After nearly 10 years with Type 2 diabetes, one Michigan man turned his health around with a plant-based diet. We talk with Marc Ramirez about his appearance in an upcoming documentary about diet.
As a young man in the late 1980’s, Marc Ramirez was healthy enough to play football for the University of Michigan. At 305 pounds, Ramirez was a big but relatively healthy guy, but decades later, after poor eating habits had taken hold, Ramirez faced years of serious health problems, primarily the result of Type 2 diabetes.
In 2011, he and his wife Kim made a big change. They adopted a plant-based diet. Today, Marc Ramirez says he’s in the best shape of his life.
His story is included in a new documentary film, “Eating You Alive,” which will be nationally distributed in January.
The film also features actor Samuel L. Jackson, screenwriter and producer James Cameron and magician Penn Jillette.
