Australia is seeing a dramatic increase in autoimmune diseases, with around 5% of people experiencing at least one of these conditions. Studies point to a strong influence of environmental factors (including diet) on autoimmune disease development. Around 80 autoimmune diseases have been identified worldwide and include the common conditions such as type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.The role of the Western diet in the development of autoimmune diseases has received more attention over the last decade, including the use of nutrition in symptom reversal and potential remission. This webinar will explore how GPs and other health professionals can support their patients with autoimmune disorders to put this condition into remission through nutrition. Dr. Brooke Goldner, MD, will present compelling information on the role of nutrition and autoimmunity.

There are a number of health conditions that are prevalent in men, particularly those living in Western countries. It is well documented that unhealthy diets and lifestyles can affect quality of life in men and contribute to conditions such as erectile dysfunction and prostate cancer.Erectile dysfunction can be a warning sign for increased risk of future atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease events and has been referred to as a “canary in the coal mine”. The consumption of a plant-based diet may decrease this risk [1]. Epidemiological studies have also indicated that vegetarian or vegan diets may confer a lower risk of developing prostate cancer.Furthermore, poor nutrition is a leading cause of health loss in Australia and has the potential to put men at risk of many chronic diseases and premature death. The leading cause of death for men in Australia is cardiovascular disease, followed by dementia and lung cancer. Stroke and prostate cancer are also in the top 5 causes of death in Australian males.
