About the webinar:
Can nuts be successfully incorporated into a healthy diet while supporting weight management?

Alison will dive into the surprising benefits of enjoying nuts for weight management, debunking concerns about their energy density, and provide an update on the ever-expanding list of health benefits of nut consumption.
