Bubbie Staron

Two days after her 47th birthday, Bubbie's doctor put her on cholesterol and blood pressure lowering medications. It was an unfortunate diagnosis at a relatively young age, but she used that as motivation to jump head first into plant based eating. By switching to a delicious rainbow of nutritious foods including fruits, vegetables, beans and whole grains, she was able to get off her medications in a matter of months, and in doing so found a passion for helping others on the plant-based path. 

Bubbie spends her days working in the Human Services field, as well as facilitating classes at Rochester Lifestyle Medicine. She is a proud co-founder of Rochester VegFest and Vice President of Animal Right Rochester (ARRoc). And of course, Bubbie is so excited to bring Food For Life classes to her community.
