Dr. Nick Yphantides used to tell his patients, \u201cDo as I say, not as I do.\u201d That\u2019s because he weighed 470 pounds. But then God spoke to him about being a better steward of his body. In his own words, \u201cGod used testicular cancer to bring me to my knees. Here I had been healed of cancer and yet I was eating myself to death and committing suicide at the dining room table and going to fast-food places. I was overwhelmed with the conviction that my personal health was a God-given gift with which I had to honor him in the way that I cared for that gift.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dr. Nick went on a spiritual, physical, and emotional journey to seek God\u2019s best for his body. He lost 270 pounds in eighteen months. In addition to founding a ministry focused on health, Dr. Nick has written the book My Big Fat Greek Diet<\/i> and has done interviews with Entertainment Weekly<\/i>, CNN, and People<\/i> magazine, speaking to the issue of caring for our bodies.<\/p>\n
