“You are doing a great job!

So much so that I want to share a story with you. Early on in the class you told us the only “supplement” you take is B12. Even though I’ve had some nutrition classes I’d forgotten what I learned about B12, so decided I’d read up on it. Imagine my surprise when I discovered I have most of the symptoms of B12 deficiency! I have diabetes and take Metformin, so I think I’ve had the problem for some time without even realizing it. I bought some B complex supplements and took a tablet right when I arrived home, and felt better than I’ve felt in a long time after only a few hours! I am sleeping better with less nerve pain in my feet and am able to stay up longer in the evening. I’ve had my levels checked, but of course I can’t tell what the numbers mean, so I’ll be sure and check with my doc.

I hope you are proud of the way you are changing people’s lives, Twyla - not only teaching us about the plant based lifestyle, but in other ways. You really are making a difference.”

"Love your class.

My son and his family are vegan, which is what prompted me to take this class. I was looking for info, recipes, best practices, etc. so that when they visit, I can prepare foods in line with their dietary needs.So glad the technical issues were resolved. The speakers were so inspiring. After last week, I ordered an InstaPot. Today we used it for the first time. Headed to Chili Smith's tomorrow.

So... wine??? It IS plant based. If I'm giving up coffee, chocolate, dairy, and salmon...please tell me wine is ok. :-)"

"I’ve found your energy contagious, and the class interactions informative. I look forward to the next semester’s class. And that was the best chili (carrot) dog I remember eating. Keep on dancing!

Frequently Asked Questions:

Where do vegans get their protein? Plants do have protein! Additionally, beans, nuts, lentils, tempeh, and grains all contain plenty of protein. Think of the strongest animals: Ox, gorillas, elephants, horses, etc. - they don’t eat meat.
For more information check out this article regarding Vegan Athletes and protein.

Isn’t is expensive to be a Whole Foods, Plant Based eater?
No! Eating healthy is not expensive. Sure, it might be expensive if you are eating processed foods and only shopping at Whole Foods. Eating a Whole Foods Plant Based diet does not mean you have to shop at Whole Foods. There are so many delicious ways to enjoy rice, pasta, fruits, and vegetables--the cheapest ingredients on earth!
Think about eating like a POR person: Potatoes, Oatmeal and Rice!
