• Introduce yourself.
• Hi, I'm Terry Chrisman. I'm a whole-food plant- based nutritionist, board certified by the American College of Lifestyle Medicine. When my dad tragically and unexpectedly died at the early age of 52 I learned as much as I could about how to prevent lifestyle-based disease in the hope that I can help others avoid the same fate. I'm passionate about simplifying complex evidence-based scientific studies to make them understandable and actionable to the layperson concerned about their health. I'm writing a book for the general public on how a plant-based lifestyle can stave off diseases like heart disease, diabetes and obesity. And my hope for this book is that it helps people age with excellent health and vitality. Previously, I worked for the nonprofit organization the Physicians Association for Nutrition, and there I researched, wrote and presented educational videos for doctors, health professionals and medical students on the benefits of incorporating plant-based nutrition into their treatment practices. I speak about plant-based nutrition and its potential for disease prevention to empower individuals to make informed decisions that benefit their health. My greatest achievement would be inspiring somebody to adopt healthy lifestyle practices so that they can avoid a life of illness or premature death. I'd love to speak on your stage and give your audience this life-saving information. So contact me and let me know how I can benefit your event.
• Tell us what you do.
• I have worked with individuals, but now I'm ready to really help people on a larger scale. I'm currently writing a book for the general public on how a plant-based lifestyle can stave off diseases like heart disease, diabetes and obesity. My hope with this book is that it helps people age with excellent health and vitality. Previously, I worked for the nonprofit organization the Physicians Association for Nutrition, and there I researched, wrote and presented educational videos for doctors, medical students and other health professionals on the benefits of incorporating lifestyle- medicine and plant-based nutrition into their treatment practices.
• Tell us about your signature talk.
• The key message of my signature talk is to inform the audience of the benefits to their health of adopting more plant-based foods into their diet. And I believe it resonates with audiences because people are generally confused and overwhelmed by conflicting messages about nutrition. In my signature talk, I speak about the food system in America and how it's designed to make people overconsume, leading to obesity and ill health. I discuss the benefits of plant-based nutrition and its potential for disease prevention. One of the main takeaways from my signature talk is showing the audience how to make simple changes to their diet and lifestyle that can have remarkable effects on their well-being, and I believe that this can inspire and empower individuals to make informed decisions that improve their health. I've had the opportunity to deliver my signature talk to various audiences who are usually surprised that this information was being kept from them, and eager to make immediate dietary changes and this reinforces the significance of the message that I share, so moving forward, I'm excited to continue sharing my signature talk with more audiences, and my greatest wish is to inspire your audience to adopt healthy lifestyle choices, so that they can avoid a life of illness and potentially premature death. I'd love to speak on your stage and give your audience this life-saving information. So contact me and let me know how I can benefit your event. I hope to speak to you soon.
