A STORY FROM DR. ROB KERR
"Last year, I had an MI…which took me by complete surprise. I had NO risk factors at all. The cardiologist said it was stress related. After my stent, I decided that I would be very good about what I ate. Now…I always ate healthy foods (along with liking ‘junk food’ like everyone does…it tastes good!)…but decided that I would increase the amount of plants and reduce everything else. I did and had lots more energy, felt better, and a bonus…lost the ‘extra’ few kg I had accumulated (well…my clothing grew…it had shrunk in the closet before that!)."
- Dr. Rob Kerr, Family Physician

REMINDER: YOUR CHALLENGE FOR JULY
PRESCRIBE PLANT-RICH
A reminder that your July challenge is to prescribe plant-rich by using our plant prescription tool.

We encourage you to use our EMR embedded plant-rich prescription tool to prescribe a plant rich diet to a patient. This prescription tool is compatible with Telus PSS, Oscar, Accuro, and P&P, and reduces risks of certain diseases, reverses some diseases, and improves mental and physical wellbeing.  

For more information about prescribing plant-rich diets, here is our handy infographic and check out the challenge email here!
Need help with our challenges? The Green Team is here for you! Contact the Green Team and we will be happy to get you started!
