By the time I was 26 years old, I was an orphan. I had lost both my parents to long, debilitating battles with cancer. When my parents were sick, I asked the doctor, “Does nutrition matter?” He said no. And thus my parents continued to eat a poor diet. Would this knowledge have saved my parent’s life? I’ll never know. But shouldn’t every single person have the tools, knowledge, and opportunity to make an informed & educated decision about their own health? Carlos Caridad is helping people make those informed decisions by showing the world what is possible. I was honored to be interviewed about how I overcame the trauma of losing my parents and turned it into a positive mission to spread awareness of nutrition and healing unresolved issues in order to live a healthy, vibrant life. I am so excited to be part of Carlos’s Healing Cancer in This Century Summit. Remember, your body can heal itself if you give it the tools it needs to do so! Food Heals!

In Part 2 of our interview with Adam Sud, we take a look at how he and his twin brother Bobby are making the world a healthier place through raising awareness of mental illness and challenging the stigmas associated with it. We also answer a listener question about holistic healing and coming off prescription meds.
