I have had the privilege of taking Betsy Bragg’s 10-week Eat to Thrive course multiple times,
seven times in fact, and each experience has deepened my knowledge, strengthened my
commitment, and enriched my life in meaningful ways. Through her program, I also earned my
Hippocrates Health Educator Certification, which has empowered me to share this knowledge
with others and contribute to a healthier future for myself and my community.
Betsy is not only a wealth of knowledge, but also a true inspiration and a thriving example of
the vibrant, healthy lifestyle she teaches. Her passion is contagious. She brings in exceptional
guest speakers who add further expertise and perspective, making each class dynamic and
comprehensive. Her Eat to Thrive book is an incredible resource – thorough, informative, and
something I continue to reference – and the additional online materials provide ongoing
support and learning during the class and beyond.
Most importantly, I have gained lifelong healthy habits that I use every day. I wholeheartedly
believe in Betsy’s message about the healing and thriving power of a raw, living vegan lifestyle.
This program has been truly transformative for me, and I am deeply grateful for the knowledge,
inspiration, and community it has provided.
I wholeheartedly recommend this course to anyone considering it – you will gain not only
invaluable knowledge, but also inspiration, practical tools, and a supportive community that can
truly change your life.

The first thing I gained from the class was being welcome into the health and wellness community. I also gained one on one guidance as how to maintain a healthy lifestyle. in third. I was able to recognize the practical improvements with my health with those of everyone else in the class. Thank you, Betsy. Your class is always a wonderful opportunity to recognize more of what I can do to improve my health and my life. And all the great talks by the presenters gave tremendous insight into what we have to work with.

The Eat to Thrive meditation and plant-based lifestyle gave me the best energy I’ve had for years of trying a great number of approaches. Eat to Thrive enlightened me on the healthy path to follow. I’ve achieved my objective for listening and learning and keeping a gratitude journal including following Boo’s 5 keys to joy. My buddy, Boo, has been extremely helpful and supportive in my journey to health. Due to the challenges of moving the last two months after 50 years in one home, my objective of regular juicing was delayed until I now receive and drink thawed wheatgrass from Dynamic Greens daily.

ROSE SANTOS SHARES HOW HER DAUGHTER’S LIFE WAS TRANSFORMED THROUGH A PLANT-BASED DIET

My 16-year-old daughter, Raquel, was always the most high energy, happiest, and self-confident among of all of her friends.

But, then, all of a sudden, things started changing. Her school nurse sent me a letter saying that my daughter needs special one on one attention. Yes, I couldn’t believe my ears that Raquel was being labeled as having ‘Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder”. The school nurse immediately put my daughter on medications. As, as you can imagine my life went upside down. It was devastating news to my husband and me, as well as to Raquel. Her classmates and kids at school started to label her as “special needs”. It was sad watching my daughter deal with all this at such a young age.

More hurtful was watching Raquel take the meds and have the most horrible side effects from them. As time went by, the medications’ side effects were showing up in her behavior as sadness, sleepiness, loneliness, and moodiness. For 7 years Raquel was medicated until one day when I met a wonderful Functional Medicine doctor who had Raquel’s blood tested. The blood tests showed that she was having a disequilibrium of her hormones that could affect her forever. So, one day a friend who is a certified Eat to Thrive Health Educator and now is a “Holistic Nutrition Coach, advised me to introduce my daughter to plant-based supplements and a gluten-free diet, as well as fresh organic foods. These not only corrected her mineral deficiencies, but also her mental acuity. I took that advice with all my heart because I did not want Raquel to suffer anymore.

After a year on an organic plant-based diet, Raquel no longer needed the medications and stopped taking them.

Shortly after that, Raquel’s teacher sent me a letter requesting that I attend a meeting with her at school. My heart was pumping with anxiety. A thousand thoughts came to my mind. What could it be this time? Was Raquel needing to take meds again? To my surprise, it was the most wonderful news that I had since her birth. The teacher wanted to know what I was doing differently with my daughter. The teacher told me that for the first time, Raquel scored 100 on her tests! And from that day she has always scored 100. She is now is a happy teenager. I am thankful to have good people in this world that opened my eyes regarding my daughter’s health. Thanks to healthy food, Raquel is now off all medications and has a beautiful future ahead!
