Andie is a Cleveland area native now living in Boulder, Colorado. Having seen first hand the impact of diet on health, Andie and her husband began their plant-based journey in 2009 in an effort to heal a variety of autoimmune issues that they were having. Experiencing success with their diet change, they fully embraced the WFPB lifestyle.  They developed a passion for WFPB cooking and experimenting with new ingredients and recipes.  They just knew that they could show others how simple, delicious, and satisfying eating plant-based could be.  They love hosting friends and family for meals, and have helped many make the transition to a WFPB lifestyle.  They’ve watched friends lose weight they had battled with for years; lower their cholesterol and blood pressure; get off of medications for diabetes, blood pressure, and cholesterol; and regain their vitality.  Andie decided it was time to help others in a broader sense, so she earned her certification in Plant Based Nutrition from Cornell’s T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies, and her Plant Based Sports and Exercise Nutrition Certification from the Wellness Forum Institute, under the instruction of the renowned Dr. Pam Popper.  She continues to study nutrition and its impacts on various health conditions through the Wellness Forum Institute.
Scott is a Florida native and a proud UCF Knight and Florida Gator and has worked as an IT Consultant for over 23 years.  Having grown up in the South – Florida, Louisiana, and North Carolina respectively – he had a love for traditional Southern cuisine.  While wholeheartedly embarking on the whole food, plant-based journey with Andie, he was looking forward  to recreating his favorite dishes in a way that was both kind to their health and the planet.  He has created amazing plant-based renditions of Paella, Gumbo, Buffalo Wings, Jalapeño Poppers, Queso, and more.  He was an assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach for the University of Florida in the 1990’s, and has since found that changing to a WFPB diet increased his stamina and strength, while also reducing his fatigue and recovery time.  He is often asked by his younger counterparts how he achieves his gains in performance and muscle growth and is proud to credit his plant-based lifestyle, shattering the stereotype that strength, endurance, and even masculinity are equated with the consumption of animal products.
Andie and Scott have 2 sons, ages 8 and 18.  Their youngest son, Kai, was the product of a WFPB pregnancy and was almost 10 pounds at birth (and 22.5″ long).  He continues to grow big and strong on this WFPB lifestyle.  Their teenage son, Tristan, is an avid weightlifter whose goals inspired Andie to study WFPB Sports and Exercise Nutrition.
