As a public health nutritionist and vegan for 20 years, I know what it’s like to experience vibrant health.

But I also know this makes me rare among U.S. women, where up to 80% of us are overweight and up to 50% are obese. As a result, we experience the highest rates of death and disability from heart attack, cancers, stroke, and diabetes.

The good news is that these chronic diseases can be prevented and often reversed by eating plenty of plant-based foods that we all know are good for us. Foods like fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and legumes (or, beans, nuts, lentils, and split peas).

That means eating meals like Curried Chick Peas with Sun-dried Tomatoes; Oven-Grilled Veggie Shish-Kabob; Spicy Kale Salad; Toasted Olive Bread with Fresh Basil and Garlic Sauce; Chocolate Chip Cookies; and Raspberry Banana Smoothies. Surprised? I made these dishes for the photos at the top of the page. They’re all vegan and they’re all delicious!

Testimonials:

“Tracye opened my life to a new way of eating to be healthy. I was able to lower my ‘bad’ cholesterol level through a plant-based diet and exercise without medication.”

Carolyn Woods

“This class was excellent. I now see that I can have a much more varied diet as a vegetarian. I especially appreciated learning what to use as a substitute in a healthier diet. My children will benefit the most as they can have a lifetime of healthy eating habits and can pass them on to their children. I definitely recommend this class and have done so to my family and friends. And, of course, our smiling, energetic instructor Tracye was honest and knowledgeable. Can I take it again?”

T. Allard, Eat Smart seminar participant

“I learned how to shop for healthy food that’s fresh and low cost. I learned how to make healthy choices when eating out…. I learned that just as good foods like fruits and vegetables have a good affect on my health, bad foods like certain fats and over processed foods have a bad affect on my health. I’ve lost fifteen pounds since beginning the class in May. I no longer feel compelled to eat meat to get the nutrients my body needs. I am very happy about this especially since I don’t find meat as appetizing as I once did, given the contaminants like mercury in fish and the unhealthy ways in which chickens and cattle are raised.”

“Thanks for being one of the best teachers I have ever known, especially when it comes to helping me understand the reasons to eat healthier.”
