others nutritional advice that’s why maybe I was thinking about coming at it from more of the philosophy side. Do you think that’s possible? She didn’t seem like she thought those without degrees would be credible enough, so now I’m feeling a bit discouraged. Would be curious of anyone’s thoughts on this. Thanks! ☺️🙏

Great interview....I need a wife like her!!👈🌱💚💪✌️

[nappyscribe]

Melissa, since being plant-based, I’m severely anemic. What should I do?

[veganmemoriam]

Jeff, I'm seeking your input. I've created a site, link on my 'About' page, and was wondering if, when you have time, you could kindly peruse the list and let me know who I have missed.

Many thanks.

Doesn’t work for me. I need more protein. 😊
