Breast cancer affected Ellen’s mother, aunt and both sisters. Determined to beat the odds, Ellen adopted a plant-based lifestyle decades ago and continues competing, speaking, coaching and inspiring others well into her 70s.
Ellen's family was part of the BRCA1/BRCA2 gene studies. She is the only adult female in her family without. Running since 1980, vegan for most of that time with zero arthritis or other injuries, she easily looks 20 years younger and often gets “carded” at races before she hops on the podium for her age group award
Ellen speaks frequently all over the US about longevity as a super ager and the topics of her scroll-stopping six books.
Ellen almost died of a colon blockage at 28 and has fought off autoimmune diseases. At 73, fitness testing showed markers comparable to someone decades younger.
Ellen is the author of 6 vegan health and fitness books including Eat Vegan on $4 a Day. Because of her being the only female in the 70 to 74-year-old age group at the 2022 US National Senior Games to compete in all 7 track events (and placed in 3 of them), the largest online platform of free classes for adults 55+, Get Set Up, chose Ellen as their first sponsored athlete and she continues to be sponsored by them.
Ellen has taught aerobics classes at LA Fitness and elsewhere southwest Florida and is currently a certified personal trainer at Crunch in Sarasota. She loves inspiring others.
She has seen many reversals of diseases and conditions teaching Food for Life classes,
