Plant-Based Diet Secrets For Weight Loss & How Love.Life Is Changing Healthcare - Anthony Masiello
Anthony has been working in healthcare for more than 25 years. His professional career started in the 90s at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) doing bioinformatics for the Human Genome Project. He later shifted into Research and Development at Novartis Pharmaceuticals, where he was interested in contributing more directly to the development of new disease therapies. Although Anthony worked in healthcare, he was extremely sick! At 33 years old, he was denied a 20-year term life insurance policy. He was morbidly obese, weighing more than 360 pounds, medicated for high blood pressure, and suffering from psoriasis, eczema, migraine headaches, and sleep apnea. Through the transition to a whole food plant-based diet and healthy lifestyle, Anthony lost 160 lbs. and reversed all of these conditions. He has maintained that weight loss, optimal health, and a greatly improved quality of life for more than 15 years and counting. Driven to help others not experience the sickness he had to endure, Anthony realized that top-tier physicians were not available to the general public, either because of cost or availability (they lived in other states). Anthony decided to do something about it, by launching Love.Life Telehealth, an integrated health and wellness company, provides patient-centric medical care that’s outcome-driven, personalized, and dedicated to addressing whole-body health. With licensed physicians practicing telehealth nationwide, Love.Life empowers patients to proactively improve their health by focusing on the root causes of chronic diseases and offering comprehensive solutions. Love.Life is a national network of wellness hubs that is leading the convergence of food, medicine, and wellness for a one-stop transformative health experience.
