Plant Rich Webinar _ Don_t Miss Out _2_.png

Join Us For Our Plant Rich Webinar!


Eating a plant rich diet significantly improves health, lowers both healthcare costs and its environmental footprint and reduces the greenhouse gases from animal agriculture. It is a quadruple win. Come learn what a plant rich diet is and the evidence-based health benefits - to name just a few: lowers A1C as well as blood pressure, reverses atherosclerosis, reduces gastrointestinal symptoms and lowers risk of some cancers. We will share practical tools to prescribe this during our busy clinical days.

Here's what people are saying about our webinars.

"I have found this work enjoyable and rewarding, and for the most part it improves patient care as well as environmental impact. I have ordered posters and displayed them in my exam rooms, my patients have been interested in these posters and started asking about them which has been a wonderful way to get this conversation started during a busy clinic day when I might not otherwise have brought it up."

- Dr. Zoë Del Bel Belluz

"I am glad to see some patients share a common goal of improving our carbon footprint on the planet."

- Dr. Matteo Castelluzzo

These webinars are interactive, practical, evidence based and we welcome the whole health care team. For family physicians, they are accredited for 3 CFPC Mainpro+ credits for the 1-hour webinar. Each webinar has two $25 prizes.

Less Masks in the Landfill


The folks at HFHT HQ at 123 James Street have saved THIS many masks from going to the landfill by recycling with Vitacore. This is only half the amount - there is still a second bag that is almost full. If you would like to learn more about how to recycle masks in your practice, check out our Green Corner issue about Mask Recycling!

"To me, the real challenge is the human mind, which is driving our actions: our beliefs and values shape the way we see the world, which in turn determines how we will treat it. So long as we assume that we are the centre of the universe and everything revolves around us, we will not be able to see the dangers we create. To see those, we have to recognize that our very lives and our well-being depend on the richness of nature."


- Dr. David Suzuki
