Visit www.SimplyPlantBased.net to learn more about plant-based living.

A WFPB lifestyle aims to maximize consumption of nutrient-dense plant foods while minimizing processed foods, oils, and animal foods (including dairy products and eggs). It encourages lots of vegetables (cooked or raw), fruits, beans, peas, lentils, soybeans, seeds and nuts (in small amounts) and is generally low fat. Research shows that plant-based diets are a cost-effective, low-risk intervention that may lower blood pressure, HbA1C, and cholesterol levels as well as increase weight loss and reverse many chronic diseases (diabetes II, high blood pressure, heart disease, certain cancers and autoimmune diseases) as well as reduce the number of medications needed to treat chronic diseases and lower heart disease mortality rates.

We have the power to prevent and reverse most chronic diseases, and to be healthier and happier than we ever imagined possible. A whole food plant-based (WFPB) lifestyle is the key!

Taught by Jeanne Schumacher, M.Ed., Ed.D.

Jeanne Schumacher, M.Ed., Ed.D, has earned her doctorate in science and education and has taught for over 30 years. She is a firm believer in “walking the walk.” She is committed to inspiring people to change their health destiny through a non-toxic whole-foods, plant-based lifestyle. She is passionate about making a difference in the lives of others by teaching them practical ways to improve their health. She believes that food is our best medicine and helps us get our bodies back to a state of health when faced with “dis”-ease. She has been sharing her knowledge through motivational and educational lectures as well as on her website www.SimplyPlantBased.net.

In 2019, Schumacher began the program www.WeightLossAdvantage.CO to help people to lose 50-100 pounds and regain their health.

Schumacher has followed a plant-based diet since 2009 and has become a motivational speaker and educator on whole-foods, plant-based living as well as living without toxins. Her transformation to a healthier lifestyle began with a trip to the emergency room with a 105 degree fever, deadly high blood pressure and an unknown infection. Luckily, the physician who attended her was not only trained in medicine but also in nutrition. This doctor started Schumacher on a journey that would not only change her health destiny, but her life as well. Schumacher has successfully completed the coursework from Dr. John McDougall on the Starch Solution, has earned her Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate through eCornell - Center for Nutritional Studies and complete the Women’s Studies and Food Over Medicine program through Dr. Pam Popper and the Wellness Forum.
