Global Support for New Zealand Report Calling for Urgent Reset of New Zealand Health Policy: “Reclaiming Health” Sets Out a Path to Reversal, Not Just Management, of Chronic Disease.

A major new report by Physicians and Scientists for Global Responsibility New Zealand (PSGRNZ) challenges the foundations of New Zealand’s health policy and dietary guidance, arguing that the country’s escalating burden of chronic metabolic and mental illness is not inevitable and can be reversed.

The report has sparked enthusiastic responses from a wide range of international and domestic experts working across the metabolic and mental health disciplines.

The report has been sent with an open letter to members of Parliament, New Zealand health agencies, the Auditor-General of New Zealand, and the Mental Health and Wellbeing Commission.

Titled Reclaiming Health: Reversal, Remission & Rewiring, the report synthesises evidence from metabolic science, nutritional psychiatry, clinical practice, and population data. Diabetes, cardiovascular disease, depression, anxiety, neurocognitive disorders, and obesity are shown to be rising together, often within the same individuals and at younger ages.
