Dr. Fuhrman was the featured speaker at the co-sponsored NW VEG-Adventist Health annual Plant Based Nutrition Health Conference, September, 2014.
Joel Fuhrman M.D. is a board-certified family physician, author, and nutritional researcher specializing in prevention and reversal of disease using nutrient dense foods. He is a nationally recognized author of 7 books on nutrition and health, including 3 New York Times best sellers.
His message is that the physical and emotional effects of hunger undermine weight loss efforts. People on a standard diet typically experience withdrawal from pro-inflammatory foods, whereas a high-nutrient diet can lead to a sustainable eating pattern for successful weight loss and improved health. Higher nutrient density produces greater satisfaction with less craving for fat and high calorie foods.
