What happens when a life-changing diagnosis forces you to question everything you thought you knew about health?

In this episode of the Plant-Based Support Podcast, Dr. Niki Davis sits down with wellness expert Shoshana Chaim to explore a powerful, real-life journey into plant-based living, resilience, and long-term healing.

After being told her husband could have just months to live, everything shifted. What followed wasn’t a quick fix, but a complete rethinking of health, from food to stress, from mindset to community.

This conversation goes beyond “what to eat.”

It explores why:

• Some people see results on a plant-based diet… and others struggle

• Healing isn’t just about food—but also stress, breath, and lived experience

• Sustainable change comes from support, not willpower

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right… but not seeing the results you hoped for, this episode will help you make sense of it, and show you what to focus on next.

🧠 IN THIS EPISODE

• The diagnosis that changed everything

• What happened after going plant-based

• Why results vary from person to person

• The role of cellular health, stress, and breathwork
