This is an informative course that reinforces through evidence-based medicine/science and anecdotal experiences what Hippocrates said thousands of years ago, “Letting food be your medicine and medicine be your food.” I look forward to further review of the data and training provided and plan to share it with and educate my family, staff, and patients. I am inspired by new and creative ways to enhance our weight management programs at Syracuse VA Medical Center to improve the health and promote wellness in our veteran population! This program has helped me to “practice what I preach.”
