“Dr. Dean Ornish demonstrated in 1990 that eating a whole food, largely plant-based diet could reverse heart disease, as well as provide other health benefits, including weight loss. It’s no surprise at Still & Moving Center that this diet works when combined with moderate aerobic exercise, group support and stress management training!”
