Matters of the Heart: A Cardiologist’s Crusade to Change Lives and Heal Communities

Please join Dr. Michael Hollie on Tuesday, August 6th, at 7 pm ET for a special evening with Dr. Columbus Batiste. Dr. Batiste discovered the power of lifestyle to prevent and reverse chronic diseases, especially those disproportionately affecting African American communities, after the death of his father. He embarked on a crusade to educate and empower patients, to embrace a plant-based lifestyle, defeat disease, and extend their lifespans. In this Spotlight on Health webinar, he will speak about his new book, SELFish: A Cardiologist’s Guide to Healing a Broken Heart, his “each one can teach one” educational philosophy, and why it takes more than nutrition to heal a broken heart. Whether you are new to the whole food, plant-based lifestyle or are a plant-based veteran, you will gain key takeaways for your own plant-based journey.

October 31, 2018 Updated December 24th, 2018
