About
Doctors For Nutrition is the only independent Australian charity bringing evidence‑based nutrition into healthcare, led by a team of medical doctors and dietitians.
Poor nutrition is a leading cause of disease and early death in Australia. It is one of the main risk factors for preventable chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and some cancers. The prevalence of these conditions continues to rise, posing the biggest health challenge of the 21st century.
Besides reducing premature death, a healthy diet promotes healthy pregnancy outcomes, provides our children the best start in life, builds stronger immune systems and supports healthy ageing. These immense benefits are well researched and documented, although most healthcare professionals lack nutrition knowledge, and medical students are still not being taught enough about the impact of nutrition on health.
Doctors For Nutrition is on a mission to fill this education gap and raise awareness about how whole food plant‑based nutrition can save lives. DFN strives to transform our healthcare system, ensuring prevention and addressing the cause of diet‑related disease is the ‘new normal’.

My Story
Journey
09/06/22 1:15pm
And we're headed to Alice. What a dry brown land we inhabit. A little water in Lake Eyre as we flew over. The rest of the way its like this.

Today a friend loaned us a book on the Larapinta Trail. It certainly looks like we're in for an amazing hike!
Just over 3 weeks until we're in Alice.
We'd love some more donations to this fundraiser for Doctors for Nutrition.

I went hiking with the Warby Range Bushwalkers near Eldorado last weekend to prepare me for the rocky uneven surfaces along the Larapinta. It was challenging! Pete is lagging behind, still fatigued on recovery from Covid, but on the mend!

Last weekend I completed a 60km hike along the Great Ocean Walk as part of my training for the Larapinta Trail. We were fortunate to have a Nutritionist prepare meals and snacks that were completely Plantbased.
All the food was wholefood, organic and anti-inflammatory, which meant our recovery post walk was really fast, something athletes value too.

Their journey with this way of eating began over 10 years ago when Anni had a cardiovascular health scare brought on by her previous unhealthy diet which made her obese and unfit. Watching Anni improve her health, lose weight and have the energy to take up running then inspired Peter to join her. Helped by the fact that Anni does most of the cooking for them!
Both have turned around their health, and are living active lives in their 60s, with the determination to do so for many more years ahead.

Peter and Anni have chosen this adventure to support Doctors for Nutrition, and to show that older adults can thrive on a healthy whole plant food diet.

Am so passionate about how important it is to educate Health Professionals and the public about the benefits of a WFPB diet.
