Akil Taher, MD is an Author, Heart-Healthy Speaker, Resurgent Physician, Septuagenarian Athlete, Whole Food, Plant-Based Lifestyle Movement Activist, a Holistic Health and Wellness Advocate, and a Recovered Bypass Surgery Patient. BUT, he hasn’t always been the epitome of health and wellness.
Raised in Mumbai, India and trained in family medicine at the Flower Hospital in Sylvania, Ohio, Dr. Taher has had an amazing career as a physician. He says, he was “an experienced physician, a couch potato, and a pampered consumer who feasted over the best foods without worrying about unhealthy consequences, because like many, I believed that, "Heart disease won't happen to me."”
In August 2009, at the age of 61, open-heart surgery knocked at Dr. Taher’s door and his world came crumbling down. It’s easy to see that it woke up his determination to do life differently and it ran deep with his deciding to completely change his life.
Today much is different for Dr. Taher. He’s overcome acute and chronic medical ailments to indulge in century cycling, triathloning, skydiving, hang gliding, scuba diving, white-water rafting, running marathons, and climbing mountains while still running a successful practice and seeing patients via telehealth. He has turned into an eternal optimist, explorer, and adventurer and now shares his story and his wisdom with the world.
Dr. Taher says, “I reincarnated into a new life to stay true to the meaning of my first name, Akil −the "wise."
Dr. Taher is a Founding Ambassador with a WFPB Advocacy Group who is on a mission to (1) elevate the voices of those who have healed using food as medicine, (2) help recognize the Healthy Vegans for Life Movement, and (3) promotes and advocates for the care and nurturing of our planet.
