The inside scoop...and 5 reasons to get to the next one

Published: Sun, 04/05/15


Hi ,
 
With one of the best reputations
of veg festivals anywhere, I was excited and honored to present
at this year’s Get Health Marshall event, aka "Healthfest", where  – ” The restaurants all went vegan
and close to 600 people flew in
to hear what the Healthfest 2015 website calls ’17 of the most influential and sought after speakers and athletes in the world.’ ”

This event delivered, and I've written an insider's report,
complete with photos, just for you.

The Mayor leads the way

When five-term mayor of Marshall, Texas, Ed Smith, received
a diagnosis of prostate cancer in 2008, he decided to treat it
with aggressive dietary changes under a doctor’s supervision.

Mayor Smith began eating only whole grains, vegetables
and legume, nuts, and fruits. Later scans showed that the cancerous growth had disappeared.

Before you know it, Ed and his wife, Amanda, launched what
​has now become an annual event in Marshall, Get Healthy Marshall – also affectionately known as Healthfest.

​fun and news about Healthfest!

All best for a sparkling Easter Day,
