July's Webinar: Let Food Be Thy Medicine: Practical Ways to Up Your Nutrition Game

July 24, 12-1 PM

Participate live here.  

Hippocrates had it right all those years ago: "Let food be thy medicine and let medicine be thy food.”  R. Leah Pryor, Executive Chef of the UVM Medical Center, and Kim Dittus, MD, PhD Medical Oncologist at the UVM Cancer Center team up to talk about improving your diet and/or the diet of your patients, with an emphasis on veggies and other plant foods. Nutrition is an excellent way for cancer survivors and those in treatment to take action to contribute to better health. It is also an important factor in cancer prevention and survivorship. Participants will be able to submit questions and will leave with a list of recipes, meal planning guidance and important information about nutrition as a key to better health.

Presenters

• Kim Dittus, MD, PhD, UVM Assistant Professor of Medicine and Medical Oncologist at the UVM Cancer Center
