Jumpstart Your Way to Better Health
Invite family and friends to one of PPMNY’s Jumpstarts this September This is a great way to take the first step to a healthier lifestyle. We’ll show you how achievable it is to adopt this lifestyle through our intensive Plant Powered Jumpstart experience.
Lasting anywhere from 10 days to a full month, Jumpstarts are designed to support a large group of people in successfully making a complete dietary transition, building skills and healthy habits for life. The educational events listed below are virtual, however, there will be local Houston Area Events designed to bring local jumpstarters together. Mentoring for local participants will be provided by Houston Area trained mentors.
In Fall 2025, we’re offering two Jumpstart programs in English and a third option in Spanish. Open to anyone in a time zone that fits our live program schedule! Choose the program that works best for you:
September 11th – October 9 (English)
October 23 – November 20 (English)
October 3 – 26 (Spanish)
Until next month our friends, we wish you good health, lots of laughter, and peace!
In Peace and Health,

Hi are there any events in Houston this month? Thanks! Is the jumpstart New York based? I was hoping to meet some local folks and recommend it to some Houstonites…But getting advice from a doctor (says local) in New York isn’t that helpful and I’m wondering whether I should share this jumpstart program with my friend
