About

This is an interventional study that will evaluate the feasibility, implementation, and efficacy of an online, 12-week, plant-based, nutrition education program in a community setting. Data will also be analyzed to see if participation in the program results in reductions glycated hemoglobin levels, body weight, and cholesterol levels.

Full description

This study aims to assess the feasibility and implementation of an online, plant-based, diabetes reversal program in a community setting. The study will also assess changes in glycated hemoglobin, body weight, and plasma lipids with an online 12-week, plant-based, nutrition education program. These health benefits may illustrate feasibility to physicians and healthcare professionals elsewhere, in addition to their value for the individual research participants.
