To kick things off, join Doctors for Nutrition Co-Founder, Dr Heleen Haitjema, and Social Media and Events Lead, Rebecca Stonor, for some inspiring whole food plant-based recipes that everyone at your table will love!

We will prepare two recipes during the demonstration that are simple, delicious and family friendly! These are easy to make ahead of time and are also great ideas to bring along to a gathering.

The cooking demo will be informal and we encourage you to ask questions throughout.

From all of us at , we extend a big Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you and your loved ones and we thank you for all of your support this year.

Today marks a day of giving and of celebrating with loved ones. But sadly for millions, it’s a day we remember those we have lost to chronic disease as a result of a broken healthcare system - a system that has not yet opened its eyes to the healing power of whole food plant-based nutrition.

Here at Doctors For Nutrition we are working hard to create a world free of preventable disease so that everyone can thrive and live to their full potential. We do this by educating healthcare professionals and communities on the power of whole food plant-based nutrition; a way of eating keeping loved ones together for longer - this Christmas, and for years to come.

And so in the spirit of this global day of giving and celebration, we ask:

𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐠𝐢𝐟𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐛𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐃𝐨𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐍𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧?

A gift to Doctors For Nutrition is truly a gift that keeps on giving.

What’s more, we have just 6 days remaining to reach our $50,000 goal, allowing our generous donor to MATCH all donations, to a total value of $100,000 to power our critical work into 2024! We are only $13,868 away from our goal. Will you help us get there?

🌸Can a plant-based diet be beneficial for preventing a breast cancer diagnosis?

To answer this question, Dr Kristi Fun will join Doctors For Nutrition in our next Food Vitals webinar to explore the evidence that a plant-based diet can prevent a diagnosis and recurrence of breast cancer.

If you have someone you love who has breast cancer, is a survivor or even if they have breasts, share this post so they too can register!

Breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed and the second most common cause of cancer death in women in Australia and New Zealand, with their cumulative risk being one in eight over their lifetime. Lifestyle factors, especially the standard Western diet, appear to play a major role in the development and progression of breast cancer.

A new risk assessment model published in Nature Medicine looked at the incidence of type 2 diabetes that were attributable to suboptimal diets in 184 countries.

The analysis showed that factors including insufficient intake of whole grains and excess intake of processed and unprocessed red meats, added to the burden of T2DM.

The study can be found here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-023-02278-8

For more information on the optimal diet for preventing and reversing T2DM, watch our Food Vitals webinar with Dr Neal Barnard.
