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. Later, realizing that fitness was also important to my overall health, I became an avid runner and gym rat. Now I want to help others learn what I did. Thus, the birth of Resolve Health and Fitness.
