Host a Screening Event
Share the latest in evidence-based nutrition with your community by hosting a free screening of Dr. Michael Greger’s “How Not to Die” or “Evidence-Based Weight Loss” presentation. The video presentations are approximately one hour long and your free Digital Event Kit will also include an introduction to NutritionFacts.org and a fun trivia game for attendees.
