Nutritional counseling is taking on a larger and larger role in healthcare, especially with the management of chronic conditions and diseases. However, many medical practitioners lack sufficient disease-specific nutrition information and the in-depth understanding that allows them to integrate nutrition into specific treatment plans. Including research on nutrient-drug interactions, nutrient-gene interactions, and disease-specific interactions, this valuable resource incorporates nutritional medicine into clinical practice, emphasizing scientific evidence for whole foods and dietary patterns. Each chapter details how food and nutrition influence pathophysiology, presents relevant clinical information, and offers nutritional interventions and recommendations.
