“I grew up with a misconception that getting older meant getting sicker. I thought the secret to health was youth. I now realize the secret is food. Our bodies are of full of potential that our diets can unlock. Today, as I strive to be my best, I move toward plants, listen to Marco Borges, and follow a lifestyle that truly reverses aging – The Greenprint.” -- Steve Harvey

“After over 40 years of directing scientific research showing that comprehensive lifestyle changes can reverse most chronic diseases, I have come to realize that vital lifestyle information can only affect change if it resonates with people.
