The 3 MI’s: Vantage Points of Nutrition. What Really Matters?

Presented by Carolyn Katzin, MS, CNS, MNT

December 17, 2019

About the Lecture

This lecture introduces three new ideas about nutrition and health from different vantage points. The three MI’s are a pattern of eating that is consistent with overall wellbeing. The first is the M.I.N.D. diet, a Mediterranean diet pattern with an emphasis on brain health. The second is the microbiome, how a healthy and diverse gut microbiome leads to digestive health and mental wellbeing. The third is healthy mitochondria, the powerhouse of the cell that provides vitality for the rest of our bodies. Learn simple and easy to implement ways to enhance health at any stage of the cancer journey.
