In this episode of the Fit Vegan Podcast, I speak with Anthony Masiello, co-founder and CEO of Love Life Telehealth. Anthony opens up about his powerful health journey—going from 360 pounds and being denied life insurance at 33, to losing 160 pounds by embracing a whole food plant-based lifestyle. We talk about the turning points that led to his transformation, the founding of Love Life Telehealth, and how lifestyle medicine and telehealth are making plant-based care more accessible. He also shares news about their new health center in Los Angeles and how it’s helping people take control of their health, especially later in life.In This Episode, We Cover: [00:00–04:33] Anthony’s Health Journey: Early Life, Struggles with Weight, and the First Steps Toward Change[04:34–39:43] A Wake-Up Call: Denied Life Insurance, Finding a Sustainable Path, and Reclaiming Health Through Lifestyle Changes[39:44–55:14] Lasting Change Through Small Steps: Reflections on Family, Social Support, and Building a Healthier Life[55:15–01:21:07] From Patient to Advocate: A Career in Plant-Based Health, The Story Behind Love Life Telehealth, and What the New Los Angeles Center OffersKey Quotes"I always thought of that stuff as kind of inconveniences, but it was never really scary until I realized that here I am, my wife and I are starting a family. You know, we've got these two kids and they don't have anyone else, right? It's me and my wife that we're responsible for taking care of these kids. And to think that I might not be able to do that for very long was scary." -Anthony."There's a self-justification as to why you are in a certain position that you're in. You're trying to convince yourself, you're trying to trick yourself into a place where you start to have peace with the current position."-Maxime.My name is Maxime Sigouin.
