       My friends call me “K-POP Chef” because I’m a Korean-American and was healed by the power of plants (POP).  

       I’m a lifestyle medicine trained plant-powered nurse with a mission to educate families to "eat to win."  I empower families to take charge of their family’s health destiny with every delicious bite because “food is medicine” (with awesome side effects!).  As a U.S. Navy nurse, I worked in family practice, internal medicine, pediatrics, & surgery.  My greatest passions are serving as a Food for Life (FFL) instructor, health coach, & the founder of All-Stars Thrive Academy.  My value-packed All-Stars classes offer evidence-based nutrition education along with fun plant-powered cooking classes.  

       As a mom, I was terrified when my elementary school aged children’s total cholesterol results all came back abnormally high.  They were only 8, 8, & 9 years old at the time!  Their doctor never asked me what my kids were eating and simply explained that it was “just their genetics."  Deep inside, I just knew it wasn't their DNA that was to blame, but that our family's diet was the real problem.  Eating the standard American diet (SAD) literally made my family sad. 

       Months after becoming plant-based, I went to my doctor to recheck my abnormally high cholesterol.  My doctor told me that medications must be taken to treat my high cholesterol.  She adamantly advised that a plant-based diet alone would "never" allow me to achieve my total cholesterol goal of below 150 (to heart-attack proof myself).  Do you know what happens when you tell a former salty Navy nurse that she can’t do something?  I replied, “BS!”  Yes - I meant broccoli sprouts, Brussels sprouts, and POP to my rescue!  I made my skeptical doctor and husband (also with high cholesterol) into plant-powered believers when I achieved a total cholesterol of 145 with a whole foods plant-based lifestyle.  I exceeded my total cholesterol goal (100% medication-free)!

       Today, my plant-powered family is truly thriving because we are eating foods that love us back with excellent health. Eating by PCRM's Power Plate has resulted in excellent health wins for my family - optimal cholesterol, optimal weight, medication-free, much happier, & boundless energy.  After my family's health victory, I became passionate about coaching families to thrive with every nourishing bite.  I love teaching busy families (especially with kids) how to eat for optimal health with actionable & time-saving strategies to make delicious All-Stars plant-powered meals.
