Description: This week’s guest is a special one - this conversation is about a life story, an insight, a look into the journey the life of a typical human being. What makes him interesting is he has his own unique story to tell spanning over 64 years and several countries, eras and experiences. He’s also my dad. Unbeknownst to him his story is an eventful, exciting whirlwind of life in Africa, the hippie era, Rock’n’roll, drugs, near escapes, multiple countries, spiritual experiences, and endless stories, which in his words make him feel lucky to be alive. What did he learn from this? Well one thing, no matter what situation you face, no matter how bad things can get, it will always work itself out in the end. But one other thing, after an exciting life of living on the edge he found himself overweight, facing a dangerously high cholesterol, pre-diabetic, bowel issues and wondering where is health went. Well when his doctor prescribed him some drugs and told him to cut back on the sweets he thought there has to be a better way. And slowly but surely he found it, nudged along by yours truly he found himself shifting to a plant-based diet. 18 months later his cholesterol is that of a young man, diabetes is a speck in the rear mirror, he’s dropped 9kg and he’s found a new passion out on the bike every weekend and practices yoga every week. So you’re typical human being? I think not. Come along for the ride in experiencing the life of Colin. I think this conversation has to potential to influence all ages and walks of life. So get comfortable whatever you are doing, plugin and come along and see what you learn. Enjoy. Leave a review on iTunes! Follow Me!
