Education
Most healthcare professionals lack nutrition education, and medical students are still not being taught enough. Others who are aware of the benefits of plant-based nutrition are not equipped with the tools to help their patients implement this way of eating. Doctors For Nutrition is working to address these issues.
Advocacy
Doctors For Nutrition advocates to stakeholders across the healthcare sector from government to key peak bodies, to highlight the powerful evidence in favour of whole food plant-based nutrition to prevent, alleviate and even reverse disease.

Community
Misinformation abounds about healthy eating patterns, leaving people confused and sometimes even dangerously misled. The current healthcare model emphasises pills and procedures over lifestyle interventions: patients are thus left without guidance on life-changing dietary approaches. Doctors For Nutrition empowers the community.
