Instructor biography

I ate meat, eggs, and dairy products for almost 30 years of my life during which I was continually active in sports including playing college soccer for a scholarship in USA. And I thought I was eating healthy and that it couldn't get any better than that. But then in 2013, I received information about the advantages of a plant-based diet, decided to put that information to the test by switching to a plant-based diet.

Within less than a month after switching, I gained experiential insight into the benefits of a plant-based diet in terms of endurance, recovery, and energy. Amazed and shocked at the same time, I spent thousands of hours studying science on plant-based nutrition and the human body and then started sharing this knowledge with others.

I have delivered 50 public lectures on plant-based nutrition and hold a Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate (Cornell University, T. Colin Campbell CNS), a Certificate in Plant-Based Cooking (Rouxbe FOK), and more than seven years of practical experience in plant-based nutrition.
