At the end of the course, the participants will be equipped for:
- Review common nutritional therapy practices for cancer
- Describe guidelines and evidence of nutritional optimization to improve results, as well as primary / tertiary prevention of certain cancers
- Apply nutritional directives for optimizing health and results
- Demonstrate the application of FAM for the prevention and survival of cancer
The learning opportunity is important because research Shows that around 40% of new cases of cancer in American adults aged 30 or over are allocated to avoidable risk factors, such as the use of tobacco and / or alcohol, physical inactivity and food models. Political decision -makers and health leaders see more and more FAM and the practice of lifestyle medicine as solutions to the modification of the trajectory of the growing crisis in chronic American diseases.
“Cancer is a complex disease, but the evidence is clear that nutrition plays a role in prevention of cancer and survival,” said the director of gynecological oncology and ACLM Nathalie D. McKenzieMD, MDPH, FACOG, DIPABLM. “This new accredited course provides clinicians with the latest strategies based on evidence on prescription for food as a drug to help reduce the risk of cancer occurrence and recurrence. By integrating these skills into practice, health clinicians can empower patients with practical food approaches to support their long -term health.”
