Chef Bai

BAILEY RUSKUS, also known as Chef Bai, is a seasoned chef, holistic nutritionist, author and health coach. Classically trained at Le Cordon Bleu in San Francisco, she uses her culinary expertise to create rich flavors with clean, nourishing ingredients. She is an advocate for people with chronic health ailments, animal welfare and the environment. Her own plant based journey started with her desire to heal her chronic pain from a 18 year battle with endometriosis after exhausting all other options. She furthered her studies with a certification in plant based nutrition from T. Colin Campbell, Center for Nutrition Studies and is a certified Health Coach from Institute for Integrative Nutrition. Her rapidly growing podcast, The Plant Remedy, features interviews on plant-based living with world renowned chefs, doctors, entrepreneurs, environmentalists and more. Bai gets real about controversial topics like reversing diseases through a plant-based diet, climate change, hormonal health, psychedelics, and so much more. Chef Bai also released her first cookbook with over 70 recipes to kickstart your plant-based journey. 'Cook. Heal. Go Vegan!' became an #1 Amazon best-seller in 2021. The cookbook is available everywhere books are sold.
Bailey lives in San Diego, California with her husband Steve and their rescue pups, Coconut and Pina.

“We are incredibly passionate about having what you want and what you need. Creating delicious plant based recipes and curated experiences around food that not only make our lives better but also help the world around us is the building blocks for why we do what we do. Personal health + wellness, women's health, the environment, animal welfare social justice and food education are all areas that desperately need our attention. We aim to make a difference in the world through thoughtful content, education, cookbooks and food that will want you coming back for more while making an impactful change. Our hope is to create a community with millions of individuals who love good food and who also want to be apart of the change we all want to see in the world. My hope is that our constantly growing community also sees and understands that good food is the cornerstone for connection, building relationships across cultures, and breaking down the barriers that divide us.”
