About the PBHP UK Webinar Series
During this challenging time for the world, we are finding new ways to connect with each other. Our live educational webinar series focus on topics relating to plant-based nutrition, lifestyle medicine, planetary health and real-life patient stories.
Each webinar lasts one hour with the opportunity for Live Q&A in the final 20-25 minutes after a 30-35 minute presentation. Questions can be submitted in advance or via the Zoom chat function.
This webinar will discuss the benefits of eating a predominantly plant diet for those living with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Approximately 1/3 of adults are living with NAFLD. This silent disease epidemic is quickly becoming the most common cause of chronic liver disease in both children and adults across the globe, and is leading to serious complications such as end stage liver disease and liver cancer.
The webinar will also review areas of controversy, areas of active research and topics which would benefit from further research.

- Understand the definition of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and disease prevalence
