Pricing and CME/CE Prescribed by Session
As one of the key pillars of lifestyle medicine, healthful eating has the power to help prevent, treat, and even reverse many chronic diseases. Yet, most clinicians do not receive education on food as medicine. This course will educate and equip clinicians with knowledge of dietary patterns shown to prevent, treat, and reverse diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers as well as prepare them to implement food as medicine at a practical level in patient care. The course will also include nutrition considerations for various lifecycle stages and special populations, nutrition and scope of practice, and pharmaceutical implications in food as medicine practice.
Clinicians such as physicians and nurses receive little to no nutrition education despite the evidence showing that dietary habits significantly impact chronic disease prevention and progression. Since these clinicians lack nutrition education, they are unable to support patients in effectively making dietary changes. Although some clinicians like registered dietitians receive extensive nutrition education, their education focuses mainly on maintaining overall health, preventing chronic disease, and disease management versus disease treatment and reversal.
Since dietary choices have such a profound impact on health and disease progression, all health care professionals should possess basic knowledge of utilizing food as medicine in patient care. For clinicians such as registered dietitians who are practicing more advanced nutrition therapy, the ability to apply food as medicine for the treatment and reversal of chronic disease is needed.

Calorie density is a wonderful tool and concept that, when understood, can effectively support weight loss and achieving optimal health. This Food as Medicine session, led by Medical Director of the McDougall Program and Lecturer at Kaiser Permanente Medical Group in Santa Rosa, Anthony Lim, MD, JD, DipABLM, will define calorie density and demonstrate the benefits of this approach. The session will also cover some of the most common “pitfalls” or mistakes made when it comes to calorie density. Lastly, we will review the application of calorie density principles to daily life for the purpose of supporting patients with investment in achieving weight control and optimal health.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to…

Description
Although nutrition plays a significant role in maternal and fetal health before and throughout pregnancy, its role is often marginalized. This course will explore the importance of nutrition in preconception, pregnancy, and postpartum health for the mother, child, and family. Participants will understand how nutrition may be linked to adverse pregnancy outcomes such as gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, low birth weight and preterm deliveries. The link between nutrition and developmental origins of health and disease will also be discussed. Clinical tools and resources will be shared to assist participants with supporting patients to improve their nutrition status prior to conception, throughout pregnancy, and postpartum.
