Increasing Patient Dietary Compliance (CME Program)

Helping patients to eat healthier
Dietary habits have a great impact on a person's health.  According to the Surgeon General, 6 of the 10 leading causes of death are linked directly to diet. That is why so many patients look to their doctors for help. Unfortunately, many doctors are not in a position to do so. According to NIH data, 85% of physicians state they are not effective in helping patients make healthy dietary changes.

This program looks at why patients are unable to stick to balanced eating patterns. It provides the most current science and tools for health professionals to better help patients institute and maintain a healthy diet. Joe examines fad diets, from "no fat" to "no carbohydrates." He provides a critical look at dietary counseling techniques and shows how the current standard-of-care may be setting patients up for failure.

The program will examine the role of food cravings, physiologically identified as a fat tooth, on dietary habits. Joe also examines the impact of chronic stress on dietary habits. Attendees will gain the information, insight and tools needed to help their patients make healthy dietary changes.
