A two-day conference for medical professionals and the interested public on the benefits of nutritional medicine

This annual conference, now in its fourth year, was the first in Northern Arizona to present the latest information on the science and practice of “food as medicine”  – medicine that goes beyond managing chronic conditions to promote true healing. Participants will learn the latest information on plant-based nutrition, the effects of diet on chronic disease prevention and control, and how to promote lasting behavior change toward an optimum plant-based diet for patients and clients.

Interest in plant-based diets is rapidly growing. Practitioners are now successfully using this interest and information in a clinical setting to change the lives of their patients.

This conference, designed for healthcare professionals, offers up to 11.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits for many medical professionals, and 11.0 CPEUs from the Commission on Dietetic Registration for registered dietitians. Others with interest in nutrition and health also attended.

Presenting Organizations:  Healthy World Sedona; Northern Arizona University Health Studies; Northern Arizona Healthcare
