Rationale: Our nation’s economy is being jeopardized by our expensive health care system which costs nearly twice as much per person as most other advanced nations. At the same time, our population is heavier and, in many ways, sicker than it as ever been. We rank approximately 30th among the nations of the world in expected longevity. Many health care professionals and members of the public have become interested in addressing these issues with simple and inexpensive lifestyle changes. This course is designed for them.

Goal: Participants will learn the rationale behind eating a whole-food, plant-based diet. The power of lifestyle changes to prevent, arrest, and reverse our nation’s most expensive and devastating diseases—including obesity, diabetes, and heart disease—will be addressed. Participants will discover that a healthy plant-based diet is abundant as well as optimal for human health. They will learn how to nourish themselves, and their families and friends, with a diet free of animal products, and will be given advice on shopping for food, and eating at restaurants and social gatherings. They will be able to explain how this way of eating benefits their health, the future of the planet, the welfare of animals, and our nation’s prosperity and security. Physicians and other health care providers will learn how to empower their patients to take charge of their own health by moving as close as possible to a plant-based diet.

Course Instructors: Ted D. Barnett, MD (primary instructor) with Carol H. Barnett, PhD, JD assisting.

Who should take this course: Physicians, dentists, nurses, chiropractors, PA’s, NP’s, RD’s, medical students, and members of the general public.
