Pediatric Culinary Medicine: Integration of Nutrition and Stress Reduction for Children
Copyright :
Are your patients getting sicker despite you doing your best at giving them evidence-based recommendations for nutrition and exercise? Are you feeling frustrated by your patients continuing to eat highly processed foods and drinking sugar sweetened beverages despite them knowing that these foods are unhealthy? Culinary Medicine provides clinicians the ability to shift from dictating unilateral treatment plans to co-creating collaborative treatment plans with patients. Learn more about this evidence-based modality that engages patients of all ages and provides them with actionable skills to practice a healthy lifestyle.
