Plant-based diets (PBD) have been embraced as a healthy dietary regimen with well recognized health and environmental benefits. According to a US News and World Report survey, the use of plant-based diets has more than doubled in the past decade, from 12% in 2012 to 26% in 2022. Because of differences in ways they are defined and adopted, plant-based diets may vary widely in nutritional composition and food selections. Consequently, the impact on preventing or reversing metabolic syndrome, characterized by central obesity, dyslipidemia insulin resistance, hypertension and low-grade inflammation, varies based on the type of plant-based diet consumed. During this webinar, we will explore different types of plant-based diets and their impact on a variety of health biomarkers that affect chronic disease risk. The practitioner will leave with a greater understanding of the latest evidence-base on plant-based diets by type and receive additional guidance that may positively affect a patient’s food choices and eating plan adherence.
