Find out about the 14th annual 2017 Nutrition & Health Conference in Phoenix, AZ (May 1-3, 2017).

Here are some images from a recent Nutrition & Health Conference. I am delighted that the conference completed its 13th year and is stronger than ever!

A conference description from the website: “Our goal is to provide health practitioners with an understanding of the central role of nutrition in health and healing. To provide a scientific basis for the integration of nutrition and medicine in order to practice preventive and therapeutic nutritional medicine.”

Another great turnout this year; more than 700 healthcare professionals attended.
With Jo Robinson, author of "Eating on the Wild Side." We discussed how to choose and prepare food for maximum benefit. Example: tearing lettuce the day before you eat it quadruples antioxidant content.
Michael Stebner, head chef of True Food Kitchen, and I talk about healthy eating at our restaurants, and we demonstrate how to prepare Spaghetti Squash Casserole.
Speaking at the conference is always a joy. I am delighted to see doctors, nurses and other health care professionals take health and nutrition seriously!
I had the opportunity to sit in on a traditional Japanese tea ceremony with Dr. Kaoru Hattori and The Chado Urasenke Tankokai Seattle Association. The ceremony illustrated the sacred practice, medical applications, and mindfulness of the tradition.
Tuscan Kale Salad, one of the many delicious treats available at this year's conference.
One of my favorite quinoa dishes is Quinoa Tabbouleh. Beets, garlic, pomegranate, and almonds top off this delicious quinoa dish.
For dinner one evening, we were served this delicious dish of wild-caught salmon on a bed of quinoa with green beans.
