Healthy Lifestyle Resources

This guide links below to a number of resources, including books, cookbooks, documentaries, podcasts, websites, social media sites, and miscellaneous items.

Because there are so many resources listed, it may be hard to know where to begin. I’d like to suggest one book and one documentary to start with that I found most helpful:

For those looking to improve their health, I highly recommend:
Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease by Caldwell B. Esselstyn Jr., M.D.
Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease challenges conventional cardiology by posing a compelling, revolutionary idea-that we can, in fact, abolish the heart disease epidemic in this country by changing our diets. Drawing on the groundbreaking results of his twenty-year nutritional study, Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., a former surgeon, researcher, and clinician at the Cleveland Clinic, convincingly argues that a plant-based, oil-free diet can not only prevent and stop the progression of heart disease, but also reverse its effects. 

For those wondering about the benefits of a Whole Food Plant Based (WFPB) dietary lifestyle, I highly recommend:
Forks Over Knives
What if one simple change could save you from chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease? Take a deep dive into the plant-based diet documentary that has influenced millions around the world.
