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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!
