“When you
know better, you do better.”
--Maya

I love helping people shift to a healthy way of eating
that can prevent and reverse many of the chronic conditions which consume
massive amounts of resources unnecessarily.
Diabetes is preventable and reversible with plant-based eating. So why are so many adults and kids being
diagnosed with diabetes? Why are so many
people dying from diabetes and its complications? With 9,4% of Americans having diabetes and one in three with prediabetes, the sign is clear that we need a solution, not more drugs.

There is plenty of evidence and research to support the
fact that the healthiest way of eating is plant-based with a focus on fruits,
vegetables, legumes, and whole grains. With
prominent physicians such as Dr. Neal Barnard, Dr. Dean Ornish, and Dr. Zac
Bush advocating for plant-based eating, it is a revolutionary time to be a
foodie.
Besides humans coming out as winners with the shift to
plant-based eating, the planet always wins.
The methane gas produced by cows and the animal waste that pollutes our
rivers and lakes are killing our planet and are major contributors to the
climate change that marches forward like a death watch. We do not have to kill animals in order to
feed ourselves. Factory farming of
animals has no place in a civilized world.
We are so much healthier when we eat plants, not animals.
