Lifestyle medicine focus for adult patients.

Hi, my name is Cori from metro Detroit, Michigan and I have been a nurse for 20 years. I became interested in Plant Based Nutrition while practicing as a Heart & Vascular RN after witnessing a significant improvement on angiogram of a plant patient. It reminded me of the famous photo of the LAD heart artery shared by Caldwell Esselstyn Jr in his book, “How to Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease” At that moment I was hooked and haven’t looked back. Now I am educating others on the benefits of Whole Food Plant Based Diet. I have taken several courses, including the Food Revolution Network famous Coaching Program.
I love to help all who are plant curious, plant forward, and those who want to completely transform to the lifestyle.

My journey to becoming a health coach started in 2012 when I noticed how my health was being affected by my dietary and lifestyle choices. At the time, I was a bit lost and overwhelmed with the amount of information that seemed contradictory in providing answers that would improve my health and wellbeing. In addition to making lifestyle changes, studying the latest research and adopting a whole food plant-based diet, I have dramatically changed my health for the better.

As a certified plant-based coach, I will help you adopt a plant-based diet and help you make healthier, more sustainable choices. With a passion for plant-based living, I provide guidance and support to help you achieve your optimal health and wellness goals. I believe that everyone has the potential to heal and thrive, and I’m committed to helping you achieve the results you desire.
