As the wife of a vascular surgeon, Maya Acosta began to see the devastating effects that poor lifestyle choices can have on the body. She started educating her husband’s patients and the community on the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. She became trained in Plant-Based Nutrition through eCornell and attended the Lifestyle Medicine conference to learn more about lifestyle modifications.
Maya is the co-leader of the Plant-Based DFW Pod in Dallas, Texas. She has dedicated herself to raising awareness and educating the community about the benefits of a whole-food, plant-based lifestyle. Maya’s work extends beyond the community.
