Featuring Doug Schmidt: Conversations with Lee Fulkerson

Doug Schmidt and Lee talk about the near-fatal heart attack Doug suffered in 2008 and how that led him to adopt a Whole Food Plant-Based Diet (WFPBD).  As Health and Wellness Coordinator for his school district, Doug recently organized a PlantPure Nation Jumpstart for the staff.  The results for the 30 participants were amazing and many of them have continued eating plant-based. Additionally, word is spreading throughout the district and, as a result, Doug is fielding requests from an increasing number of staff members who want to get more information about a WFPBD.  There is even a possibility that students in the district’s schools will receive more information about what really constitutes good nutrition.

Doug Schmidt is a teacher and the Health and Wellness coordinator for his school district.  He adopted a plant-based diet following a serious health scare in 2008.  He also recently organized a PlantPure Nation Jumpstart for his school district staff that was partially funded by the district’s health care provider.
