I loved this class, and hope to do it again soon!
I just completed the Healthy Kick Start 7-week program with Connie Cifelli. This was such a great class; the timing was so right for me since I have recently begun transitioning to a plant-based lifestyle with Connie’s help due to some health issues. The Kick Start was extremely beneficial for me, as well as the others taking the class. Everyone seemed to enjoy the program and learned a lot of helpful information from Dr. Neil Barnard. I loved that the class had two components. Nutrition education and health information via Dr. Neal Barnard’s videos and followed by 3 cooking demonstrations by Connie. Each week the 3 recipes and food tastings were all simple easy recipes that we can incorporate at home. I was exposed to some new ingredients and spices that I have never tried before. One of my favorite and new go to recipes is the ginger noodles made with soba noodles. I am so sad that the class is over. I enjoyed connecting with everyone and sharing our challenges and successes. Each week I would look forward to the kick start class to learn more about the benefits of a plant-based lifestyle as well as to learn new recipes. As someone new to the plant-based lifestyle this class really empowered me with the information and tools I needed. I am super excited with my results thus far. I have lost over 20 pounds and I am not starving myself at all. I love all the foods I have been making and the recipes that Connie has shared with me. There is such an abundance of delicious plant-based recipes one can never get bored. I no longer feel bloated, I have more energy and I just feel great over all! When I wake up in the morning, I am not all puffy and bloated from all the fat, salt or cheese that I had consumed the day before. I cannot say it enough, but I loved this class, and hope to do it again soon! Connie has a way to empower and motivate others to make healthy changes without being too overbearing. Thank you so much for an AWESOME and fun class!

I am grateful for the positive impact she has had on my life and health.
I first met Connie Cifelli at a class she was teaching for breast cancer survivors. She introduced herself and immediately offered help and advice about cleaning up my diet. Four years later I still attend and volunteer for the classes she leads for breast cancer survivors. I also volunteer for her Food for Life cooking classes. Connie is a wealth of knowledge and is always willing to take time to educate people and share that knowledge. I have also used Connie as a health coach. Connie has a way of motivating you, when you need it and can’t do it yourself. She has helped me transform from an unhealthy eater and couch potato to a plant-based eater who goes to the gym regularly. I have seen her in many roles: health coach, breast cancer survivor empowering fellow survivors and cooking instructor. In all of those roles she is incredibly passionate about what she does and very relatable. Connie is down to earth and a real person. The advice she gives others comes from experience and she practices what she preaches. Connie has inspired so many people to live a healthy lifestyle and I am grateful for the positive impact she has had on my life and health.

I dropped 10+ pounds within 2 weeks
I took Connie's first course that she offered at PEAC Health and Fitness. After the first class I found it so educational and fun I signed up my man to join the rest of the series! We started instituting her teachings right off the bat and I dropped 10+ pounds within 2 weeks and Ramon was taken off his blood pressure medicine within a month. The recipes shown opened our eyes to the flavor and unlimited options of plant based cooking! Not to mention the health benefits (who would have known...) I feel better, have more energy and love experimenting with new recipes. Its a win win! We are both excited for Connie's up coming series!
