What we’re about
Organized in 2018 by cardiologist, Dr Steven Lome, our focus is on the power of plant-based nutrition to help people live their best, healthiest lives, fighting the current epidemic of chronic disease. This group aims to afford people with a wide range of activities to learn and to support one another on their plant-based journey. Our activities include local group meetings, community education events, plant-based cooking classes, screening documentaries, host guest speakers, organize "jump starts", etc.

Plant-Based Nutrition Movement presents
Culinary Medicine for Sickle Cell Warriors: A 4-Week In-Person ProgramPeople with sickle cell disease (SCD) face complications that start in early childhood and worsen with age—frequent pain crises, hospital stays, and life-threatening organ damage. With an average life expectancy of just 52 years, the impact goes far beyond physical pain. Missed school days, limited job opportunities, and daily fatigue weigh heavily on individuals and families alike.
Even those with sickle cell trait—once thought harmless—can face unexpected health issues, including kidney damage and increased risk of sudden death under physical stress.
This FREE 4-week Culinary Medicine Program is designed for those living with Sickle Cell Disease or Trait and their support partners to learn to use the power of food as medicine to better manage your health.
Through hands-on experiences and expert-led education, participants will learn how whole food, plant-based eating can reduce inflammation, support energy, and strengthen immunity.
Ideal for sickle cell warriors, caregivers, and individuals aged 10 and up, this in-person series offers cooking demonstrations, nutrition education, and a supportive community—equipping you with practical tools for lasting health.
What’s Included:
- Four weekly in-person sessions (3 hours each)
