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.
