(HS Lockhart 065443 2023) Diet Wars & Fasting

Course overview

Join us for a comprehensive exploration of various dietary patterns including the Mediterranean, Paleo, DASH, Keto/Low Carb, and various Vegetarian diets, juxtaposed against the standard American diet. Uncover the clinical implications of each diet and understand their roles in managing chronic diseases through a deep dive into the latest research and real-world applications. Expand your clinical toolkit with an in-depth analysis of different fasting techniques and in what populations and situations they are safe and appropriate. Tactics such as continuous energy restriction (CER), time-restricted eating (TRE), intermittent fasting (IF), and the fasting mimicking diet (FMD) will be covered. This session not only illuminates the nuances of 'food as medicine' but also integrates the principles of nutrigenomics to tailor dietary recommendations based on individual genetic makeup. Emphasizing a personalized 'N of 1' approach to nutrition, we will explore how there is no one-size-fits-all diet. Prepare to enhance your clinical practice by employing these evidence-based nutritional strategies to optimize patient outcomes in various health scenarios from weight management to cardiometabolic health.
