Vegan vet Dr Arielle Griffiths will expose the animal protein dog and cat food industry which no one has ever mentioned before as being the most highly processed of all the foods we can feed the animals in our home.

There is the perfect solution to all of the problems we face, in the form of plant-based and innovative cruelty-free fermentation protein that is now a reality. Dr Arielle is beyond excited to share the food of the future with you in her talk!

What does it truly take to achieve optimal health on a vegan diet?

In this inspiring, science-led talk, Dr Britt Cordi, PhD – founder of Britts Superfoods, shares what the evidence really says about thriving on a plant-based lifestyle. With years of in-depth research into the connection between diet, digestion, energy and the body’s natural balance, Dr Britt brings both clarity and confidence to one of today’s most important nutrition conversations.

Going beyond trends and myths, Britt explains clearly what to do – and what not to do – as a vegan for optimal health.

You will learn:

• The essential nutrients to prioritise – and how to ensure you absorb them effectively
• The most common mistakes vegans make that can quietly drain energy
• Why digestive health is central to immunity, brain function and vitality
• Practical, research-backed steps to build resilience and long-term balance

Dr Britt also explores the powerful role of targeted superfoods in supporting energy, gut health and overall wellbeing. Rather than relying on restrictive rules or complicated plans, she shows how strategically chosen, nutrient-dense foods can help bridge gaps and optimise health in a simple, sustainable way.

Drawing on her own personal health journey – which began with severe eczema in childhood – Britt combines scientific depth with relatable insight. She is passionate about translating complex research into practical guidance that empowers people to take active responsibility for their well-being.

Whether you are new to veganism or looking to refine your approach, this talk will equip you with clear, actionable tools so you can move forward not just plant-based – but truly vegan, nourished and thriving.

Paul Holroyd is the author of the GreenBeard’s Vegan Verse series of poetry books. He can often be seen at Vegan festivals and events sharing his poetry to speak up for the animals.

A lot of his poems are hard hitting truths aimed directly at non-vegans, some go out to the billions of animals already killed or the ones on death row waiting for their inevitable gruesome fate. Other poems are for fellow vegans, whether heavy or light-hearted they all carry the same message, that veganism is all about the animals.
