CORE VALUES

​

  1. EQUITY AND ACCESS
    Wellness equity is a human right. We deliver whole food, plant-based lifestyle education that supports the removal of systemic barriers and poor access for historically underserved and systemically disenfranchised communities.

  2. EVIDENCE AND RELEVANCE
    Our work is grounded in peer-reviewed science and embraces the whole food, plant-based lifestyle,  integrating nutrition, movement, stress management, rest and cultural foodways. Every program is delivered in culturally resonant ways that honor lived experience and traditions.

  3. EXPERTISE WITH SHARED LIVED EXPERIENCE 
    Our physicians, chefs, nutrition professionals and subject matter experts bring evidence-based knowledge and share the lived experiences of the communities we primarily serve, while welcoming and engaging others who attend. This ensures our programs are culturally resonant, trusted and community-rooted.
