Lymphedema is more prevalent than HIV, Parkinson’s, ALS, MS and Alzheimer’s combined. It should be top of mind to anyone in healthcare, especially those who work in oncology, rehab, wound care and bariatrics. Lymphedema responds well to nutrition management, but if you’re like most dietitians, you’ve never dealt with it before and have no idea where to start.
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-based nutrition for lymphedema and want to share best practices to expand your clinical reach.
Nutrition is one of the best, but most overlooked, options for prevention and management of lymphedema. Even if you work with patients who have suffered for years, 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separate fact from fiction as we cover the most pivotal concepts for understanding the lymphatic system and debunk outdated methods that are holding your clients back:
Lymphedema is common, but it’s often misdiagnosed, underserved, misunderstood, and left out of university courses and internships. This changes now. This training will help you to better understand lymphedema, reduce inflammation and improve the gut/lymphatic connection. Redefine the standard of care for those facing lymphedema and empower them to take back control.
