About Patti

From living to eat to eating to live

In 2006 Patti uncovered the truth about consuming animal products and their by-products. What she uncovered is the lack of necessity to do so and that she would be able to get all of the nutrients she needed from plants (curtesy of the book "Skinny Bitch").

Discovering this truth, Patti (being the animal lover that she is) quickly opted to leave the animals off her plate. Over the course of the years, the vegan movement grew, and Patti found herself single handedly ensuring she contributed to all of these new vegan companies' successes.

From delicious vegan burgers, vegan cheeze, to vegan ice cream (we're looking at you Ben & Jerrys) she quickly discovered her health was in peril. Weighing in at 235 pounds on a 5'3" frame, Patti soon found herself riddled with high blood pressure, pre diabetic, suffering with acid reflux, restless nights, and more. Sure, she had ample protein and nutrients, but she was definitely falling in line with the diseases and ailments that follow the Standard American Diet.

In the spring of 2022 Patti graduated from the Plant Based Nutrition certificate program through eCornell and the Center For Nutrition Studies.

Uncovering the reality of the correlation between the food we eat and our health, Patti quickly set forth to change her ways. Throughout her journey she was accepted into the highly sought out Food For Life program through the Physicians Committee For Responsible medicine. In June 2024 she graduated as a licensed Food For Life instructor.

Now Patti seeks to share her knowledge and the life changing information she has obtained with everyone. She has witnessed many people completely change the trajectory of their future just as she has.

No longer ailed by high blood pressure, no longer pre diabetic, no longer suffering from restless nights, no longer classified as obese, no longer suffering from acid reflux and overall, just experiencing a happier and healthier life.

Currently working towards becoming a Board Certified Health Coach through the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, Patti strives to assist those with a desire to begin their own plant-based nutrition journey.
