Ep. 116: Transforming Health – How Olivier Mankondo Shed 77 Lbs in 9 Months and Reversed High Blood Pressure

In the past, I used to be sick, and I didn’t like the feeling. I wouldn’t go back and start eating all the meats, all these things, because I want to be healthy. I want to feel all the time vibrant, that when I wake up in the morning, I have all my energy, I don’t get sick anymore. And that’s what kept me going. And I said, this is going to be my lifestyle. I’m never going to go back to the way I was, I was feeling before. So that’s why kept me on the on the track. And I decided that this is going to be a lifetime thing. It’s not like you do that for I don’t know, two months or three months, and then you’ll revert back. No, I didn’t want to do that. Because the feeling of well being is so empowering that I can’t go back to my old way of eating.
