Shauné Hayes
Food for Life Instructor
Shauné is a fervent advocate for the healing power of whole plant foods. Her journey began in 2017 when she set out to improve her health after experiencing chronic illnesses related to obesity. Through a gradual transition to a whole food, plant-based lifestyle, she managed to lose 117 pounds and successfully reverse several health conditions, including stage 1 hypertension, prediabetes, borderline high cholesterol, chronic arthritis, lower limb muscle fatigue, joint pain, and even infertility. This transformation not only changed her life but also fueled her passion for educating others about the profound impact of plant-based nutrition on health and well-being.
Shauné earned a certificate in Plant-Based Nutrition from the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies and became a Certified Health Coach through the Dr. Sears Wellness Institute. Additionally, she holds certifications from Forks Over Knives and Rouxbe Culinary School. Today, she is dedicated to empowering others to discover how plant-based nutrition can prevent, treat, and even reverse chronic diseases while aiding in weight loss. Her mission is to show that healthful, plant-based meals can be simple, practical, delicious, and fun, making it easier for people to embrace a lifestyle that promotes long-term health.
