ABOUT HENRY & HENRY
Henry & Henry are Annette and Graham Henry.
Having come to the realisation that a plant-strong, or ideally, a fully plant-based way of eating, has to become more mainstream, we have sought to immerse ourselves in education that might help us understand how food has had such a profound impact on the health of each of us.
We found Mastering Raw Food Nutrition and Educator course, a thoroughly in-depth examination of wholefood plant-based nutrition delivered as a one year course by two of America's leading plant-based educators, Drs Rick and Karin Dina. Taking this course was one of the best decisions we have ever made which has prompted changes to our own diet now with a greater emphasis on fruits and vegetables, many of these in their natural raw state, but we also include some cooked foods in some of our meals. We are excited about sharing more of this unique research-based information to help you make plant-based living truly successful and enjoyable.
The health and happiness of an individual is a constantly evolving and, we believe, worthwhile endeavour for each of us and it is our privilege to play a role in inspiring others to take new steps towards this in their own lives. We know too that happier, healthier individuals have a potently positive effect on those around them and when this is multiplied, entire communities have a better chance of living and working more harmoniously. Furthermore, we know that healthier food choices have a much wider impact on the world around us and on the other beings with whom we share the planet. How then could we not make it our mission to share what we know and encourage a Conversation about the importance of plant based nutrition?
