About Marc and Kim Ramirez

Marc and Kim are the founders of Chickpea and Bean Inc., a non-profit dedicated to raising awareness about the benefits of a plant-based lifestyle for people of all colors. Marc excelled as a healthy athlete on the University of Michigan football team before being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and developing many other health problems such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, frequent heartburn, obesity, and psoriasis.

Having seen the detrimental effects of diabetes firsthand through his family, Marc and his wife Kim decided to adopt a plant-based diet to tackle these chronic diseases. After over a decade of a plant-based lifestyle, Marc is no longer diabetic, he no longer has high cholesterol, and he takes no medications. As a result, they are committed to encouraging others to live healthier lives by sharing their diabetes-fighting success story and the advantages of a whole food plant-based diet.
