Health, nutrition, and fitness have always been important to me. Growing up, I was inspired by my dad's cooking and my mom's fitness journey. In 2017, my mom, my dad, and I decided to try a plant-based diet. This challenged my previous knowledge of health and nutrition and sent me searching for answers to frequent questions from peers. Where is the protein? What about calcium? What about the B12? I needed clarification on the variety of answers found through social media. 

When I started looking through clinical trials, reading books, and taking courses, I realized the importance of diet diversity. The standard American diet (SAD) contains ultra-processed foods, added sugar, refined carbohydrates, sodium, and lack of fiber. Although there isn’t one diet for everyone, changing these few things can significantly impact mental, physical, social, and environmental health. 

This website aims to reach people looking for answers like I was. In the future, I want to become an RDN and assist people in making these changes to prevent or combat chronic disease. I also hope to contribute to further research in nutrition science.
