Ali Essig is a plant-based nutritionist, Pilates instructor, the founder of PlantWhys, and the creator of plant-based courses and coaching where she empowers women to achieve a smaller waist through a plant-based diet combined with core and pelvic floor exercises.
As a mother of six children, including twin baby boys, Ali found herself rushing to the emergency room with her 37 year old husband who had just suffered a stroke. After multiple tests, doctors found no clear answers and encouraged their family to eat a heart healthy diet by avoiding saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol and to eat more fiber.
Ali dived deep into the research and found that eating a plant-predominant diet would not only decrease her husband’s risk of stroke, but also decrease ALL types of chronic disease. She now combines her almost two decades of experience teaching pilates with a proven plant-based formula to help women finally have a stronger, more confident stomach.
Ali regularly shares vegan recipes on her popular youtube channel @PlantWhys and powerful plant-based insights on her Instagram account @PlantWhys.
