Scott's Story

PDF | Print | E-mail

Scott is an aerospace engineer from Chicago, Illinois.  He was your typical brat-and-sauerkraut lovin' guy until he met Katherine.  Shortly after they began dating, Katherine became ill and had to make major changes to her diet.  At first, he still insisted on eating his standard American diet and preferred to watch Katherine from the sidelines.

Three months later, Scott had a physical and his cholesterol was 226.  At 23 years old, that is very high.  As high cholesterol, high blood pressure and heart disease run in his family, the doctor said he must be on cholesterol-lowering medicine for the rest of his life because "food can only lower it by about 10%".  Katherine began studying cholesterol and the diet and convinced Scott to give her 30 days to experiment on him. She cooked him high-fiber, plant-based foods to help remove his cholesterol.  She also eliminated animal products from his diet because they all contain cholesterol.  After 30 days of delicious eating and no portion control, Scott's cholesterol measured 162!  Three months later, it reached 121, where it still hovers today.  He never had to start the medicine and has since helped other family members heal themselves with food.

Besides being an advocate for his new found health, Scott is also the chief "taste-tester" of Katherine's new recipes.  He is directly responsible for the breakfast burrito, the Man-sandwich and the Pho' Philly Cheezesteak.  He continues to inspire Katherine to push the limits of her cooking and developing healthier versions of his childhood favorites.
