About
My journey into plant-based nutrition happened after I’d grown tired of watching loved ones struggle with cancer and heart disease.
My grandpa died of a heart attack in church one Sunday before I was born. I’m sad I never got to meet him. My dad eventually also had a heart attack which led to quintuple bypass surgery. Later, one of his bypassed arteries collapsed, leading to another heart attack.
My uncle died of cancer in his 30s. He left behind a wife and three young children. My aunt has battled breast cancer for the last few years. After a double mastectomy and a year of chemotherapy she is doing okay.
My father-in-law had a stent put into a blocked artery a couple years ago. The doctor told him several other arteries were also partially blocked. That was when my husband and I suggested he try a plant-based vegan diet. He took our advice and cut out all meat and dairy–eating only fruits, vegetables, some whole grains and legumes. After three months of this diet, the doctor told him that the amount of blockage in his arteries had lessened. His heart disease appeared to be reversing.
I’ll admit I was shocked. Though I’d long been an advocate for this type of diet, I still couldn’t believe it was actually working for someone I knew! Apparently disease really could reverse if a person stopped eating the standard American diet with its processed, engineered “food-like” substances in exchange for the vitamins and minerals contained in whole, natural foods.
I began to examine a plant-based lifestyle in greater depth and eventually became certified in Plant-Based Nutrition through Cornell University.
This website offers resources for discovering how a plant-based diet is, pure and simple, the best way to eat. You can throw out the diet books and stop worrying about the threat of disease. Natural nutrition does work. I want to help make it work for you and your family.
