Vegan Social and Conversation on Eating a Plant Based Diet

In 2020, at age 60, Elisa began a plant-based diet and has since reversed prediabetes, resolved sleep apnea, and lost 115 pounds! Her transformation was featured on the Forks Over Knives website, and in 2024 she earned a Certificate in Plant-Based Nutrition from the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies. You’ll also learn about the science-backed benefits of a whole-food, plant-based (WFPB) diet—and how it can support your long-term health and well-being.

🗣️ Just Exploring—or Have a Plant-Based Story to Tell? After Elisa Dworak’s talk, we’re opening the mic! If you’re plant-based and have a health journey to share, we’d love to hear it—and if you’re just curious, come soak it all in. You might just hear the story that fuels you forward. 💬

Recognizing that the vegan journey is often best shared, The Vegan Museum is creating a space for connection. Social impact filmmaker and speaker Mina Patel will lead interactive, community-building exercises to bring together like-minded individuals to foster meaningful relationships and ensure no one feels alone on their vegan journey. Come connect, learn, and be inspired by your neighbors. Let’s build health and hope—together.
