Plant Based Doctors Ireland
At IDE we work and collaborate with organizations who promote health, sustainability and environment. With the launch of Lancet EAT in January 2019 and a system change regarding the interconnected links of food and health, we are delighted to team up with Irish GPs with the first conference held in March 2019 –
A team of Irish-based healthcare professionals who are passionate about spreading the knowledge of plant-based nutrition and its benefits within our communities. We believe a whole food plant-based diet can not only prevent but also reverse many chronic diseases. Our aim is to promote the benefits of a plant-based diet to other healthcare professionals, so that they can educate and empower their patients and offer real solutions to chronic diseases.
