Hear from NHA President, Mark Huberman and NHA Executive Director, Wanda Huberman as Dr. Frank Sabatino digs deep into the history of the NHA

As the plant-based movement experiences exponential growth, more people around the globe want to learn what they can from those who have been living this way for any length of time.

Additionally, these very same people are eager to feel a sense of community as they discover the benefits of this lifestyle. This is where the National Health Association has focused their attention for nearly 75 years.

Founded in 1948, the mission of the National Health Association is to educate and empower individuals to understand that health results from healthful living. NHA recognizes the integration of all aspects of health: personal, environmental, and social.

On this episode of The Health Science Podcast, host, Dr. Frank Sabatino talks with NHA President, Mark Huberman and NHA Executive Director, Wanda Huberman.

Mark and Wanda have both been committed to a plant-exclusive lifestyle for decades. Mark since birth and Wanda for 35 years.

Mark has made it his personal and professional mission to continue to provide avenues to raise awareness about the plant-based lifestyle.

Wanda is equally committed to the far-reaching opportunities the NHA offers members, and nonmembers, alike.
