Professional Bodybuilder. NASM Certified Coach. Sprinter. Animal Lover.
We are far, far beyond excited that vegan bodybuilder Torre Washington is speaking at Rochester VegFest.
We will be showing What the Health at 4:00 followed by a panel Q&A discussion (film screening event page, with trailer).
This is a film about how so many dietary recommendations are rooted in lobbying as opposed to informed research. Film starring Kip Anderson, the man behind Cowspiracy.
We are so excited to have Dr Kerry Graff speaking!
Dr. Graff is a family physician in solo practice in Canandaigua, NY and assistant medical director for Rochester Lifestyle Medicine.
After learning about the tremendous health benefits of eating a whole food plant-based diet, she personally adopted this way of eating and has been teaching it to her patients using the 4Leaf Program, which encourages people to get 80% or more of calories from whole plants for personal as well as environmental health. She now serves as Chief Medical Officer of 4Leaf Global and is the co-author of The 4Leaf Guide to Vibrant Health with J. Morris Hicks.
She is a member of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine and holds a certificate in Plant-Based Nutrition from the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies through eCornell. She remains board certified in Family Medicine and is a member of the American Academy of Family Practice.
We are thrilled to have Dr. Ted Barnett speaking, the High-Tech Doctor with Low Tech Solutions!
