Metabolic Crossroads: Where Nutrition Meets Chronic Disease

Description

This webinar examines the intersection of nutrition, chronic illness, and functional capacity through an advanced practice perspective. It will explore how metabolic changes associated with chronic illness impact nutritional needs and subsequent nutrition interventions. This session will provide practical, evidence-based strategies that healthcare providers can use to support patient-centered chronic disease management.

Instructors

• Evaluate how specific pathological states, including malignancy and surgical trauma, alter metabolic demands and muscle physiology in older adults
• Prioritize supportive nutrition interventions for chronic illnesses based on the client’s specific metabolic and functional requirements
• Formulate practical, evidence-based nutritional recommendations designed to optimize long-term health outcomes in the geriatric population
