Dr, Davis' Website: https://www.drnikidavis.com/

Niki Davis, MD is a “rocket scientist” turned physician. She is board certified in both family medicine and lifestyle medicine. At age 13, she started removing animal products from her diet because she didn’t feel it was healthy. Once in college, she obtained bachelor and master degrees in mechanical engineering and worked on the space shuttle program for several years. However, instead of rockets on her mind, she was constantly thinking about health and nutrition - helping her own family members improve their health and their lives by switching to a plant based lifestyle.

She eventually found her way back to her passion after leaving her engineering career to apply for medical school. She graduated from the University of Utah School of Medicine in 2017 and completed a Family Medicine residency program in 2020. While in residency, in addition to serving as Wellness Chief, she helped form Plant Based Montana, an advocacy group with the mission to educate healthcare providers and the general public about the benefits of a plant based diet.

She has had the pleasure of speaking at plant based events around the country and has been lucky enough to train with phenomenal mentors such as Dr. John McDougall, Dr. Michael Klaper, Dr. Anthony Lim, Dr. Alan Goldhamer, and Dr. Laurie Marbas. She has a certificate in plant based nutrition from the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies through eCornell and is certified in The Starch Solution.

Creamy Cauliflower Cheese Ball

Cauliflower Cheese

1 cup Raw Sunflower Seeds

2 cups Frozen Cauliflower

4 Tbsp Lemon Juice

3 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar (with the Mother) (use 2 Tbsp if you prefer less tangy)

1/2 tsp Onion Powder, unsalted

2 Tbsp Miso Paste (can be purchased from any local Asian market)

3 Tbsp Tapioca Starch

2 ½ tsp Hickory Smoked Torula Yeast (or Nutritional Yeast)

½ tsp Lactic Acid

½ cup Hot Water

Agar Agar Thickner

3/4 cup Water

1 1/2 Tbsp Agar Agar Powder

Garnish

Smoked Paprika

Dried Parsley

Dash "Everything But Salt"

INSTRUCTIONS

Place a steamer basket in a pan with water. Add the Sunflower Seeds and Cauliflower to the steamer basket. Cover the pan. Bring the water to a boil. Steam for 8 minutes.

While the veggies and sunflower seeds are steaming, add the remaining cheese spices into a blender. Then add the steamed veggies and seeds along with 1/2 cup of hot water from the pan to the blender. Blend until smooth.

In a saucepan, add 3/4 cup of water and Agar Agar. Stir until well combined. Bring contents to a boil. Cook for 4-6 minutes, continually stirring with a spatula. The Agar will thicken. Continue to stir until it starts to form into a thick jelly-like consistency. Immediately add to the blender with the cheese mixture and blend until completely smooth.

Transfer the cheese contents into two containers lined with "cling wrap". Place the containers in the fridge, uncovered for at least 1 -2 hours. The longer the cheese chill the firmer it gets.

Invert the firm cheese ball onto a plate. Garnish with spices and herbs. I prefer to sprinkle and press the spices and herbs into the cheese ball with my hand. Another option would be to sprinkle the herbs and spices onto a plate and then roll the cheese ball gently until coated as desired.

Place onto a plate and serve. Enjoy!

Note: The cheese ball can be stored covered in the fridge for up to 7-10 days.

: three times better than amazing

Cindy wants you to be Trimazing—three times better than amazing! After improving her health and fitness through plant-based nutrition, losing 60 pounds, and becoming an adult-onset athlete, she retired from her 20-year firefighting career to help people just like you. She works with people and organizations so they can reach their health and wellness goals.

Shortly after her father died from blood cancer in 2008, blood and other cancers were designated as presumptive illnesses for professional firefighters in her state, prompting Cindy to research how to reduce her personal cancer risk. She discovered that a whole food, plant-based vegan diet that eliminated the consumption of animal products could be key to her health and cancer prevention. Without going on a diet and just putting better fuel (food) into her body, Cindy dropped 60 pounds, 7 uniform pants sizes, 3 uniform shirt sizes, and dropped her cholesterol and blood pressure readings in one year. Beyond looking better, her fitness level soared, and gave her new energy she could not contain. At the age of 38, Cindy became an adult-onset athlete, competing and medaling in marathons, triathlons, open water swim races, and endurance events! Best of all, she’s been able to maintain this without dieting or feeling deprived!

Her fire department was so impressed by her transformation that they put her in charge of the newly formed Wellness Fitness Initiative, a collaborative program between the International Association of Firefighters and International Association of Fire Chiefs. Cindy is a decorated Fire Captain and paramedic, awarded Firefighter of the Year and Oregon State Paramedic of the Year. As part of the prestigious Executive Fire Officer Program at the U.S. Fire Academy, Cindy published original research on firefighter and public safety.

Now that she’s retired from the fire service, Cindy shares her knowledge, experience, and infectious enthusiasm for food, health, and fitness as a certified Health Coach, Master Vegan Lifestyle Coach and Educator, Fitness Nutrition Specialist, and Fit2Thrive Firefighter Fitness Trainer through her business, Trimazing! Health & Lifestyle Coaching. She is a Food for Life Instructor with the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, Rouxbe Plant-Based Professional, and Harvard Medical School Culinary Coach, teaching people how to prepare delicious, satisfying, and health-promoting meals.

Our health and wellness are closely tied to the health of our environment. Cindy incorporates zero-waste and sustainable practices throughout her programs. You’ll see it IS easy being green!

https://www.venusdemarco.org/2022/10/19/simple-cream-cheese/

https://www.venusdemarco.org/2022/10/19/cranberry-fig-cheese/

Venus DeMarco has never met a stranger and within the first five minutes of

meeting her, you’ll understand why. She draws you in with her engaging

questions and vivacious personality—it will feel like you’ve known her for years.

When Venus was diagnosed with breast cancer over twelve years ago, doctors recommended that she have a double mastectomy followed by chemotherapy. She rejected their conventional methods and their fear and instead, she embraced her faith and chose various natural treatments. After one year, the cancer had not spread, and the tumor had shrunk. Just two years later, she was cancer free and has been ever since. Venus’s book, “Fearless” is a memoir that details this life-changing journey.

She is an author, national speaker and cooking educator who currently resides in Florida and feels at home in Austin, Texas. Her mission is simple—to get people back into the

kitchen, communing with friends and family and making healthy and nourishing meals from her “My Healing Kitchen” cookbook. She dreams of launching a plant-based (vegan) cooking show to millions around the globe. Venus lives her mission and when she isn’t creating

magic in the kitchen, you’ll find her spending time outdoors with close friends and family or paddle boarding with her adopted dog (and sidekick), Stella.
