The Autopsy That Changed My Life — Doctor Explains Why He Went Vegan | Dr Ruben

In this powerful conversation, Dr. Ruben shares the true story of a medical case he witnessed early in his career — an autopsy that completely transformed how he understood health, longevity, and the human body. What he discovered led him down a path that ultimately changed his lifestyle, his career focus, and his mission in life.

Now a board-certified lifestyle medicine clinician, Dr. Ruben explains how that moment reshaped his beliefs about disease, prevention, and what it truly means to live a long, healthy, vibrant life. From whole-food plant-based living, to mindset, leadership, community, and vitality — this conversation goes far beyond diet and dives into what it really means to fully live.

This is not just a story about going vegan — it’s a story about:
• Longevity
• Lifestyle medicine
• Self-leadership
• Personal transformation
• Community and connection
• Preventive health
• Purpose-driven living

If you’re interested in health, longevity, plant-based living, lifestyle medicine, or personal transformation, this conversation will challenge the way you think about what creates a truly healthy life.

• The autopsy that changed Dr. Ruben’s life
• Why he went vegan

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

If you’re new to my channel, my name is Leif Arnesen. I’m an engineer turned nutrition nerd and the founder of The Vegan Gym.

In 2014, a rare cancer diagnosis forced me to completely rethink my life. I adopted a whole-food, plant-based diet, and a few months later, after watching Earthlings, I went vegan overnight — not just for my health, but for the animals.

At first, I struggled to lose fat and get fit as a vegan. But after diving deep into the science, I built a system that transformed my body and my life. That journey led me to start a blog in 2017, which eventually became The Vegan Gym.

Now, our team is on a mission to help 1,000,000 vegans get into the best shape of their lives because we believe that the more healthy, fit vegans there are in the world, the faster veganism will spread.

Let’s work together to inspire change, spread compassion, and thrive on plants! 💪🌱
