Alecia Sudmeyer

Alecia was a reluctant cook until she discovered the transformative power of a whole foods, plant-based diet. Today, as a Food for Life Instructor, she is passionate about helping others take control of their health while enjoying delicious, easy-to-make meals.

Initially drawn to a WFPB lifestyle to manage weight during menopause, Alecia quickly realized its potential to prevent and even reverse chronic diseases. Inspired by her own progress, she began eliminating other addictive substances from her life—including alcohol, processed sugar, coffee, and oil.

Her commitment deepened after her partner underwent a six-way heart bypass surgery in his 50s. Although doctors warned he’d likely need another procedure within a decade, Alecia dove into research and discovered how food could reverse what had been labeled “hereditary heart disease.” Together, they adopted a 100% whole food, plant-based lifestyle and within just one year her partner not only avoided further surgery, but completely reversed his heart disease.
