In 2021, Linda attained a Forks Over Knives Plant-based Ultimate Cooking Course certification from Rouxbe's Culinary School, and then in 2022 Linda found her passion and became a licensed Food for Life Instructor with the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM).

​

Now, she practices what she preaches and not only maintains a healthy diet but also exercises regularly. Spreading the word about the benefits of plant-based eating and its relationship to individual and planetary health has become her mission.

PLANT BASED DIETS ARE HEALTHY FOR PEOPLE & THE PLANET

IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO
CHANGE YOUR DIET

A plant-based diet is healthier, less costly, and much easier to follow than other diets. A plant-based diet can be a sustainable lifestyle choice that doesn't fade like fad diets do - when you learn how to shop, select the right foods, and prepare it correctly, a plant-based diet can be a lifelong switch to healthier and more mindful eating. 

​

At age 68, both Linda Oaksford, a retired teacher, and her husband Ed were concerned about their cholesterol levels and looked for ways to change their diets, but after taking a course about plant-based diets and learning that a plant-based diet is better for both your health and the planet, they were convinced.

​

After they left dairy and animal products behind, they started a local support group, at their UU church in Tallahassee, Florida.  Food for Thought – a Healthier You, a Healthier Planet meets once a month, where participants share videos, articles, recipes and ideas on how to eat (and live) healthier for the planet.

INTERESTED IN TAKING FOOD FOR LIFE CLASSES?

Now Linda wants to share her tips and tricks to planning meals, cooking healthier, and enjoying it. That’s why she’s teaching Food for Life classes.

"Being a Food for Life Instructor for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine is so exciting, as I get to meet people who are sincerely interested in becoming healthy by tweaking or changing their diets, rather than taking medicine."
