I am a registered dietitian and the chair of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine RDN member interest group. I am also a certified specialist in sports dietetics (CSSD). I have been eating plant-based since I was 13 years old. My "bible" was Diary for a Small Planet. The 20th anniversary edition was recently released and I have a recipe published in the new version. For almost 20 years, I have been practicing lifestyle medicine. My clients have successfully eliminated medications and improved their wellness using the pillars of lifestyle medicine.
