Our Mission: To educate, equip and empower our physicians and healthcare practitioners with knowledge about the indisputable benefits of plant-based nutrition. To provide them with the resources they, in turn, use to inform and inspire their patients to shift from a toxic Western diet to a life-changing, whole-food, plant-based way of living. About Us: We are champions for change. We want to transform our system of “disease” care to one of true “health” care. We understand that the solution to both sustainable human health and global sustainability are inextricably connected. Why Now? In view of our alarming chronic disease trends, we are facing a looming pandemic with incalculable consequences. The same can be said for many of our most pressing global sustainability issues. The good news is that a major cause of both and solution for both is one and the same: our food choices. Our toxic Western diet is the cause. Humanity’s shift to a predominantly whole food, plant-based diet is the solution. How do we effectively reach, inspire and guide Americans—and other peoples of the Western world and emerging economies—in making the shift from the Standard American Diet to the whole food, plant-based dietary lifestyle that is optimal for both human health, healthcare system sustainability and global resource preservation? Physicians and healthcare professionals hold the key. Individuals may read books and watch films that espouse the benefits of a plant-based lifestyle; but, until physicians and other wellness practitioners across the nation understand and embrace the benefits and, in turn, promote patient adoption, this dietary shift on a broad scale will be elusive. The Plantrician Project is planting the seeds of change for healthy people and a healthy world! Together, we can ensure sustainable health and a sustainable world. Join us!
