​Topic: Dr. Shrenik Shah: Healing Through a Plant-Based Lifestyle
​

Dr. Shrenik Shah is a retired primary care physician who has followed a plant-based lifestyle for over 22 years. His journey began after a transformative African safari and deepened through spirituality and meditation, leading him to advocate for compassionate, plant-based choices.

​

Through research and clinical practice, Dr. Shah emphasized lifestyle change—especially a vegan diet—before medication, helping thousands of patients reverse high cholesterol, diabetes, and obesity. His environmental work highlights the role of animal agriculture in deforestation and climate change.

​

A heart attack six months into his plant-based journey became a turning point; he increased exercise, ran his first marathon one year later, and has since completed six marathons, lost 23 pounds, and reversed heart disease.

​

Now nearly 24 years heart-disease-free, Dr. Shah continues to inspire, particularly within the South Asian community, as Medical Director of World Vegan Vision, promoting health, compassion, and sustainability through a plant-based lifestyle.​​

Financial confidence is essential at every stage of life, and it becomes even more important as we focus on protecting the wealth and legacy we’ve built.

We are pleased to have Shweta Jhunjhunwala, a financial professional with over half a decade of experience, who will share practical insights on building and protecting wealth. We are also honored to host attorney Holly Gerdees, who will explain wills, trusts, and essential estate‑planning strategies. Join us for guidance that brings clarity and peace of mind.
