MJ Shreve
Food for Life Instructor

MJ is passionate about empowering others to thrive with plant-powered nutrition, intentional movement, and sustained faith. Her devotion to helping others along this journey was reignited after losing loved ones to the ravages of cancer, diabetes, and heart disease and stroke.
As a licensed Food for Life instructor and certified wellness practitioner, MJ brings over 35 years of work in sports medicine, exercise physiology, cardiac & industrial rehabilitation, fitness & spa management, healthy aging, and nutrition to her practice.
She first learned about “food as medicine” back in the 90’s while working in cardiac rehab and meeting Dr. Barnard at a Food for Life speaking event and book tour in Florida. Later, she discovered Food for Life classes while leading her work team to its Blue Zones Project worksite certification, a renowned community well-being improvement initiative.
When not teaching or coaching she enjoys working out, cooking, traveling, and volunteering in her church and the local community.
Serving cities and surrounding areas of Sanford, North Carolina
