NW - Taking the Risk Out of Nutrition. A No-Nonsense Approach for Every Practice
This will be a live virtual event offered during NW 2022 Regional - Virtual Event
Nutritional supplementation can be a daunting consideration for many practitioners. Knowing what to recommend, how to make that recommendation, when to recommend and how to avoid the common risk areas and pitfalls of this area and to do so in a manner that is easy to integrate into a practice often steer practitioners away from making nutrition a key component of a patient’s care plan. Understanding what supplements a patient can safely take, which to avoid, and therapeutic vs. supportive dosing will be presented.
