Hello! I love making a big world smaller and getting acquainted, so I do hope that I’ll get to meet YOU.
I’m Cindy Pearson Cole … Wisconsin-born Iowa Midwesterner with Arizona roots; daughter, friend, wife, mom, stepmom, and grandma. I am a healthy living and plant-based diet advocate and pot-stirrer, a writer, editor, and mediator. For many years I was a magazine writer and editor for a major publisher, many of those years as a food editor, working with a bunch of celebrity chefs. Ha! All of it was fun and gave me a great perspective on how we all do food. I’ve worked in healthcare, home and garden arts, even fashion, and child welfare. I love adventuring outdoors, or sinking deep into PLANT-BASED PROJECTS. My husband and I live in the country where we grow as much of our own food as possible.
With my husband, I’ve been doing a whole-food plant-based oil-free diet now for more than eight years – my best decision EVER – all the while continuing to study, learn, and talk with others who are regaining their health.

To read about how my husband and I made the shift to whole-foods, plant-based eating, see From Eggs ‘n Cheese to Plant Foods and Personal FAQ, both under the About tab.
P.S. Enthusiasm for whole-food, plant-based health is contagious! Plant-Fueled Passion is our daughter-and-SIL Margeaux and Joshua Spain’s home base for delicious food (that even omnis love), health, and artistry.
