We were fortunate at Lifestyle Medicine 2016 to hear from Emeritus Professor Mark Wahlqvist on the relationship between ecology and human health, a talk that received a standing ovation from delegates.  We’re now pleased to share this talk with everyone.

You can now get online access to videos of all the plenary lectures, concurrent workshops and panel discussions from Lifestyle Medicine 2016.  Here’s the 2016 program and speakers.  That’s over 90 videos totalling 33 hours of conference sessions delivered over three days at the Grand Hyatt, Melbourne in November, 2016.
