Tip of the Week: "Nutrients do not behave the same in whole foods as when isolated. The healthful properties of fatty plant foods like nuts, seeds, and avocados cannot be obtained by consuming only their extracted and highly concentrated oils. When we eat the oil, we strip away much of the good stuff." ~ Center for Nutrition Studies

The Resolve Health and Fitness Story
​
​Twelve years ago I didn't know how to pronounce the word "vegan" (no joke, I had to go to an online dictionary to hear it pronounced) and I had never heard the words "whole foods, plant-based". But I came across an article in the Wall Street Journal that mentioned a book called The China Study. I was intrigued and checked the book out of the library. It changed my life. I was instantly convinced that the way I was eating was slowly ruining my health and I resolved right then and there to adopt a whole foods plant-based diet. After going whole foods, plant-based I lost 10 pounds and the ulcerative colitis (an autoimmune disease) I suffered with for 14 years just disappeared. Now I want to help others learn what I did. Thus, the birth of Resolve Health and Fitness.
