Why did Pass the Kale begin as a FREE class?
Because people deserve access to resources. DIET is a leading risk factor of disease, but few traditional doctors treat preventable and reversible diseases such as heart disease, Type II diabetes and obesity with food. Why? Because healing sickness with food takes hours of patient education and doctors (and most patients) don't have time (or $) for this. Affordable and updated nutrition education services are in dire NEED, and we want to help.
Our book/online portal is not about designing a new diet program. Rather, it compiles information from many sources, such as Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Dr. Neil Barnard, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, Dr. Alan Goldhamer, Dr. McDougall and more. It serves to advance the "Nutritarian" lifestyle, as termed by Dr. Fuhrman, the author of "Eat to Live." Our resources outline the format author, Jodi Patterson, used to get her family (and many other people since) off of the SAD diet; which eventually got her father off of statins and her mother off of blood pressure medicine (while shedding 40 pounds of fat from her own body!).
Drugs did not heal Jodi's dad, nor did multiple stents. However, within less than two years of right-eating (after being on drugs for over a decade), he became drug-free. How? By eating foods that have powerful disease-protecting and therapeutic effects: plants.
One of the tricks to learning how to eat healthfully is to realize the old dieting wisdom so many of us were taught in school is just plain wrong. For instance:
- Calorie counting is a waste of time.
- Milk is not the best choice for calcium.
- Chicken is not "better" than beef.
- Food labels cannot be trusted.
Once revealed, people come to understand how dangerous (or helpful) food can be. They realize a whole foods, plant based nutritarian diet is really a lifestyle based on abundance ... not deprivation! Curious?

Our Workbook is designed for the beginner! It is:
1. Easy to read. The 8/12" x 11" format allows
for big print, and makes photo copying
worksheets easy.
2. Compact. We know you are busy. We give
you just enough information to get you started!
3. Affordable. We want you to WRITE IN the
workbook - circle ideas, highlight inspirations
and jot down thoughts without feeling guilty.
4. Engaging. Our positive encouragement
prompts you be involved in the change
process. We ask you to journal your
thoughts (and even give you space to
do so), suggest some YouTube videos to
watch, and give you things "TO DO."
Either way, we just want you to START building new habits ASAP. Remember: the goal is not to learn a new "diet," rather, it is to form a new lifestyle/habits. This requires education AND action. YOU CAN DO IT!
