When a health scare put Javant face-to-face with prediabetes and hypertension, he didn’t turn to pills. He turned to his plate. Nearly 20 years later, that wake-up call became the spark behind a full-blown revolution in how he lives, eats, and teaches others to prevent and reverse chronic disease.
Today, Javant’s messages reach nearly one million followers Instagram, where his oil-free, wheat-free, refined sugar-free recipes have become a rallying cry for anyone ready to fight back against chronic disease and misinformation.
In this episode of Health Under the Hood, Dr. Markyia Nichols sits down with Javant, founder of @HealthyVeganEating, creator of the Healthy Vegan Lifestyle App, and author of the upcoming cookbook Make Your Own, to explore how food can be an act of rebellion against quick fixes, diet culture, and the “sick-care” system itself.
They unpack:✔️ How Javant lost 80 pounds and reversed prediabetes through food✔️ Why he swears by a no-oil, no-wheat, no-sugar approach✔️ The mindset shifts that make lasting change possible✔️ How to start your own anti-diet revolution, one delicious plant-based meal at a time
Afterall, sometimes, the most radical thing you can do is feed yourself well.
Javant’s new cookbook, Make Your Own, is available for preorder everywhere books are sold.
