He's been simply eating plant foods for several weeks, cutting out dairy and other animal products. The results? He went from using his asthma inhaler several times per day to once or twice. His sleep apnea all but disappeared. And he feels better. All this from eating whole, plant foods. OrganicAthlete has educated people about the benefits of a whole-food, plant-based diet and lifestyle for 5 years. Growing from an enewsletter to an extensive list of educational resources and from a small group of athletes to an international community, we've come a long way in those years. Here are some highlights: published the OrganicAthlete Guide to Sports Nutrition OrganicAthlete conference brought in athletes from around the US Tour d'Organics reaches 1000 participants over 15 chapters formed or forming around the globe over 6000 visitors per month to our website daily emails of people inspired and encouraged by our mission You can help us make the next five years just as fruitful! We're aiming to raise $5000 in donations and have 500 new members by December 31st. Anyone who donates over $100 will also recieve a free gift of our new athletic socks made from coconut fiber.
