Description:
Diet has been identified as the single most important risk factor for morbidity and mortality, yet most healthcare providers spend relatively few hours learning about nutrition during their formal training. The limited nutrition education that is offered in medical and health professional programs is often focused on the biochemistry of nutrients and health consequences of deficiency states. Unfortunately, that content is of limited use in most clinical settings where the majority of the population faces over-nutrition due to high intake of ultra-processed, calorie-dense, high saturated fat-laden foods. Patients and clients are coming to you with questions because they need someone they can trust to provide sound guidance for nutrition. Join Dr. Idrees Mughal for this webinar, who will provide you with scientifically sound facts about food and nutrition that will improve your patients’ overall health, and help decrease chronic disease.
