ABOUT THE PLANT-BASED NUTRITION SUPPORT GROUP

The Plant Based Nutrition Support Group (PBNSG) was founded by Paul Chatlin, who at 56 years old was told he had three blocked coronary arteries: one at 100% and two at 65% blocked. Minutes before being wheeled into the operating room, his cardiologist suggested he try a whole food plant-based nutrition plan. Paul decided to proceed with the plan to reverse his heart ailments, and within weeks his chest pains had ceased. Soon his cholesterol levels dropped dramatically. Championed by Caldwell Esselstyn, MD, this diet reduces, and often reverses, the effects of cardiovascular disease, as in Paul’s case. Today, Paul is as healthy and active as ever.

PBNSG offers kindness, support, and the resources necessary to change your life! It offers a paid membership program as well as free events. Visit https://www.pbnsg.org/
