A diet rooted in whole, plant-based foods can do more than just prevent disease—it can help reverse it. 🌿

Dr. Dean Ornish’s research, published in The Lancet and JAMA, was the first to show that a whole-food, plant-based lifestyle can open blocked arteries, lower cholesterol, reduce inflammation, and even improve mood and longevity—without drugs or surgery.

— Dr. Dean Ornish
