Alicia Kwok, our Vegan Chef, is now working with diabetic wellness.

She is a professionally-trained chef with a mostly plant-based repertoire. Compelled to action by Gestational Diabetes during her third pregnancy, Alicia reformulated her eating habits and successfully managed the diagnosis through diet alone, relying heavily on her health supportive culinary education.

There is no equivalent for understanding the daily challenges of Type 2 diabetes quite the same as living with the disease.

For Alicia, the greatest lesson was that the dietary prescription for diabetes is the well-balanced formula most of us should be following. As a result, she developed highly adaptable, vegetable-centric culinary guidelines that she continues to employ today, and for which she is eager to share with clients.

Alicia is a mother of three with an innate passion for all things food. She received her Culinary Degree from the Natural Gourmet Institute and holds a BBA from the Stephen M. Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor.
