Founder & CEO of Plant Based for Positive Change
In 2012, Adam found himself at a critical crossroads in life. Weighing nearly 350 pounds and struggling with multiple addictions, chronic diseases, and mental health disorders, his life nearly ended when he attempted suicide by drug overdose. With the adoption of a plant-based diet and his family, Adam began a path that led him to lose 150 pounds in one year (175 pounds total) and reverse his chronic diseases, permanently.
Now, Adam is a nutrition, insulin resistance, and addiction researcher / expert as well as a highly sought after international speaker.
He has worked with some of the most respected programs and companies in the health and wellness world: Whole Foods Market, Plant-Strong, and Mastering Diabetes.
He is the founder of Plant-Based for Positive Change, a nonprofit organization that led the first-ever clinical trial investigating the effects of a nutrient-dense, plant-based dietary intervention on early addiction recovery outcomes. His work is reshaping the understanding of how food can be used as a powerful tool in addiction recovery.
Adam serves as a Strategic Advisor for health and wellness with organizations like R360 Global and The Kennedy Forum: Alignment for Progress, offering insights that help shape innovative approaches to well-being.
Adam has presented on some of the largest stages in the world: Google, The Food Revolution Summit, Plant-Stock, Make Big Happen Summit, and Whole Foods Market’s Tribal Gathering, sharing compelling stories and science on the intersection of nutrition and human behavior.
His expertise and personal journey have been featured in Men’s Health, Forbes, Psychology Today, The Proof Podcast, The Well Podcast, and Superlife with Darin Olien, among others.
