In 2012, concerns about her daughter wanting to go vegan forced Stefanie Ignoffo to start researching and find that not only can we survive without consuming animals, we can thrive without them. After recognizing the negative effects of the standard American diet, in 2013 she transitioned herself and her family and they lost a total of 240 pounds with diet and lifestyle changes.
After regaining her own health and reversing her own diseases, Stefanie earned her certificate in Plant Based Nutrition at eCornell and T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies. She also became a Licensed Food For Life Instructor with the Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine. Stefanie went on to complete the American College Lifestyle Medicine Coaching Program.
Today Stefanie is a Plant Interventionist, Lifestyle Medicine Coach, Food For Life Instructor with the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, and founder of Plantspiration NFP Inc.
Stefanie's passion is advocating and promoting Lifestyle Medicine by educating, motivating, and inspiring people to adapt a healthy plant-based lifestyle to prevent and reverse health issues, including heart disease, type two diabetes, certain cancers, auto immune disorders, obesity, and chronic illness.
Stefanie's Note's from the Sidelines:
- We are a culture that's comfortable being uncomfortable and sick.
- America is one of two countries that allows pharmaceutical commercials direct to consumers.
- If nothing changes, nothing changes.
- 8 of the top 10 deaths are food-related. Doctors give medications, partly, because they aren't taught that you can reverse conditions, and prevent them in the first place, with food.
- Take the shitty moments of your life and learn from them, and don't be so mad about them.
- We shouldn't be dying of chronic diseases. We should be dying of old age, like in the Blue Zones.
- Stefanie's attitude and method is accessible, attainable, and easy.
- The #1 change she's experienced since going plant-based is SELF-CONFIDENCE. You can do anything you want when you put your mind to it.
- Everyday we have an opportunity to become a better, healthier self, and IF IT DOESN'T EVOLVE YOU, IT SHOULDN'T INVOLVE YOU!!!
