Thaddeus Kulczycki

Thaddeus “Teddy” Kulczycki has been following a whole food plant-based diet for five years and brings over 30 years of cooking experience to his role as a licensed Food for Life Instructor. A former zookeeper with a deep love for animals, Teddy’s commitment to plant-based living is rooted in both personal health and compassion for all living beings. After a dose of antibiotics wreaked havoc on his digestive system, Teddy transitioned to a whole food plant-based diet to rebalance his gut microbiome and successfully reverse chronic fatigue syndrome and depression. He continues to manage IBS with this lifestyle.

In his Food for Life classes, Teddy teaches participants how to make plant-based eating enjoyable, accessible, and healing. By sharing his own journey and experience, he empowers others to use whole foods to improve their health and well-being.
