The number one cause of death globally is heart disease and seen by everyone as a disease in the elderly. Research shows that this is a misunderstanding since clear signs of heart disease are already visible at a young age.

Dr Juliette Roex is a General Practitioner in training in Adelaide. She transitioned to a WFPB way of eating inspired by her mother. Dr Juliette is interested in the science supporting nutrition in healthcare and has presented on several occasions on this topic. She is the South Australian Student Lead Advisor connecting medical students to DFN and their message.

Both doctors play their own role in supporting the health promoting charity Doctors For Nutrition.
