The doctor told him that he would need to be on insulin to treat diabetes for the rest of his life. But he told the doctor that wouldn\u2019t work for him. Soon thereafter Bob Blackburn became the first patient the doctor had ever seen to reverse a diabetes diagnosis.

The idea of ditching meat and dairy was once unfathomable to the former Marine and professional wrestler. For decades his diet consisted of fast food, junk food, and high-fat foods. In fact, while traveling he would plan his routes around his favorite high-calorie restaurants.

But an inner health warrior was awoken inside Bob when his doctor informed him that he had diabetes. From then on, the unfathomable plant-based diet became the only diet he was interested in.\xa0

On this third installment of the \u201cYour Body In Balance\u201d series with Dr. Neal Barnard and \u201cThe Weight Loss Champion\u201d Chuck Carroll, Bob shares his remarkable journey\u2014one filled with a lifetime of adventure, learning, and inspiration.

Dr. Barnard also sits down with Chuck to explore the connection between diabetes and hormones and why a dietary change can be just what the doctor ordered.

Bob\u2019s story is just one of the many featured in Dr. Barnard\u2019s new book, Your Body In Balance, which will be released on Feb. 4.
