FLASHBACK FRIDAY - Adam Sud: Overcoming Food & Drug Addiction with the Power of Plants

You don’t need to experience trauma to feel depressed.   You don’t have to grow up in a certain zip code to be a drug addict, and you don’t have to have obese parents to develop a food addiction.   Adam Sud grew up in a comfortable household with a loving family, yet he experienced all of these things.   After years of Adderall abuse and excessive consumption of fast-food, Adam tried to commit suicide.   Unsuccessful in his attempt, he finally committed to seeking help and discovered the healing powers of the plant-based diet - not just the physical effects, but the mental benefits as well.   Adam lost 160 pounds and titrated off all of his medications, including his antidepressants. Now healthy and medication-free, Adam devotes his life to helping others, proving that no matter how far one has fallen, there is always a way out.   What we discuss in this episode:   - Coping with food as a child   - Adderall addiction   - Steps to recovery   - Losing 160 lbs and becoming a fit marathon runner   - Perseverance and trusting the journey   - Benefits of a whole foods, plant-based diet   - How to change your perspective and set a positive mindset   - The Save Movement (@thesavemovement)   - The Pleasure Trap   Connect with Switch4Good   - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ2toqAmlQpwR1HDF_KKfGg   - https://www.facebook.com/Switch4Good/   - https://www.instagram.com/switch4good/   - https://twitter.com/SwitchForGood   - switch4good.org
