Why I Eat & Cook Plant-Based

During my 20s in the mid-1990s, living alone for the first time, I was free to make my own food choices. After learning about the many health problems associated with consuming dairy products, I quit eating dairy, and within weeks had relief from lifelong seasonal allergies.

Then in 2012, I had a life-changing diagnosis. At only age 42 I heard the words no person ever wants to hear, “You have lung cancer.” With no history of smoking, living with smokers, or working in or near asbestos or radon, my doctors were puzzled as to how I could have lung cancer, but they didn’t care much. Their job was to treat the disease and save my life.

I was cured through surgery and a medical miracle, but the question of how I came to have lung cancer was never answered. However, my experience owning a business taught me one thing was true: if I kept doing what I had been doing, I would keep getting the results I got. Something had to change – and I decided to start with what I put into my body.

That led to years of experimenting with various diets including eating gluten free, keto, and more, resulting in multiple and uncomfortable digestive problems. As my gut health continued to deteriorate and my weight climbed, in 2019, I made an appointment with a naturopathic doctor who suggested to me that I try eating a plant-based diet to heal my gut. Watching several popular documentaries taught me the basics of eating a whole food plant-based diet, and I have enjoyed the benefits of this way of eating ever since.
