Greetings from James S. Gordon, MD, Founder & Director
The world is waking to the importance of self-care and to the model the Center has been offering health professionals for almost 20 years.
Our mind-body medicine and nutrition programs are regularly selling out. The U.S. Military is now exploring our model and our colleagues here in the U.S. and overseas are reaching and changing the lives of more and more people. Health professionals are-forgive the pun—particularly hungry for information about nutrition, and for ways to make low-cost, healthy food available to their patients and clients. In this newsletter we offer some of our favorite resources—about eating in a healthy, economical way, favorite faculty books and websites, Mark Hyman’s fine, far-ranging talk from last year’s Food As Medicine training, and some tasty new recipes to please you and your family. And we hope you’ll join us at one of our two upcoming Food As Medicine trainings in 2009.
Bon appétit! |

 Eating Healthy Economically
This topic was the subject of the Center’s community nutrition workshop in Baltimore Spring 2008, and will be the focus of one of Chef Rebecca Katz’s food demos for Food As Medicine 2009—and it’s become more important than ever. To access the tools we created for our workshop, including a Weekly Menu Planner and a one-page flyer with practical suggestions called ‘One Step at a Time’, click here. We all can make healthy choices. |

 Proud to be Partners
The Center is proud to announce our new special network relationship with Nutrition in Complementary Care (NCC), a dietetic practice group (DPG) of the American Dietetic Association (ADA). We will be sharing expertise and working together in a variety of ways with this like-minded DPG. For example, the Center recently provided technical assistance for a Healthy Gut Workshop NCC Chair-Elect Kathie Swift, MS, RD, gave together with Gerard Mullin, MD and Colleen Fogarty Draper, MS, RD, Food As Medicine faculty & advisory board members , respectively. For more information about NCC, please visit their website at www.complementarynutrition.org. |
