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
(Our Story)
We are both keen advocates of whole food plant-based nutrition as a powerful tool to prevent and reverse disease. We both work in the healthcare sector - Malcolm as a GP and lifestyle medicine practitioner, Jenny as a nutritionist and health coach and together we run webinars, seminars and a 7-day live-in Lifestyle Medicine immersion retreat at the Yarra Valley Living Centre. Almost a decade ago we created the website wholefoodsplantbasedhealth.com.au to provide resources and support for people interested whole food plant-based nutrition.
Our story with plant-based nutrition goes back a long way - for Malcolm when he was in medical school nearly 40 years ago and for Jenny when she met Malcolm in 2008 and he introduced her to this way of eating. We have been involved with Doctors For Nutrition since its inception and our proud to be members of the Advisory Council. We have decided to take on the outback walking challenge to help raise funds so that Doctors For Nutrition can continue their important work championing the role of nutrition in healthcare.

I am all for doctors being taught far more about nutrition in their training, so more than happy to support this cause.
