Dietitian to Dietitian Episode 2: Intermittent fasting: healthy habit or fad diet?
About the webinar:
What does science say about intermittent fasting? Is it an effective weight management tool? Does it have applications in other health conditions? And how does it impact those who suffer from disordered eating? Join us and NBC’s Today Show nutrition and health expert Joy Bauer, RDN, to find out! In this accredited webinar, Joy speaks to researcher Dr Sofia Cienfuegos, RDN, and Cleveland Clinic’s Julia Zumpano, RDN, about the pros and cons of intermittent fasting within dietetic practice. Sofia and Julia will also share their thoughts on the best way to work with patients looking to adopt this popular way of eating.
