The 2010 Nutrition and Health Conference is coming up May 10 – 12 in Atlanta. This annual conference, presented by Andrew Weil and the University of Arizona’s Center for Integrative Medicine, is one of the best I’ve ever attended. The presentations and speakers are terrific and the general approach is rigorous and evidence-based.
If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you may remember that I wrote a series of posts from the conference two years ago. I’ll be blogging from the conference again this May. In particular I’m looking forward to hearing Arthur Agatston, MD (Author, The South Beach Diet) and David Kessler, MD (former Commissioner, U.S. Food & Drug Administration) as well as sessions on environmental contaminants in the food supply, nutrition for sports performance, and latest research in cancer, obesity, food allergies, and more.
For those of you in the nutrition or health professions, consider joining me in Atlanta for this great conference. For non-professionals in the Atlanta area, there will be a Public Forum on May 11th featuring Weil, Kessler, and Sanjay Gupta of CNN.
If you’re going, drop me an email at monica@nutritiondata.com and we’ll coordinate a meet-up!
