Meet Vince
Vince Rountree, age 60, is passionate about helping people with weight loss, diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol to reduce their dependency on medication or get them off meds completely.
How can he do that?
Vince runs a business called Eat Plants and Thrive, which creates and markets programs that help people treat diabetes, obesity, heart disease, high blood pressure and high cholesterol with plant-based nutrition.
In 2011, Vince was diagnosed with high cholesterol and high blood pressure and his doctor gave him a prescription for cholesterol lowering statins. But after seeing family members go on meds and still dying of heart attack, he decided to change his diet and he switched to plant-based nutrition. In just 6 weeks, his cholesterol dropped from 240 down to 132. His blood pressure dropped 30 points and he lost 20 pounds!
Vince created The 5-Day Redline Challenge, that has helped people lose 1 - 14 pounds in 5 days, without being hungry and without exercise!
He is an Emory University-trained Integrative Health Coach and works with clients one-on-one in groups and he works with corporations to improve the health of employees. Integrative Health Coaching empowers clients to make lasting behavior changes that are the foundation for a lifetime of health and well-being.
