Our guest today is living proof that anyone can change their life. Alishea Basson was a mom of four and creeping into dangerous territory in regard to her health by the time she was 30 years old. Severely overweight and plagued with seizures and high blood pressure, Alishea decided she couldn’t live with her emotional eating self any longer. She educated herself on how to eat healthfully and exercise, eventually adopting a whole food, plant-based diet. While her family didn’t support this choice, Alishea stuck with it.   Now 125 pounds lighter and full of energy, Alishea is an inspiration to anyone who thinks they can’t. Listen in to learn how this everyday hero made the switch for good, and how you can, too.   “Feelings are fleeting. They only come back stronger if you ignore them or push them aside with food. I pushed my feelings down for 30 years and it almost killed me.” - Alishea Basson   What we discuss in this episode:  - Alishea’s journey to her rock bottom - How binge eating stretches your stomach -
