Mindy Kursban

Mindy became vegetarian in 1992 and later found support for her desire to become vegan from the Physicians Committee, where she began working as in-house counsel in 1999. Happily becoming vegan in 2000 after learning how a whole food plant based diet is the optimal diet for health, today she serves as the Chair of the Physicians Committee Board and a member of its President’s Council. 

Working as an attorney for a home care company since 2007, Mindy has witnessed the toll of a standard American diet on people as they age, leading to chronic health issues for which medication is the main solution offered by their doctors. Drawing from years of experience, Mindy lives by the principle of investing her time and money buying and preparing healthy food over draining them on doctor's visits and medications, and she is passionate about helping others transition to a vegan lifestyle.
