At this event, Dr Heleen Haitjema will take you on a journey through the clinical benefits of whole food, plant-based (WFPB) nutrition. Through easy-to-understand explanations of key concepts - such as endothelial dysfunction, intramyocellular lipid accumulation, and calorie density - you’ll discover how WFPB eating can dramatically improve health outcomes and transform lives. After the presentation, join us for a panel discussion and a Q&A session with Dr Haitjema and Dr Luke Wilson.

The evening continues with a plant-based dinner curated by the chefs from MTM charity, served in the elegant setting of Gear Homestead. Enjoy the opportunity to connect and network with leading dietitians, specialists, GPs, and passionate members of New Zealand’s plant-based community.
