Cindy Raquel - DRAFT Orozco Vargas

Raquel has been eating a plant-based diet for over 10 years. She began her journey in 2007 as a vegetarian; then, after learning about it online and watching documentaries, she became vegan. Not long after, she went plant-based. As a child, she was very sickly, constantly suffering from the flu, colds, stomach aches, constipation, and more. She suffered a lot and was always tired, with little energy, and she barely enjoyed playing with toys, drawing, or going to school. She is trained in plant-based nutrition through the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies, where she earned her certification in 2019. She discovered that she was severely allergic to dairy, which explained all her suffering. Now, she wants to help others, along with her family, by teaching about plant-based eating so they don't have to suffer like she did.
