Like many advocates of this lifestyle, Carol’s journey began as a personal one. Family health issues forced a focus on exploring solutions. Food as medicine became the clear path. But Carol brought her unique training, talents, and insights to bear in her decision to share her knowledge and help as many others as possible. Fiercely committed to guiding people to prevent the major cause of death in the U.S., heart disease, and the associated chronic illnesses of diabetes and hypertension, she blends her degrees in nutrition and nearly two decades of exploring solutions to help others regain their health.

Throughout her career, Carol’s approach to helping others heal through nutrition as been a multi-layered one, including

Moving beyond educating others about necessary dietary changes to re-build health to showing them how to achieve it by adopting nutritious plant based cuisine that is surprisingly delicious.
Understanding that any chronic illness is a family disease as well as a personal disease. In her personal life, she’s “walked the walk” and understands full well that, just as illness is a family affair, so is healing
