"Debbie is a great instructor!  Her classes, whether face-to-face or through Zoom, are very informative. Her recipes are tasty and easy to make which made the transition from the standard American diet to whole-food plant-based easy to implement."

"PhytoFit has been a great resource for me to learn to become more plant based in my diet.  Something I have been leaning towards for a long time, but now thanks to Debbie's knowledge and enthusiasm for wellness and the plant based diet she promotes,  I have learnt so much from her classes to direct me towards this path I want to take.  The recipes she gives us during her cooking demonstrations are easy and delicious. I love her classes and love her for her caring and interest in the well being of her followers.  She is so dedicated to her profession.  Thank you Debbie!!"

"I have been taking classes for the last 2 months with Debbie Zimmerman of PhytoFit.  I have enjoyed her classes so much...she not only does she provides wonderful recipes, she educates as well regarding what to look for in buying the  ingredients and which stores you can buy them.  Like my daughter says, "she is real" meaning , she presents recipes that are not only nutritious, but is mindful of our busy lives.  Debbie has a great personality to boot!"

She's the best!"

"I found Debbie's class through a friend of mine who is part of Chat N Chew. Going to the classes by Zoom was wonderful to hear other's share how they went to Plant Based Diet. My journey started at my doctor's office when for a whole year each of my labs showed that I was headed to far more dangerous diagnosis. This would mean more medications of which I wanted to stop all of the medications I was already on that were not helping me get well. I also was topped out at 205 pounds. They just managed to make my health................."

"Debbie is my Nutrition Coach. She is a licensed and certified Food for Life instructor and Cooking Coach through the Physician’s Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM). My goal is to switch to a vegan lifestyle via Food for Life.


The sessions are tailored to me, and my health concerns and goals. She has a wealth of knowledge and I have learned so much about nutrition and health from her. She makes me feel empowered to be successful in making such a substantial change in my diet.


I also took one of her online cooking classes and she is exceptional at that as well. Really good instructional."

"I have taken many Food For Life classes with Debbie Zimmerman and they just keep getting better and better. Debbie comes well prepared to class and instructs how to prepare delicious plant based food. Her cooking is always easy to follow and she shares a wealth of knowledge in these classes from her cooking expertise to her informative PowerPoint presentations. You are doing yourself a disservice if you don't experience her classes firsthand."

I wanted to share. I was diagnosed with Barrett's Syndrome 12 years ago and advised to take medication but disobeyed the suggestion because I did not like taking medication. I was told if I did not comply, that Barretts was not curable and that it would progress into cancer. I significantly slowed down on eating fried foods and drinking alcohol. I was feeling better but did not have a clue on what foods I should really be concentrating on when I decided to get a Lifestyle coach. This was approximately 4 years ago. She introduced me to Dr. Neil Barnard's program which led me down a rabbit's hole to Dr. Esselstyn, Forks Over Knives and The Game Changers. I began eating a variety of Plant strong foods. Last year I attended the Black Mountain Retreat and it inspired me to incorporate more leafys, and veggies in my daily meals. This past Holiday season I overdid on drinking alcohol and found that I was having episodes of reflux so decided that I was way past due on a follow-up EDG and Colonoscopy. My Gastroenterologist was not happy that I had not taken the medicine prescribed and suggested I immediately start. I told her that I was trying very diligently to eat only Plant Based whole food and wanted to wait till after the exam to see what was going on inside of me. She reluctantly agreed and I am elated to tell you that Barrett's Syndrome is gone. Yes I have inflammation but am now studying up on what foods to help with that and have cut alcohol out of my life. I totally give the credit to my Lifestyle Coach Debbie Zimmerman, Dr. Esselstyn, Anne, Jane and Rip for my recovery and have told my family and friends the good news. Perhaps I made some believers out of this ordeal. What really matters is that my hopes for living a healthier life is a reality. My dark cloud has been lifted! Thank you to everyone on your end for the inspiration of life!
