Join Plant Powered Metro New York and Livingston Healthy Community Healthy Youth for a community potluck in Livingston, NJ (Essex County) where we’ll relish the season’s best ingredients and celebrate a healthier and more sustainable community.

This event is designed to be flexible and welcoming: you’re invited to contribute a dish to the potluck or simply come and enjoy a taste of the shared offerings.

If you plan to bring a dish, please choose a plant-based recipe made with whole plant foods — whole grains, beans, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Please, no animal-based foods, vegan processed foods, and we ask you to minimize added oil, sweeteners, and salt. It’s a good rule of thumb to double a recipe you would make at home — everyone wants to try it! Please bring a serving utensil for your dish and to help us make this a no-waste event, bring a plate, utensils, and water bottle from home.

Not sure what to bring? Reach out to info@ppmny.org for simple dish ideas or explore recipes via our website at ppmny.org/recipes.

Hosted by PPMNY’s Steve Barbag and Karina Pearse

What does a fatty liver and a kidney stone look like through a radiologist’s lens? In this livestream event, Weill Cornell radiologist Natasha Wehrli, MD, takes you inside the body using striking real-world images and case studies to reveal how a typical Western diet contributes to liver, gallbladder, and kidney disease, PCOS, and diverticulosis -- and how whole plant foods can help prevent and even reverse disease. Drawing on medical imaging and peer-reviewed research, Dr. Wehrli will show how everyday food choices shape the health of our organs, and how diet and lifestyle can move us toward a clean bill of health.

Natasha Wehrli, MD, is a board-certified radiologist specializing in body imaging. She is an Assistant Professor of Radiology at Weill Cornell Medical College and Assistant Attending Radiologist at New York-Presbyterian Hospital. She serves as the Director of the Body Imaging Fellowship and is a member of the Cornell Radiology Residency Education Committee.
