Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead

Click here and you can watch the entire documentary for FREE!  How awesome is that?! So good.  This is how it should be - health information that is FREE & entertaining! My favorite part comes when he meets the truck driver.  I cried tears of empathy and joy a whole bunch during this film!  And while Joe's radical approach is indeed extreme, it speaks to the true power of juicing, which is one of my key power tools of healthy living. Cheers!

About the film:

"100 pounds overweight, loaded up on steroids and suffering from a debilitating autoimmune disease, Joe Cross is at the end of his rope and the end of his hope. In the mirror he saw a 310 lb man whose gut was bigger than a beach ball and a path laid out before him that wouldn’t end well— with one foot already in the grave, the other wasn’t far behind. Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead is an inspiring film that chronicles Joe’s personal mission to regain his health.

 

With doctors and conventional medicines unable to help long- term, Joe turns to the only option left, the body’s ability to heal itself. He trades in the junk food and hits the road with juicer and generator in tow, vowing only to drink fresh fruit and vegetable juice for the next 60 days. Across 3,000 miles Joe has one goal in mind: To get off his pills and achieve a balanced lifestyle.

 

While talking to more than 500 Americans about food, health and longevity, it’s at a truck stop in Arizona where Joe meets a truck driver who suffers from the same rare condition. Phil Staples is morbidly obese weighing in at 429 lbs; a cheeseburger away from a heart-attack. As Joe is recovering his health, Phil begins his own epic journey to get well.

 

What emerges is nothing short of amazing – an inspiring tale of healing and human connection. Part road trip, part self-help manifesto, Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead defies the traditional documentary format to present an unconventional and uplifting story of two men from different worlds who each realize that the only person who can save them is themselves."

"We all want to be full of energy have radiant health and look younger, the problem is most of us don’t know how to take proper care of our body, and for the most part, we are naive about the food industry. The truth is you can’t protect yourself from things you don’t know are happening.

Hungry for Change is a powerful film that aims to address the shocking secrets of the weight loss industry and the deceptive strategies use by the food industry to keep us spending and craving more food.  There are new discoveries that can transform our life if we are open-minded enough to accept them.
