The Educated Choices Program Partners with Doctors for Nutrition to Endorse and Expand Health Education Resources

ATLANTA, July 10, 2025 – The Educated Choices Program (ECP), a global nonprofit delivering free, science-backed education on the impact of food choices, is proud to announce a new partnership with Doctors for Nutrition (DFN), an Australasian-based, doctor-led health promotion charity dedicated to advancing whole food plant-based nutrition as a pillar of lifestyle medicine.

As part of this collaboration, Doctors for Nutrition formally endorses two of ECP’s most widely used educational packages, "Healthy Eating" and "Eat for Your Health," which include engaging videos, lesson plans, discussion prompts, and more to promote healthy eating.

"Healthful Eating" explores the fundamentals of nutrition, helping students and adults alike understand how a well-balanced diet can help prevent common chronic diseases and improve overall well-being.

"Eat for Your Health: Creating a Colorful Plate" introduces younger learners to the basics of healthy eating, so they can identify healthy foods, understand the role of protein, carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, and create balanced meals for themselves.

Doctors for Nutrition’s seal of approval will highlight the credibility of these materials, which rely on the latest science-based data from reputable resources, align with international educational standards, and are already used in thousands of classrooms and community settings in multiple languages around the world. ECP’s education is available at no cost through their digital library at learnecprogram.org and will now include dietitian-approved recipes from DFN.

Together, the Educated Choices Program and Doctors for Nutrition will also co-create a new educational video and resources on Cardiovascular Disease prevention, launching in the fall of 2025. This collaborative project will provide audiences with evidence-based information on how nutrition can be used not only to prevent but in some cases reverse cardiovascular disease, the world’s leading cause of death among noncommunicable diseases. The content will reflect both current research from leading health organizations and DFN’s medical expertise in public health and disease prevention.
