Nutrition As Medicine is an annual integrative nutrition event, designed for the community as well as healthcare providers. The focus of the event is providing education around how a whole-food, plant-based diet can improve overall health, chronic diseases, and quality of life.
Sentara recognizes many widespread chronic diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, and obesity, can often be linked to our diets. A whole food, plant-based lifestyle can help manage and even reverse a number of those diseases.
During the event, nationally-renowned nutrition experts share evidence-based research on how a plant-based diet can impact chronic diseases - as well as practical ways to introduce more plant-based meals to your diet.
