Cooking, Coaching, And Support
There are considerable benefits to a plant-based lifestyle starting with the most important of all, your health, quality of life, and longevity.
We offer guidance and support to those interested in exploring and who don’t know where to start their plant-based or vegan lifestyle journey as well as those looking to reduce the meat they eat and increase the plant-based foods to their diets.
Either way, we can help.

Meet Paul Turcotte, Plant Based Chef, Teacher, and Coach
Chef Paul leads cooking classes that are inspired by his journey to health and well-being. His vegan story starts when his late wife of twenty-three years is diagnosed with cancer, not once but three times over six years, starting with colon cancer, then breast (resulting in a double mastectomy), and finally lung cancer.
Paul was 57 years old and quite overweight, a former cigarette smoker with hypertension and high cholesterol, and on medications for both. He dramatically changed his lifestyle, which resulted in a weight loss of 100 pounds and eliminated all medications except supplements. His transition from eating meat and dairy proves that a plant-based diet can dramatically improve your health and well-being.
Why Go Plant Based was created to provide inspiration and guidance for those interested in making changes to optimize their health while saving animals and doing something to improve the environment. Paul’s coaching style is patient and supportive yet focused and goal-oriented.
