Peggy Young grew up in northern Wisconsin where a picnic is not a picnic without hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill and a jelly mold of marshmallows for dessert. Becoming vegan was foreign territory.

Peggy was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer in 2010 at the tender age of 53 - far too young to say goodbye to her two daughters and her new husband. Her research revealed that a whole-food food plant-based diet was her best bet for living to enjoy her later years. She tried it to see if it would positively affect her cancer.

Now, almost 14 years later, Peggy is still here and enjoying life at the age of 66! She loves her family and her vegetables, and she's shifted to helping others change their lifestyles to optimize their lives.
