About the Summit

The Plant-Based Health and Wellness Summit were envisioned by the founders Jerry Casados and Kelley Williamson to empower individuals to take control of their health. The theme of the Summit is about living a healthy lifestyle with the emphasis on the four major components of a healthy lifestyle: Diet/Nutrition, Stress Relieve, Love/Support, and Movement. The Summit is dedicated to broadening the understanding and knowledge about all four of these components.

This annual summit offers a transformational outlook on health, leaving you feeling empowered and in control of your vibrant life through a complete 2-day wellness education from world-renowned speakers, culinary chef demos, gourmet plant-based meals and nutritional education.

It is about the food and the healing power it provides when you eat nutrient-dense plant-based whole foods.
