I am a Board Certified OBGYN, Lifestyle Medicine Physician, and Certified Health Coach with 28 years of clinical practice after my residency.  I was not taught about nutrition as it relates to fertility in my original training, but I have been studying plant-based nutrition for the past 7 years.  I have a certificate in Plant-Based Nutrition from the T. Colin Campbell’s Center for Nutrition Studies, and I have obtained over 150 hours of continuing education in plant-based nutrition.  I personally eat a low-fat whole plant food diet with minimal oil, salt or sugar. I needed to learn how to cook food without oil, and took the Rouxbe Cooking School Forks Over Knives 3-month course.  I am a certified health coach, through Health Coach Institute and have helped many individuals transform their diets and their approach to food and health. I have seen remarkable disease reversal in my clients, and believe strongly in the power of transformational coaching.  I am also ethically vegan and was trained as a Vegan Lifestyle Coach and Educator, though Main Street Vegan Academy. 

Jeanne Schumacher, M.Ed., Ed.D.
I earned my doctorate in science and education and have taught for over 30 years. I am a firm believer in “walking the walk” and am committed to inspiring people to change their health destiny through a non-toxic whole-foods, plant-based lifestyle. Being passionate about making a difference in the lives of others, I teach practical ways to improve their health. I believe that food is our best medicine and helps us get our bodies back to a state of health when faced with “dis”-ease. I have been sharing my knowledge through motivational and educational lectures as well as on my website www.SimplyPlantBased.net.

I have followed a plant-based diet since 2009. My transformation to a healthier lifestyle began with a trip to the emergency room with a 105 degree fever, deadly high blood pressure and an unknown infection. Luckily, the physician who attended me was not only trained in medicine but also in nutrition. This doctor started me on a journey that would not only change my health destiny, but my life as well. I have successfully completed the coursework from Dr. John McDougall on the Starch Solution, earned my Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate through eCornell - Center for Nutritional Studies and completed the Women’s Studies and Food Over Medicine program through Dr. Pam Popper and the Wellness Forum.
