Veganuary Plant Based 101 DBN

ABOUT

Plant Based 101 Durban

In 2019, veganism made it into mainstream media with the help of documentaries like The Game Changers. So you’re trying to go more plant-based, but now what? What do you eat? Where do you get your protein from? How do you possibly navigate the supermarket?

We’re hoping to answer all of these questions and a lot more at our Plant Based 101 event, just in time for Veganuary. If you’re not yet on the plant-based train, that’s okay too! Our event is open to everyone interested in a plant-based diet and will be especially helpful to anyone taking the Veganuary pledge this January.

What can you expect at this fun and interactive evening?

·       Welcome drinks and multiple dishes of gourmet plant-based food.

·       An exclusive first taste of new Fry’s products. 

·       Nutritional advice from experts in the industry.

·       Answers to all your questions and myths around plant-based diets.

·       A shopping guide for new vegans.

·       Clever plant-based hacks for the kitchen.

·       Goodie bags filled with gifts and surprises to take home to the value of more than R450.

Get to know your hosts for the evening:

Registered Chiropractor and Plant-based nutrition expert - Dr. Paul Palmer

Dr. Paul Palmer works as a Plant-based Nutrition Consultant and a Musculoskeletal OH Specialist focused on reducing absenteesim and improving productivity.

He completed his master's dissertation on the effects that chiropractic treatment has on the serving performance of tennis players and has a passion for sports performance and for preventive treatment. After qualifying he opened a practice in Johannesburg before moving down to Durban where he joined Musgrave Chiropractic Clinic where he practiced for 3 years before moving back in late 2015.

He has run a plant based nutrition program that helped patients reverse diabetes type 2, lower cholesterol, lose weight and address body acidity issues. He holds the health and nutrition portfolio for the South African Vegan Society and is one of the leading advocates for a plant based diet in SA. 

With 5 years of corporate experience and 8 years in private practice, Dr Paul adopts an objective and conservative approach to treating patients and specialises in exercise prescription, dry needling, full body manipulation, deep oscillation therapy and plant-based nutrition. He strives to educate patients about the importance of a healthy lifestyle incorporating chiropractic, evidence based nutrition and exercise.

Your MC – Thandi Ndiza Mpompo

Thandi is a passionate foodie, who focuses on encouraging people to follow a healthy lifestyle through her popular Instagram profile and Youtube channel, HealthyThandi.

She has been involved in the vegan scene for over a year, after taking on the vegan challenge in 2018, where she challenged herself to go vegan for a year. Since then, her passion for plant-based eating has grown (nearly as much as her Instagram profile!)

Your chefs for the evening - Rob and Robynne Colepepper

We are very excited to have Robynne and Rob Colepeper, owners and head chefs at the prestigious new restaurant, Shoots and Leaves, as our head chefs for the evening.

The Colepepers met at culinary school during their long hours of training. After getting married they decided to travel using their talent as chefs, gaining experience in the Seychelles. After years of experience abroad, they are now proud owners of their own restaurant in the sought after Umhlanga Ridge.
