The Dietary Spectrum: When Food Becomes Medicine
The Dietary Spectrum: When Food Becomes Medicine is organized by American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM) and will be held from Jul 01, 2022 - Jul 01, 2025.
Description
In this panel discussion, clinicians will learn from five boots-on-the-ground clinicians who are effectively implementing a spectrum of nutritional interventions in a variety of patient populations. Find out how these clinicians are leveraging behavior change techniques to empower dietary change in the real world. Learn how providers are addressing and overcoming common barriers to implementing tailored nutrition interventions in a variety of patient populations including the social determinants of health, family dynamics, mental and emotional status, cultural implications, reimbursement issues, and more. Each panelist will also share their favorite educational tools and resources that they’ve found to work in their practice.

• Compare the various techniques and strategies used by clinicians to achieve dietary behavior change in individuals and groups of patients
• Summarize how providers are getting reimbursed to deliver these dietary changes in various clinical settings
• Name the various tools and resources that the clinicians are using in their patient populations
