October 8 - "Breast
Cancer: Steps We Can Take to Reduce Our Risk" presented by Ellen
Svehla, a Food For Life Instructor with the Physicians Committee for
Responsible Medicine.
Ellen created The Power Plate as
an in-person forum to help people learn about plant-based eating,
learn new cooking methods, and get support from others on the same
path.
After losing her mother to breast cancer and seeing her husband suffer thru cancer treatment, Ellen found herself frustrated with the current medical model of scans, pills, and harmful treatments and searched for better solutions to improve her husband’s and her own health. She is a Certified Plant-Based Ambassador with WeDidIt.health and received her Plant-Based Nutrition Certification from ECornell University.
