Meet Chris and Deana Young
Chris and Deana Young are a couple who made a dramatic lifestyle change toward plant-based eating in 2017. With a food service background and a desire to change their family’s medical history, they were committed to finding a solution to their high cholesterol, prehypertension, and abnormal lab results. After watching a documentary on plant-based diets, they plunged into the plant-based lifestyle despite criticism and social judgment from family and friends.

With countless hours spent researching recipes and finding creative ways to cook unfamiliar meals, they made advances and experienced challenges but kept moving forward. Today, Chris and Deana have made exceptional meals well received, even by former critics, and in some cases, made skeptics believers. This lifestyle has restored their family’s vitality and overall health.

Their passion for helping people eat more nutritiously was ignited in March 2021 when they were asked by a family who had heard about their cooking to cook weekly meals. This led to an increased demand for their services, resulting in Chris and Deana wanting to influence as many people as possible toward nutritious, exciting, and flavorful plant-based eating.
