Read MoreI can’t thank Alison enough for her support and expert knowledge she has shown me over the past few months! In March 2022 I had a devastating diagnosis of advanced cancer. My brother, Henri (Dr. Lanctin) upon hearing of this diagnosis , encouraged me to try eating a plant based diet. He told me he didn’t want to preach to me and couldn’t give me any assurances other than the plant based would decrease inflammation and make the chemotherapy more tolerable and would help strengthen my good cells and starve the cancer ones. I was quick to jump on board…

Read MoreMy husband and I began a Whole Food Plant Based w/o Oil way of eating after we both had serious health setbacks. I met Alison through a WFPB Facebook site and began messaging her. She had great credentials and was so enthusiastic and encouraging in helping us. We decided to connect with her through her website, Plant Street and watch her videos. Her videos are all so informative and answered many questions. Then we also connected with Alison herself through a video chat and she was able to answer any questions we had personally and give us ideas and encouragement. We plunged right…

Read MoreI work as a cardiology PA and saw a patient last month after a cardiac cath where he was found to have severe triple vessel/left main disease with recommendations for CABG. At his follow up appointment, he was devastated and asked if there was anything at all he could do diet wise to avoid surgery. I spent 90 mins with him that day discussing a WFPB diet and he decided he was going to commit to a strict plant based diet. He called a week later to let me know that he met with the surgeon who told him that regardless of what he…

Read MoreI have never felt so sure of something like adopting a wfpb diet for myself and my family! This is it...plants! After surviving my cancer diagnosis at the age of 18 and over a decade of committing to my health with consistent exercise and “cleaning up”the kitchen, I was at a cross roads of long term remission with this fear of a new diagnosis post chemotherapy/radiation and what else can I do? I have a family and want to be there for the long term. It’s clear in my heart that science-based nutrition points to a wfpb diet for the…

Read MoreWhy Plant Street
Our team of health professionals recognizes the need for proper education for individuals who wish to eat a WFPBD, as all vegetarian or even vegan diets aren’t healthful.
Many individuals who eat these diets do eat an excess of sugars and oils and due to their physiological actions, inherently contribute to the development of chronic diseases.
Additionally, processed foods tend to be consumed in large proportions many of which are marketed as health-promoting.
These aren’t real food, but merely substances concocted in a lab. Therefore, we advocate the consumption of whole foods which is defined as a food that is not, or minimally processed.
What plant street offers
Plant Street has focused on making individuals who have committed to improving their health by reversing or preventing chronic disease with lifestyle changes the “how” and “why” these modifications can be done.
We believe that unless a person understands why they are making these changes, it will be difficult to be sustainable, especially since these changes are so contrary to the standard American diet and many will question and present conflicting opinions.
We will teach based on the most contemporary solid scientific literature. How to makes these changes will be coached in a stepwise logical fashion to assure long term success.
Plant street founded by experts and provided researched backed content
Our team includes medical doctors, a physician assistant, and yoga instructors who are passionate about helping others reach optimal health by teaching patients and clients about lifestyle changes that are backed by scientific literature.
As a member of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine and as trained healthcare professionals we are bridging the gap between what is missing in the current conventional healthcare system.
Not many doctor’s offices are giving their patients the support they need to make these adequate lifestyle changes.
They also do not have time to teach it. And, unfortunately, many dieticians and nutritionists are only teaching what the USDA has recommended which is biased as they have big dairy, meat, and sugar industries in mind.
Plant Street will teach information without these biases and will give you the support you need to make lifelong changes so you can live your best life.
