My Transformational Story 

At age 60, after decades of yo-yo dieting, I transformed my own health by embracing a plant-based diet. I lost 60 pounds, came off cholesterol & blood pressure medications, and discovered a delicious, nourishing approach to food that I could actually sustain. Six years later, I became a regular exerciser for the first time in my life.

Change is possible at any age.

Inspiring Healthier People. Stronger Teams. Better Lives. 

Today, I inspire leaders, teams, and organizations to make positive, practical changes that can improve their health, energy, well-being, and quality of life- because healthier people create stronger workplaces.  

 

I help people believe that change is possible- and give them practical ways to make it happen. 

My keynotes inspire audiences to look at their everyday choices differently and recognize that small, intentional changes can have a powerful impact on health and well-being.  

I share practical, realistic strategies for incorporating more plants and nourishing foods into everyday life- without giving up delicious food or feeling overwhelmed. 

 

More importantly, I help people believe that they are capable of change.

Whether your audience is looking for better health, more energy, improved well-being, or simply a fresh perspective, they will leave with inspiration- and practical ideas they can begin using immediately. 

Are you or your staff experiencing any of the following?

  • Burnout
  • Poor Health & Weight Gain
  • Lack of Energy and Motivation
  • Depression
  • Regular Absenteeism
  • Lack of Organization and Goal Setting Skills
  • Lack of Effective Communication 

I would love to encourage you and your staff with a presentation on:

  • Kickstart Your Health with Plants
  • Food & Moods
  • 6 Pillars of Good Health
  • Intentional Living: Making Goals Become Reality 
  • Eating Healthy on a Budget
  • Life is Short: Let’s Get On With Creating the Best Version of You
  •  Effective Communication Skills for the Empowered Leader
  • Time Management for Busy Professionals 
  • Burnout Prevention & Self-Care
  • Public Speaking & Presentation Skills
I speak at conferences, wellness events, and staff development meetings. I also do healthy cooking demonstrations. I’d love to come alongside your group and make a positive impact.

Woman loses 60 pounds, lowers blood pressure by switching to plant-based diet

Brenda Workman spent most of her life trying to control her weight — losing some pounds with discipline, but then gaining them all back the moment she could no longer resist eating foods high in fat and sugar.

She even worked for a weight-loss organization, leading classes for 27 years before quitting because she “felt like a hypocrite.” Workman says she herself couldn’t stay on the program for more than eight weeks at a time and ended up yo-yo dieting.
