Description
Plant Based Doctors Ireland invite you to Irelands first medical conference exploring the exciting possibilities of plant based nutrition to not only prevent but to treat and reverse common chronic diseases.
There will be talks by medical doctors with special interests in the field of cancer, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease and cardiovascular disease. There will also be discussion around the hot topic of sustainability and how what we eat impacts upon our environment. We will also present compelling patient stories and experienced Irish GPs will share their knowledge of what plant based nutrition looks like in primary care and how it works in practice. Please see below for details of the agenda (subject to change).
Finally The Happy Pear twins David and Stephen Flynn will be on hand to share their experiences in making healthy plant based nutrition popular and accessible over the last decade.
Healthy refreshments, snacks and a plant-based lunch will be provided. Please feel free to bring your own cup in the interest of sustainability.
CPD points have been applied for.
