Joel Erickson

Joel Erickson is a Food For Life Instructor and earned his Plant Based Nutrition Certificate from Cornell University. Joel was introduced to plant-based eating in 2009, but it wasn’t until he suffered a massive heart attack at age 46 in 2016 when he was awakened to the science behind plant-based eating and the overwhelming evidence of disease prevention and reversal.  Joel and his wife Jill have been WFPB since January 2017 and have not looked back! Their shared passion is to inform, educate, and encourage others in the simple truth that food can be both delicious and health promoting.  Now as a licensed Food For Life instructor, Joel has joined Jill in teaching Food For Life classes in the Minneapolis/Saint Paul area of Minnesota with Rooted Green Wellness, a company started by Jill.
