Plant Based Health Australia's Dr Malcolm Mackay is featured in this week's RheumatoidSolutions* podcast interview by Clint Paddison - rheumatoidsolutions.com/benefits-healthy-lifestyle/
Note this interview was recorded in mid-February which is why there is no mention of COVID-19 and we were about to head down to Anglesea to run our first immersion retreat for 2020 (which was a great success!).
Due to the uncertainty around COVID-19 our immersions are on hold for the next 6 months. We are hoping to run two immersions in the last quarter of 2020:
- 4th to 9th October 2020
- 29th November to 4th December
You can find more information and register interest in one of our immersions at this link: www.wholefoodsplantbasedhealth.com.au/immersion/
We hope you enjoy the podcast, which can also be watched on YouTube 😁
