I have a special interest in the connection between plant-based nutrition and physical and emotional health. I have led clinical trials examining the effects of plant-based diets on obesity, heart disease, diabetes, migraines, rheumatoid arthritis, depression and anxiety, and published related findings, as well as a paper on iron deficiency and vegetarian children. I have expertise in leading nutrition education classes including basic nutrition, cooking demonstrations, and how to adopt a plant-based diet for health and wellness.
