Topics

Helping Children Thrive on a Plant-Based Diet

Research suggests that plant-based diets are the foundation for good health and can help to prevent many of the chronic diseases that represent the leading causes of morbidity and mortality throughout the world. But are plant-based diets safe and appropriate for growing children? In this session, participants will learn about the safety and adequacy of plant-based diets for children, how to avoid nutrition shortfalls, understand the importance of a healthy feeding relationship, how to create healthy habits for a lifetime, and foster a sense of competency and joy around feeding.

Stopping the Tsunami of Alzheimer’s

The fastest growing epidemic in the west is Alzheimer’s. For the last few decades our approach has resulted in zero treatments. Yet at the same time we have known that lifestyle could profoundly reduce the risk and prevalence of this devastating disease. In this presentation we will show how all of us together as a community can change the course of one of the most debilitating disease known to humanity.

Stopping the Tsunami of Alzheimer’s

Plant-based foods are beneficial to the brain and may help prevent Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. A decline in brain health is not an inevitable part of aging. But how we eat and live can help us protect our memory and stay sharp into old age

Overcoming Insulin Resistance: The Keys to Restoring Insulin Sensitivity

Insulin resistance is a highly misunderstood topic in the world of chronic disease management and reversal. In this presentation, I'll present the dietary causes of insulin resistance and the biological mechanism of insulin resistance. We'll also cover the causes of "double diabetes," a form of diabetes that is increasing at a rapid rate. We'll also discuss how to maximize insulin sensitivity using a low-fat, plant-based, whole-food lifestyle that has helped thousands of our patients achieve excellent health.

Plant-based Diets, the Gut Microbiome & Colorectal Cancer: What You Need to Know

In this session, Gastroenterologist Dr Alan Desmond describes the global burden of colorectal cancer, examines the characteristics of the Standard Western Diet that may influence the incidence of this common malignancy, and looks at the epidemiological evidence suggesting that plant-based eating may reduce the risk. He also describes the evidence-based advice that we can give to our patients who wish to reduce their own risk through dietary change.

Plant-Based Nutrition and the Human Immune System

The immune system relies on white blood cells that produce antibodies to combat bacteria, viruses, and other invaders. Eating a low-fat, plant-based diet may help give the immune system a boost due to a high intake of vitamins and low intake of fat

Cardiovascular Risk, Mortality, the Microbiome, and Nutrition

Heart disease mortality is increasing, driven by diet, exercise and lifestyle choices, mediated by an increase in obesity and type II diabetes mellitus. Plant-based diets are associated with lower rates of obesity and diabetes, high quality of life and longer life-expectancy, as well as less hypertension, dyslipidemia, peripheral artery disease, coronary disease, myocardial infarction, erectile dysfunction, heart failure, chronic kidney disease, stroke and death, much of which is mediated by the microbiome. This lecture will review the important research and interconnected relationship between the microbiome and cardiovascular health.
