Keynotes:

“It doesn’t matter how fat you think you're gone or how much you have to take back. There’s always hope out there and change is literally one decision away. And the only decision that matters really is the one you have to make right now. Don’t overthink this. It’s the same process whether you have to lose 400 lbs or no pounds, just to get healthy. Just worry about your next meal, your next plate, your next move” - Tim

“If you’re eating whole food plant-based, the grocery bill would be a lot cheaper than the medicine bill” -Maxime
