Target Audience
Do you feel lost in translation when working with Spanish speaking patients? Imagine trying to explain a diagnosis with a language barrier as tall as a language barrier wall! It can be so difficult to break down complex medical jargon into understandable Spanish…almost like deciphering a secret code. But our Spanish speaking patients need education and support for their common disease states.
Navigating the cultural intricacies of healthcare beliefs and practices can be as tricky as a diplomatic negotiation….and trying to provide in-depth explanations in limited appointment time can be like speed-dating with diseases.
Patients' stress levels can skyrocket when they can't grasp vital health information…and as a provider you want to decrease anxiety so you patient can understand how to care for themselves.
After this course, you will feel comfortable to initiate patient education with your Spanish speaking patients…and communicate with confidence.
Bonus! Included are several translated handouts…easy to copy and provide to your patients.

More common than HIV, Parkinson’s, ALS, MS and Alzheimer’s combined, lymphedema should be top of mind to anyone in healthcare, especially those who work with cancer treatment and cancer survivors.

If you want to be sure you’re doing everything you can for your patient population, I invite you to a one-of-a-kind lymphedema nutrition program developed specifically with you in mind.
Dietitian. Author. Cancer survivor. I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma at age 27, an experience that sparked my 20+ year career in understanding the interplay between nutrition and cancer. I’ve made it my mission to become an expert in evidence-informed nutrition for lymphedema and want to share best practices with you.
Nutrition is one of the best, but most overlooked, options for lymphedema prevention and management. Screening for lymphedema and taking appropriate action does not have to be an intimidating or difficult task. Even after YEARS of suffering from lymphedema, you can see a measurable difference in outcomes with these powerful strategies! We’ll separate fact from fiction as we cover the most pivotal concepts and debunk outdated methods that are holding your patients back:
Lymphedema isn’t rare, but it’s often mislabeled, underserved, misunderstood, and left out of university courses and practicums. This changes now. This training will help you to reduce flare ups and inflammation while improving the gut/lymphatic connection. Redefine the standard of care for those facing lymphedema and empower them to take back control.
