Meet Sally Lipsky

 

In 2008, while still in treatment for late-stage cancer, I began educating myself about the power of food to heal and protect from disease.

 

In my quest to learn more and more about whole, plant-based eating, I completed a Certificate in Plant-based Nutrition (T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutritional Studies), Food for Life Program Training (Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine), Farms to Forks Weekend Immersion (Forks Over Knives & Engine 2 Diet), and Culinary Rx Plant-based Wellness Course (Rouxbe Online Cooking School & The Plantrician Project).

​

Currently, I put my knowledge and zeal into educating others about how to use food in their journeys toward long-term health.

​

 

I provide presentations, classes, and workshops on many aspects of whole food, plant-based nutrition. (American Vegan Society Speaker's Bureau)

• Basics of Plant-Based Eating: what it is, why it's important, how to incorporate into your daily routine
