Session 2a

Brooke Ali is the author of Vegan20, a vegan restauranteur, chef, certified nutritionist & educator. She started out sharing amazing vegan food by hosting cooking parties with friends, which turned into cooking classes, then restaurant pop-ups, to eventually a vegan restaurant.

After being diagnosed with Hashimoto's Hypothyroidism, she explored the nuances of a whole food plant based lifestyle. By applying radical self care and plant based diet, she was able to reverse the disease.

Brooke has partnered with Dr. Patricia Thomson to create Wellness20 & GreenSpark Market which focuses on a global approach to the power of healing foods and sustainability. Brooke's mission in life is to share her experiences, nutritional expertise, recipes, and secret hacks from owning a restaurant, with people around the world.

Brooke earned her nutrition certificate through e-Cornell Center for Nutrition Studies, macrobiotic healing through Living Vegan Vibrantly, her culinary certification through the Academy of Culinary Nutrition, and her teaching certification through the Food Saved Me Institute.
