"Never before has there been such a mountain of empirical research supporting a whole foods, plant-based diet. People are beginning to sense the need for change and are beginning to question some of the most basic assumptions that we have about food and health- and are changing their lives for the better."

PROFILE

My journey started the day I became a MOMMY.  From the very beginning I had such a strong desire to feed my children the best.  And thus I started my quest to find out what exactly is the best.  In doing so, I not only found how to feed my children but also how to feed myself.  One of my greatest joys as a Mommy is when I cook an extremely healthy meal and my family not only eats it, but asks for seconds.  Does my family eat perfect?  I wish I could say yes.  Unfortunately the real world comes into play.  But there is a power in knowing what is perfect...A power in knowing what foods cause disease...A power in knowing how my family and I can live a long healthy life together.  Join me on my never-ending journey of eating that healthy meal and never feeling guilty about asking for seconds.
