More about my honored guest:
I am Stefanie Ignoffo, Plant Interventionist, Lifestyle Medicine Coach, Food For LIfe Instructor with Physicians Committee FOr Responsible Medicine and founder of Plantspiration NFP INC. I am on a mission to educate, motivate and inspire people all over the world to prevent and reverse disease, lose weight, maintain and improve quality of life. I started Plantspiration® after transitioning my family to plants back in 2013 after my daughter wanted to go vegan. At first, I was totally against her diet choices but after some research, I realized it wasn't such a bad idea either and not only did I reverse all my chronic diseases, I lost 100lbs and we lost 250lbs together as a family. We realized doing it together is why we were so successful, and we have built an amazing community of people I teach/coach all coming together to prevent & reverse disease and most of all maintain this lifestyle. I currently have a whole food plant based support group with over 150 members that I meet with and teach recipes, exercises and provide general support on how to live this lifestyle in the easiest way possible.
