rochelle's plant powered story

"The benefits I have experienced [from a whole food, plant-based lifestyle] have been numerous and still hard to believe. The greatest change has been in my ability to eat a varied diet without feeling sick or bloated after struggling with digestive issues (various food allergies/sensitivities) for most of my life. I also have better quality of sleep, more energy, improved memory and clarity and the additional bonus of weight loss. Not only am I committed and invested in this program, but my husband has joined me on this life-changing journey to wellness to live a healthy, happy and more beautiful whole life." 

Continuing to Learn

"I participate in as many PPMNY events as possible and I’m a huge fan of chef Carol.  I actually cook along with her and at the end of the webinar a delicious and healthy dinner is served."

Yolanda

Yolanda was a part of our Jumpstart program with the Marlene Meyerson JJC in February, 2019. She continues to enjoy vibrant health through a whole foods, plant-based lifestyle.  
The takeaway: "I really enjoyed your program because it provided all the tools to make a transition to a healthier lifestyle. The great support, education, wonderful cooking classes  all made a big difference. It really works. I had lab work done after the program and saw an improvement in my lipid profile. Even though they had previously been within the normal range, there was a drop of 10 points. I also lost 5 lbs and am happy to say that I am still following a plant-based lifestyle. Additionally, I work as a dietitian and I'm promoting it to my patients. At work, we had a health fair for employees for Diabetes Alert day, and I was asked to provide education; I chose the plant based diet as the theme."
