Nutritional Counseling

FORKS OVER KNIVES examines the profound claim that most, if not all, of the
degenerative diseases that afflict us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting
our present menu of animal-based and processed foods.
The major storyline traces the personal journeys of Dr. T. Colin Campbell, a nutritional
biochemist from Cornell University, and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, a former top surgeon at
the world renowned Cleveland Clinic. Inspired by remarkable discoveries in their young
careers, these men conducted several groundbreaking studies. Their separate
research led them to the same startling conclusion: degenerative diseases like heart
disease, type 2 diabetes, and even several forms of cancer, could almost always be
prevented—and in many cases reversed—by adopting a whole foods, plant-based diet.
Despite the profound implications of their findings, their work has remained relatively
unknown to the public.
Bringing these scientific concepts to life, cameras follow “reality patients” who have
chronic conditions from heart disease to diabetes, and are taught by their doctors to
adopt a whole foods plant-based diet as the primary approach to treat their ailments.
The film features leading experts on health and tackles the issue of diet and disease in
a way that will have people talking for years.
