Food is not only medicine, but is the first line of defense in healing, before medicines and supplements. Offering nutrition advice and diet handouts alone to patients does not result in lifestyle change. Americans want to eat more home cooked meals but need easy meal prep. Patients need real and tangible strategies, and manageable steps to facilitate lasting behavioral change. Practical culinary, meal planning, and shopping techniques will be provided to make healthy cooking at home fast, budget friendly, and delicious. This session will review tips and tricks for practitioners to teach meal planning to patients.

Addressing Implicit Bias and Microaggressions in Integrative Healthcare
Presented by:
Aly Cohen, MD, FACR
Compared to third world countries, the United States has some of the cleanest drinking water in the world. Despite this, U.S. drinking water has become increasingly contaminated with a variety of chemicals known to be harmful to human health. From industrial run-off, air pollution, natural disasters, broken infrastructure, outdated regulation, influx of modern-day chemicals, and lack of public awareness, the toxic contaminants found in U.S. drinking water are now a growing source of both acute and chronic illness, affecting millions of unsuspecting residents across the U.S.
This talk will take a brief look at the history and current laws and regulation surrounding drinking water, the monitoring and oversight of municipal water, issues with private wells vs. municipal water, water testing, common contaminants and their risks to human health, climate change challenges, filtration options, safe transport of drinking water, and what can be done to create safer drinking water for ourselves, our families, and our patients.
This presentation was recorded at the 2022 Integrative Healthcare Symposium Annual Conference.
