Plant-Based Movement

We talk a lot about changing healthcare.

But what does that actually look like in practice?

This article highlights a powerful shift happening right now, one that connects human health, food systems, and the future of our planet.

Proud to be part of a movement that is turning science into action.

There are moments in your work when you can feel something bigger taking shape.
For me, being a part the Power Of The Plate Conference (POP) is one of those moments.
What started years ago as a clinician-focused gathering has evolved into something much more ambitious. POP is now a global convening where healthcare, food systems, sustainability, policy, and innovation come together around one powerful idea: what’s on our plate shapes the future of human and planetary health.
And honestly… this one feels different.
Because this isn’t just about more information.
It’s about activation.
Over four days in San Diego (May 14–17, 2026), we’re bringing together clinicians, researchers, educators, and changemakers who are ready to move from evidence to real-world impact.
What excites me most:
The depth of the science
The cross-sector collaboration
And yes… the chef-curated, whole-food, plant-based meals that spark some of the most meaningful conversations of the entire event.
I’ve seen firsthand how powerful this community is when it gathers in one place. The energy is real. The connections last. The ripple effects show up in clinics, communities, and systems long after the conference ends.
If you’re a healthcare professional, educator, or changemaker who believes food can be a lever for meaningful change, I would love to see you there.

Power Of The Plate Conference Join the Power of the Plate Conference—global leaders in nutrition, lifestyle medicine & sustainability gather in San Diego, May 14-17, 2026 to turn science into action.

On Friday, September 5th, we’re offering two Plantrician Workshops at the JW Marriott Desert Springs—and I can’t wait. These sessions are always some of my favorite moments: smaller, more interactive, and packed with practical tools you can take straight back to your patients, clients, and families.

🔹 Morning with Dr. Scott Stoll
What Is the Healthiest Diet? A Scientific Answer to the Ketogenic and Carnivore Diets
If you’ve ever had a patient or friend come at you with “But what about keto/carnivore?”—this session will be a goldmine of clarity, science, and real-world responses.

🔹 Afternoon with Alexandra Caspero, RD
Raising Plant-Based Kids & Grandkids: Empowering Families for Lifelong Health
Practical, empowering, and yes—real-life solutions for picky eaters, protein questions, and navigating holidays without food fights.

Both are eligible for CME/CE credit, open to all (you don’t have to be registered for the full conference), and not available virtually—so this is a true “in the room where it happens” opportunity.

If you’ll be in Palm Desert a little early, I’d love to see you there.

I first attended the International Plant-Based Nutrition Healthcare Conference (PBNHC) back in 2012.

At the time, I was searching for something more—a way to bridge science and purpose, to help patients not just manage disease but truly heal.

That first conference lit a fire in me. And I’ve been back almost every year since.

This September, I invite you to join me at PBNHC 2025 https://pbnhc.com/ in Palm Desert, CA—an experience that continues to inspire, educate, and transform lives year after year.
