Ellen Svehla

After losing her mother to breast cancer and seeing her husband suffer through cancer treatment, Ellen found herself frustrated with the current medical model of scans, pills, and harmful treatments. Searching for better solutions to improve her husband’s and her own health, Ellen discovered that a whole food plant-based lifestyle was the answer. After regaining her optimum health and achieving her weight loss goal of 25lbs, Ellen decided it was her mission to help others learn how to adopt a WFPB lifestyle for the prevention of cancer and other diseases.

Ellen is a Certified Plant-Based Ambassador with WeDidIt.health, received her Plant-Based Nutrition Certification from E-Cornell, and is now excited to bring Food for Life classes to the community. Ellen is available for health coaching and healthy cooking demonstrations to help inspire others to experience their best health. 

Ellen lives outside of Chicago, in Sugar Grove, Ill. with her husband and 2 kitties.
