In this interview she tells a story of how one person, and then a small group of people, made a big difference by bringing plant-based nutrition to Kaiser.\r\n\r\nThis is how it unfolded:\r\n\r\nIn June 2013 Dr. Michael Greger (who was on our show last week!) was invited to speak to physicians at Kaiser Permanente regarding “Uprooting the Leading Causes of Death” (https://nutritionfacts.org).\r\n\r\nIn August 2013  Kaiser organized their 1st 21-Day Plant Power Challenge!\r\nDr. Goodlett is a participant in the challenge and converts to following a Low Fat Whole Food Plant-based Nutrition Lifestyle by the end of the Challenge.\r\n\r\nSeptember 2014 Kaiser had their 2nd 21-Day Plant Power Challenge (PPC). This time Dr. Goodlett is was a Co-Leader of the Challenge.\r\n\r\nIn January 2015 Dr. Goodlett, along with other PPC leaders, created a webinar which was presented to Kaiser’s National Healthy Lifestyle Group on how to sponsor a 21-Day Plant Power Challenge, which led to other Kaiser Regions around the nation sponsoring 21-Day Plant Power Challenges patterned after their model.\r\n\r\nIn 2015 and 2016 Kaiser was a major sponsor of the ***Food as Medicine*** Conference  held at the Emory Conference Center (now re-branded as the Remedy Food Project https://www.remedyfood.org) .\r\n\r\nIn September 2016 one of Kaiser's Nurses and Dr. Goodlett sponsored a smaller departmental 21-Day Challenge at the Kaiser Headquarters which led to the development of their weekly Plant Power Lunch Support Group at the Kaiser Headquarters.\r\n\r\nIn November 2016 The Kaiser PPC Leaders assisted ***The Physician’s Committee for Responsible Medicine*** in sponsoring the event - Kickstart Your Health Atlanta ( https://www.pcrm.org/news/news-releases/atlanta-physicians-prescribe-food-medicine-nov-1-health-challenge).\r\n\r\nIn January 2018 a Kaiser Nutritionist created a Whole Food Plant-based Nutrition Class for Kaiser’s Healthy Living Class offerings to our patients and the public.\r\n\r\nIn September 2018 Kaiser has their 3rd Plant Power Challenge for which Dr. Goodlett was a Co-Lead yet again.\r\n\r\nIn May 2019 Kaiser’s Weight Management Program began offering a Plant-based Nutrition Class.\r\n"}
