As a student of nutrition, Lois learned about this early on as she was inspired by the health exuded by Seventh Day Adventists in their published nutrition research papers and she began living a vegetarian lifestyle. More recently, her personal midlife weight gain of 40 pounds was readily lost after being reintroduced to plant-based eating. Her food-first nutrition approach is well rounded from a tremendous amount of studying and 10+ years of experience on this topic. Now, the older Lois gets, the younger she feels.  The approach to her newly gained vitality was shared with the world in her 2018 book is called “Cooking with Whole Plant Foods, a Meal-plan and 100 Recipes”.
