Innovations in Culinary Medicine Webinars
Culinary medicine is an evidence-based field that brings together medical, nutrition, and culinary knowledge to assist patients in maintaining health, preventing, and treating disease by choosing high-quality, healthy foods in conjunction with appropriate medical care. By utilizing practical approaches to assist patients in unlocking the benefits of food as medicine, providers can reinforce dietary management as the treatment for celiac disease.
