At this event, Dr Heleen Haitjema took attendees 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—participants discovered how WFPB eating can dramatically improve health outcomes and transform lives. Following the presentation, guests joined a panel discussion and a Q&A session with Dr Haitjema and Dr Luke Wilson..

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