When her father developed Type 2 diabetes, the family began looking into ways to improve his condition without having to rely on medication with dangerous potential side effects. Changing their dietary habits improved her dad's health, and radically transformed Thomas' life. Learning everything she could about nutrition, Thomas expanded her reach to make the biggest positive impact possible in the world-- particularly in under-served and at-risk communities. She believes that by incorporating healthy, plant-based dishes into our daily routine, we can boost qualities such as confidence, happiness, and positivity, giving us the energy we need to change our lives and the world. -- adapted from Amazon info.
