Food for Life Instructor

Aifra Ruiz

I am a Plant-based Culinary Educator, Food for Life instructor, and Health & Fitness Coach from the Dominican Republic. As the founder of Healthy con Plantas LLC, I empower individuals and communities to embrace a whole-food, plant-based (WFPB) lifestyle for disease prevention and overall well-being. My mission is to bring this life-changing knowledge to Spanish-speaking communities through culturally relevant, nutritious, and delicious plant-based cooking.

 

Through my online and in-person Food for Life classes, I teach the science of plant-based nutrition while providing hands-on cooking demonstrations. I also offer private and group in-home culinary education to support individuals and families transitioning to a WFPB diet.

 

I’ve partnered with organizations like Urban Health Plan, Bronx Eats, the NYC Department of Health, and PPMNY to develop nutrition programs and wellness initiatives. Passionate about making healthy eating accessible, I also love yoga, fitness, and connecting with nature.
