Gabriel Miller is a speaker, chef, organic gardener, and is the author of the best selling cookbook, The Plant-Based Diet for Beginners.
Gabriel was a starting football player at the University of Nebraska until he suffered a career-ending back injury. At the time, he was also pursuing a degree in livestock production, but after his injury, he began to do his own research on diet and health. Unable to maintain his previously active lifestyle, Gabriel began searching for ways to lose weight and become healthy through his diet.
In the process, Gabriel found that what he was learning in his classes not only contradicted what he was learning about health but also contradicted his own beliefs about animal welfare and preserving the environment. Still, Gabriel chose to finish his degree while also pursuing his own research into sustainable and ethical agricultural practices that promote health.
Now 100 pounds lighter than his playing weight, Gabriel runs his blog, Plant Based Gabriel, which is focused on helping individuals and families transition to a plant-based diet and vegan lifestyle. In addition to producing helpful recipes and videos, Gabriel also loves working on his vegan and organic vegetable farm.
