SUMMARY:Discover Plant-Based Eating for Lifelong Health
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\n\n\nThinking about going plant-based? Your body 
 will thank you.\n\nA well-planned plant-based diet is linked to lower risk
 s of heart disease\, high blood pressure\, type 2 diabetes\, and certain c
 ancers. It’s naturally rich in fiber\, antioxidants\, and phytonutrients
  that reduce inflammation and support gut health. Many people also notice 
 improved energy\, better digestion\, healthier weight management\, and imp
 roved cholesterol levels.\n\nSo why don’t more people adopt it?\n\nIn th
 is talk\, Dr. Marta Christov will address three common concerns that keep 
 people from incorporating more plant foods into their diets and give pract
 ical tips on how to succeed.\n\nAttendance is on a first-come basis. Regis
 tering below allows us to plan for headcount and keep you updated in case 
 of any changes.\n\nAbout the Presenter:\n\nDr. Marta Christov is a physici
 an-scientist\, nephrologist (kidney specialist)\, and poet based in the Bo
 ston area. She earned both a PhD in biology and an MD at Dartmouth and com
 pleted her nephrology training at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.

 etabolism\, kidney injury\, and the close links between kidney and cardiov

 y health and tips on how to overcome some common barriers to adopting heal
