‘Dine with a Doc’ Dinner – Inspiring Sustainable Change
A whole food plant-based diet has innumerable benefits for both human and planetary health. It has the potential to prevent, manage and even reverse many of the chronic diseases facing New Zealanders, and the rest of the Western world, today. Eating more whole plant foods reduces our carbon footprint and can be something everyone of us can do to mitigate climate change. With this in mind, why is it so challenging for people to adopt a whole food plant-based eating pattern?
Our panel discussion will focus on the ways medical professionals can inspire their patients to sustainably switch to a plant-based diet. Our GPs will share success stories on patients who have experienced dramatic changes through embracing a new way of eating. We will also discuss how we can arm people with knowledge on why they should eat a more ‘climate-smart’ diet and therefore motivate change.
Following the panel discussion we will host a Q&A session with the speakers.
A healthy oil-free, plant-based dinner, curated by the chefs at Khu Khu Eatery, will be provided followed by networking opportunities with representatives from our plant-based community including local dietitians, specialists, GPs and medical students.
