John and Stefanie Ignoffo, founders of Plantspiration.
Stefanie is a Plant Interventionist, Food For Life Instructor with the Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine and a Lifestyle Medicine Coach, together they educate, motivate, and inspire people around the world to adopt a whole food plant-based lifestyle in order to prevent and reverse health issues including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, certain cancers, autoimmune disorders, obesity, and chronic illnesses.
John is co-founder, mechanical engineer, lost over 45lbs and used to live off energy drinks and caffeine. He has always supported Stefanie through all of her “diets’ from weight watchers to Jenny Craig he was by her side and just as supportive as they decided to transition the family together.
In 2012 after concerns about their daughter wanting to go vegan, Stefanie started researching and found that not only can we survive without consuming animals, but we can thrive without them. After recognizing the negative health effects of the Standard American Diet she transitioned their family to WFPB. They lost a total of 250 lbs. after fully adopting a plant-based lifestyle.
After regaining her health and reversing her own diseases, Stefanie earned her certificate in Plant-Based Nutrition at eCornell and T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies. She also became a Licensed Food For Life Instructor with the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. Stefanie went on to complete the American College Of Lifestyle Medicine, Lifestyle Medicine Coaching Program.
Stefanie then took her passion a step further and founded Plantspiration.org, a 501(c)3 non profit organization that helps continue to advocate and bring awareness to the public about the correlation of food and disease and the importance and benefits of a plant-based vegan lifestyle for other families as well.
Stefanie is known for losing 100lbs, reversing a slew of chronic diseases, and transitioning her family to plants losing 250lbs altogether. After helping hundreds of people around the world to learn how they too can prevent and reverse their diseases we realized the reason we were so successful as a family is because we did it together.
This is why we started my non profit Plantspiration so we could build supportive communities that support the only lifestyle proven to prevent and reverse disease, lose weight and keep it off, for your health, for the animals and for our Mother Earth.
Stefanie instructs the award winning, evidence based Food For Life Program from the Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine every Wednesday night. A complete menu of no-oil, low fat, WFPB recipes is prepared from start to finish. A program designed by doctors, dietitians, nurses and plant based chefs!
John and Stefanie hold the MUST SEE, virtual weekly classes that are not only highly entertaining, but engaging and educational! Together, they are on a mission to cure the American Condition! In their spare time Stefanie & John are avid cyclists and enjoy trail riding. Stefanie and John also enjoy spending time with their family creating new recipes and vegan traditions.

Plantspiration® Black Bean Burger Recipe
15 oz. of black beans, drained and rinsed
2 medium sweet potatoes steamed and peeled
1 cup of rolled oats
1 tsp of salt
1/2 tsp of onion powder
1/2 tsp of garlic powder
1/4 tsp of black pepper
DIRECTIONS: 1. Mash black beans in a bowl until the majority are mashed, leaving some whole. 2. Add in the sweet potato and mash and mix into the beans. 3. Stir in the rolled oats and seasonings. 4. On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, take a medium sized ball of the mixture and form into a patty. They cook best when on the thinner side. 5. Cook for 20 minutes at 425F, flip and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes. 6. Serve on a whole grain bun, bread of choice or, or lettuce with your favorite toppings and condiments. - บันเทิง

Hi, Chef AJ and Plantspiration! I tried this recipe as referenced above and it turned out great. Then I tried putting it in a waffle iron and they turned out great. Quick and easy. I only wish I had a Belgium waffle iron! I use this now weekly as my "bread" and I put lettuce, tomato, onion, sprouts, cucumbers, etc, and make a delicious sandwich. I don't miss bread at all. Thanks to both of you!
Sounds great!

Beautiful couple. Can't wait to check out their Plantspiration. Her teeth are perfect. Wish there was a cure for teeth.
Thank you!! I have the best dentist! Infinity Dental Fox Lake, Tom Prendergast if you’re ever in Northern IL💚🙏🏼🌱
I heard them mention “everything bagel” a few times. Is that a spice mix, Chef AJ? Fabulous couple. Very inspirational.
Yes. It is a spice mix.
Yes it is! You can find it at or you can look for it at the grocery store or the SOS version on this site: wellyourworld.com
That everything bagel is THE BEST!
Chef AJ, great episode. May I say you are brilliant. My fav black bean veggie burger delicious except yes the even well-drained beans caused mixture to be rather wet. I went ahead and dried the drained beans in oven just as you demonstrated to solve that problem. AJ, the burgers WERE even better. Thank you so much.
Why thank you! I'm glad that worked for you!
I want to be their neighbor!
We would love that!!🌱🌱
Burgers are great. I cooked some tonight... I added a dash of tamari... so was a bit wet! I was going to freeze some, but my son ate them all... I had two burgers with veg... I forgot to flip the burgers... but didn't matter...
Sounds great!
We love that you tried them! Thank you!!🌱
Love 💜 their name 🌱Plantsporation! 🌱
They definitely are!
Can't wait to try the 'reverse burger' 😋
Thank you! We hope we Inspired you to eat your plants off!🌱

What a cute inspirational couple! 🙂👍
Thank you!!🌱
