Description
As author of the widely popular Nutritional Medicine textbook, Dr. Alan Gaby has dedicated his career to investigating the interplay between nutrition and health outcomes. In this 2-hour lecture, he presents compelling research and clinical pearls surrounding the role of common foods in disease management, the efficacy and safety of strict dietary changes with chronically ill patients, and the use of other nutritional interventions–such as probiotics, vitamin supplementation, single amino acids, and potent antioxidants–with a multitude of health conditions.
The material presented in this lecture is designed as an update to the research and clinical advice presented in the last publishing of Nutritional Medicine, creating a valuable resource for both owners and non-owners of the textbook alike.
