Joe’s Story

G’day, I’m Joe Cross. You might know me from the movie, Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead, which documented my personal journey to regain my health. When I made the film, I literally was fat, sick and nearly dead. I was 100 pounds overweight, loaded up on steroids and suffering from a debilitating autoimmune disease. I was at the end of my rope and the end of my hope. In the mirror I saw a 310lb man whose gut was bigger than a beach ball and a path laid out before me that wouldn’t end well.

With doctors and conventional medicines unable to help me long-term, I knew I had to drastically change my lifestyle so I turned to the only option left: the body’s natural ability to heal itself. I traded in my typical junk food diet and decided to hit the road with a juicer and generator in tow, vowing only to drink fresh fruit and vegetable juices for the next 60 days. Across 3,000 miles I had one goal in mind: To get off the pills and achieve a healthy and balanced lifestyle.

By juicing fruits and vegetables, I successfully lost the weight and got myself off all prescription drugs and truly rebooted my life. I also developed a passion and appreciation for the delicious tastes and healing properties of the produce I was consuming.

Now I am free of my autoimmune disease, I live a happy and balanced life at a healthy weight and I could never imagine returning to my old ways again.

And you know what? If I can do it, so can you!

Juice on!
