Louise Cohen-Silver, Ph.D.

Louise is a salt, oil, and sugar-free vegan and plant-based nutrition educator from Brooklyn, NY. A lifelong animal lover and vegetarian for 50+ years, Louise was first introduced to the vegan lifestyle as a means to achieve and maintain a 40-pound weight loss and thus lower her BMI, cholesterol, blood pressure, and arthritic inflammation. She has since earned her Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate through the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies and e-Cornell and specializes in connecting the dots between inflammation, health, and nutrition. With a Master's in Deaf Education and a PhD in Counseling, she builds upon a decades-long teaching career with individualized cooking classes for both deaf and hearing individuals and interactive virtual classes for plant-based and "plant-curious" individuals of all ages. Her goal is to share the weight management, health, and ethical benefits of eating plants with simple recipes to embrace the lifestyle deliciously.
