“As a local leader in plant-based nutrition education, I have enjoyed teaching the health benefits of a plant-based diet over the past 7 years” Dugan says, “It’s now time to invite the researchers & experts themselves to St. Louis so they can relay this information in a way only the way they know how. It truly is a great honor to have them in our town, & I’m excited the people of STL now have the chance to meet these pioneering physicians.”
