“All animal foods cause illness when consumed in amounts typically found in the Western diet. Why? Primarily because they are the wrong foods for humans.”

"Some people think plant-based diet, whole foods diet is extreme. Half a million people a year will have their chests opened up and a vein taken from their leg and sewn onto their coronary artery. Some people would call that extreme."
about this site
Starting as a young athlete, then pursuing a career in medicine, and finally spending the majority of my adult life as a personal trainer (and mom of 2 boys and wife of a very active husband), I have been fascinated with the human body and on a quest to maximize health and optimize life. Little did I know 25 years ago that I would plow through a snowstorm of conflicting and confusing information on my path to the tranquil oasis provided by a life of whole food plant-based eating. The topic of food and nutrition is broad enough, and when you add compassion and the environment to the mix, it can be overwhelming. So, I hope that by providing small bits of information, you will be able to explore whatever aspects of a plant-based lifestyle interest you. It will be a journey, if you decide to take it. And, for all of you that like to try new recipes, there is a link to some of the favorites served in my house. I hope you enjoy! Brooke
