What we are About

The 6 Million SEEDS School-based project and Growing a Healthy Child are 2 facets of one combined effort to transform what we feed children in school and at home The premise is simple: Our children are our most precious resource. Children comprise the most vulnerable section of our population. They have neither autonomy nor agency, regardless of their economic situation, housing status, race, skin color, religion or national origin. While some may indeed be worse off than others, children are always at the mercy of the people and environment around them. In the United States, one of the biggest issues children face is access to genuinely healthy food that supports their growth and development, and ability to learn.

6 Million Seeds

Children are heavily influenced by the adults around them. Whether we know it or not, parents, educators, and healthcare providers majorly affect the development of our children. Every environment is a learning environment, and we truly must lead by example for the next generation. This week, we discuss acting as a positive influence for the children in our lives by breaking through multi-generational health conditions.

#35: Household Chemicals and Their Risks with Jeanne Schumacher This is part 2 of our interview with Dr. Schumacher about household chemicals and their risks. Jeanne Schumacher, M.Ed., Ed.D has earned her doctorate in science and education and has taught for over 35+ years. She is a firm believer in “walking the walk.” She is committed to inspiring people to change their health destiny through a non-toxic whole food, plant-based lifestyle. She is passionate about making a difference in the lives of others by teaching practical ways to improve their health. She believes that food is our best medicine and helps us get our bodies back to a state of health when faced with “dis”-ease. She has been sharing her knowledge through motivational and educational lectures as well as on her website www.SimplyPlantBased.net In 2020, Drs. Shapiro and Schumacher launched The Pregnancy Advantage, to help women get their bodies pregnant-ready or help if they have trouble conceiving. (www.PregnancyAdvantage.net) In 2022, Dr. Schumacher launched The Plant Based Academy, to help provide education, support, and guidance to people who want to live a whole food plant-based lifestyle. (www.PlantBasedAcademy.net). Jeanne has followed a plant-based diet since 2009 and has become a motivational speaker and educator on whole food, plant-based living as well as living without toxins. Her transformation to a healthier lifestyle began with a trip to the emergency room with a 105-degree fever, deadly high blood pressure, and an unknown infection. Luckily, the physician who attended her was not only trained in medicine but also in nutrition. This doctor started Jeanne on a journey that would not only change her health destiny but her life as well. Jeanne has successfully earned her Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate through Cornell – Center for Nutritional Studies and completed the Women’s Studies and Food Over Medicine program through the Wellness Forum.
