Are you curious about the plant-based eating trend? Certified plant-based health coach and physical therapist Michele Stamn will share the whys and hows behind her own transition to a plant-based diet. Through both personal experience and education, Michele has learned lots of tips and tricks for making this healthy way of eating fun, easy, and delicious – and she will share them at a free workshop, Getting Started with a Plant-based Diet, held at the at the Irvin L. Young Memorial Library’s Community Room on Tuesday, June 13 at 5:30 p.m. Michele will also share her favorite plant-based resources to help participants get started. 

Stamn has been a physical therapist for over 30 years and she states that, “I’ve worked with so many people who did not have to be in the health situations they’re in. With just some simple changes to their lifestyles a few years earlier, they could have avoided the amputation that came from diabetes, the stroke that came from high blood pressure, the heart attack that came from high cholesterol. In fact, that’s exactly why I decided to become a plant-based health coach. Instead of waiting to help people after they’re seriously ill and in need of long-term care, it’s my hope to connect with them BEFORE their health deteriorates — to help them improve and restore their health through the power of a plant-based diet.” You can learn more about Stamn on her website, www.wellness-empowered.org.
