Description:
My name is Dustin Rudolph and I've always had a passion and interest in healthcare. In fact, in 4th grade I remember telling my parents I was going to become a pharmacist. This childhood dream was realized when I graduated college in 2002 with a Doctor of Pharmacy degree from North Dakota State University. Since then I've continued my education in the healthcare field by becoming certified in plant-based nutrition in 2010 through Cornell University.
I grew up in rural Montana in the middle of farm land and oil fields. Meat and potatoes were the staple to everyone's daily diet and my family was no exception. Little did I know that this would be the major culprit of what would eventually lead to my grandfather's death due to diabetes and heart disease.
I really value the wonderful health that I have today due to the simple habits that I've incorporated into my daily life. Working full time as a clinical hospital pharmacist I see far too many people suffering from the effects of preventable, chronic illnesses. It is my belief that if reliable, quality health information based on proven science was made available to everyone then we could prevent so much of the needless suffering that takes place in today's world.
Thanks for sharing this Jeff. I never had followed VegNews before and am disappointed that this kind of deception is out there. It's certainly not something our world needs as so many of us work so hard to break through the masses and speak the truth about all the benefits of a plant-based diet.
This makes me really appreciate the sincerity and honesty of VegSource. Your followers deserve the best and they get the best when it comes to this.
Thanks for all your hard work!
What a great story! Thanks to the Nelson family for sharing :) I'm a firm believer in rescuing our four legged loved ones. I have two rescue cats of my own (Sony and Reesee) and I couldn't possibly think of what life would be like without them.
Awesome Benjamin! I love hearing stories like this. It's an inspiration to many. And I love the fact that at least one American corporation cares enough to do the right thing for people. So my hats off to Whole Foods.
I've posted my article on Type 2 Diabetes before on Vegsource blog but for those who missed it and want more specifics on plant-based nutrition and diabetes feel free to check it out - http://pursueahealthyyou.blogspot.com/2011/03/type-2-diabetes-squash-it-in-its-tracks.html
You're awesome Jess! Love the idea :) I may just have to do this myself.
