Revolutionising health through whole food plant-based nutrition

Supporting others to make sense of this ever-changing, and often conflicting, food environment, and to realise that following a whole food plant-based diet doesn't need to be complicated, expensive, or restrictive, is what gives me purpose. Doctors For Nutrition is a group of like-minded professionals, all striving for that very same purpose.

After a life-changing motor vehicle accident and a long rehabilitation period, I wanted to care for my brain health as much as I could. After a chance encounter with a plant-based trainer I discovered whole food plant-based. My body responded instantly and I have never looked back.

I have been practicing medicine for 40 years. I only came across all the evidence for the benefits of whole food plant-based nutrition this year thanks to DFN. I have completely changed my diet and dropped my cholesterol back into the normal range. I feel amazing. I now promote WFPB nutrition to all my patients, it is now my number one lifestyle prescription.

At all stages of the human lifespan, every incremental shift towards a diversified whole food plant-based diet is associated with incremental gains in longevity and vitality, and reductions in the burden of chronic disease and premature death.

Doctors for Nutrition is a fantastic group of like-minded health practitioners who understand the power of nutrition to change lives and significantly improve health outcomes for their patients. They are a beacon of hope against the ever-worsening epidemic of chronic disease in our society.

I believe that one should lead by example. Since changing to a whole food plant based diet and increasing my exercise level, my blood cholesterol level has fallen by over 40% and I feel more vibrant and energetic.

Recipes and ideas for swaps. I learned more diverse ways of food preparation and eating.

More than 10 years ago I suffered from a cardiovascular health scare. After discovering the power of whole food plant-based nutrition I am proud to say I have turned my health around. I live a healthy, active life...recently supporting DFN on their charity walk in the Northern Territory!

I support DFN because they empower people to use nutrition to avoid and prevent disease. DFN also educate health care providers on the lifesaving benefits of a whole food plant-based lifestyle.

The general foundational education, useful recipes and valuable tips and tricks revealed in the personal presentations and discussions.

It was all extremely beneficial. With some of the good habits I have picked up over the last few weeks, I can continue to improve my diet.

I have always tried to discuss nutrition with patients in the past, but despite knowing the benefits and eating plant-based myself I haven’t felt very confident. Now that I have some useful tools and techniques on how to broach the subject with patients I feel that I will be able to make a real change in the health of my patients.
