Taking an individualized, root cause approach to health.
I make healthy living simple by providing evidence-based education on lifestyle habits that support lifelong wellness.
Hi! I’m Dr. Rachel Franks, founder of Plant-Powered Health & Wellness. I am a board-certified clinical pharmacist and certified diabetes care and education specialist with over 20 years of experience in diabetes care, chronic disease prevention and management, and patient education. I am passionate about helping people realize that a chronic disease doesn’t have to feel like a life sentence.
Through evidence-based lifestyle changes, many chronic conditions can be prevented, treated, and sometimes even put into remission.
I’ve had the privilege of helping thousands of individuals and groups of people make lasting lifestyle changes to improve their health and well-being.
My approach is practical, compassionate, and judgment-free. I believe that education is foundational for successfully making small, consistent changes which lead to remarkable health outcomes. Empowering people allows them to reclaim their health and live with greater energy, confidence, and vitality.
My mission is simple. To help you: Get well. Stay well. Live fully.
Supporting and empowering you in achieving and maintaining a healthy, balanced life.
I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to health. My goal is to educate you on simple, evidence-based lifestyle strategies tailored to your unique needs so you’ll empowered to build sustainable habits that support lasting health and well-being.

Why partner with me?
Choosing to work with me means partnering with an educator dedicated to empowering you on your health and wellness journey. I stay current with research in lifestyle medicine and chronic disease prevention to provide evidence-based education and practical strategies you can put into action. My approach is compassionate, nonjudgmental, and focused on helping you discover sustainable lifestyle changes that work for you.
If you’re living with one or more chronic conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or cardiovascular disease—or have been encouraged to make lifestyle changes or to lose weight—you may have spent years feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start. You don’t have to navigate the journey alone. Through evidence-based education and practical, sustainable strategies, I can help you better understand the role lifestyle plays in health, explore changes that fit your life, and feel empowered to take meaningful steps toward lasting wellness.
