INSPIRATION: The Starla & Rick Maurer Story
She was so fired up to go plant-based that she tattooed the word “vegan” on her arm. And that was before all animal products had been eliminated from her diet. She just knew that she wanted to do it. And, boy did she ever!
That is Starla Maurer. Her energy is infectious and her zest for life is unrivaled.
The fitness instructor thought she was making a change to save her own life, but little did she know that it would be her husband whose life would ultimately need saving.
It was their wedding anniversary and Starla was only a few weeks into her plant-based journey. But rather than celebrate their union and her new quest for health, fate would cruelly intervene as doctors gave the Maurers news that rocked them to the core. Rick had colon cancer and would need to begin treatment immediately.
What happened next is one of the most remarkable stories ever shared on The Exam Room podcast.
Join “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll as he sits down with Starla and Rick as well as Dr. Hana Kahleova as they relive an incredible journey filled with unimaginable lows and unparalleled heights.
