This interactive seminar with Dr. Joel Fuhrman provides both education and emotional skills that individuals can apply towards implementing a healthful diet for the rest of their lives and trains practitioners to motivate and empower their patients to follow this information and maintain progress with their conditions.
Food is truly the most effective medicine. —Dr. Joel Fuhrman

- How the application of the latest and most critical nutritional science can prevent disease
- How to resolve food addiction and emotional eating
- The workings of the therapeutic aspects of lifestyle medicine and their role in reversing autoimmune disorders, cancers, diabetes, heart disease, gastrointestinal disorders and more
