The Diversity Diet

Dr Megan Rossi

Tuesday 28 June 20:00–21:00 BST

To launch our NEW MyNutriBookClub, we’ll be reading and reviewing the Sunday Times bestselling book, ‘Eat More, Live Well’ by registered dietitian and award-winning gut health researcher Dr Megan Rossi.

‘Eat More, Live Well’ is an educational toolkit for plant-based eating, which taps into the latest in cutting-edge nutritional science to provide an approach to food that’s good for us, the planet and our gut microbes. This science-backed approach is about enriching, not restricting; inclusive, not exclusive. More Plants, more variety, more fibre, more flavour. Dr Megan Rossi calls it ‘The Diversity Diet’.

Dr Megan Rossi has pooled her work as a research scientist at King’s College London and over a decade of experience as a clinical gut-health specialist dietitian to create a book that highlights the life-changing benefits of the Diversity Diet. Along with 80+ gut-loving recipes and three meal-plans, you’ll find client case studies and tips to help your patients increase their plant intake in a way that works best for them.

We hosted a live session on Tuesday 28 June, 20:00–21:00 BST – discussing the book and highlighting any key learnings for practice, including a question and answer session with Dr Megan Rossi.

Purchase your copy of the book and join our MyNutriBookClub community group on LinkedIn to get involved in book discussions and share your progress with others.
