Plant-based pioneer discusses wholism versus reductionism in the medical establishment

ROCHESTER, NY, USA, February 5, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Rochester Lifestyle Medicine Institute (RLMI) will host a lecture by the renowned nutrition expert T. Colin Campbell, PhD, on Tuesday, February 13 at 7:30 PM Eastern Time by Zoom. Dr. Campbell is the lead researcher of the famed China Study and is responsible for introducing the phrase "whole food, plant-based diet." His lecture will cover many of the concepts in his 2020 book “The Future of Nutrition.”

Dr. Campbell will explain that nutrition is not properly taught in medical schools because its scientific basis, which is wholism rather than reductionism, is opposite that of the medical establishment. Plant-based nutrition can prevent, treat and even reverse chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes, and could reduce our health care costs, currently the highest in the world. At the same time, we would be addressing the #1 cause of environmental problems. Dr. Campbell likens whole-food plant-based nutrition to a symphony of nutrients working together for health.

Don't miss this lecture from a living legend and the progenitor of whole food, plant-based nutrition.

This talk is part of RLMI’s Lifestyle as Medicine Lecture Series. A recording of the Zoom webinar will later be posted on RLMI’s YouTube channel.
