My name is Kierra Barnett, When you hear that it may not seem like much but my footprint is going to make a difference on this earth. Aren't you tired of preventable diseases sending your loved ones to an early grave? I know I am! As a student dietitian at Oakwood University one of my long-term goals is to help reduce healthcare bills while directly increasing longevity. In my studies I've learn little of the power a plant-based diet can offer but there's so much more to know. I want to show people that a plant-based diet can be palatable, enjoyable, and desirable! All in all, food has the power to cure many acute and chronic diseases and with proper nutrition education and curious minds we will live out Thomas Edison’s quote “The doctor of the future will no longer treat the human frame with drugs, but rather will cure and prevent disease with nutrition.” This is my goal!
