Session Summary DESCRIPTION: The Integrative and Functional lens allows nutrition practitioners to assess and intervene using personalized lifestyle therapies (including diet) to optimize wellness and address the high risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the Asian-Indian population. This webinar presents the current science and evidence for the particular pathophysiology of CVD in the Asian-Indian population. The unique genotype and phenotype of Asian-Indian peoples implicate specific nutrition therapies that go beyond the USA cardiovascular standard of care to improve outcomes as well as prevention. Nutritionists can play a major role in treatment and prevention with these science and evidence-based guidelines. Join Diana Noland in the discussion of the importance of advanced dietetic specialists skills in the role of the emerging science and relationship between nutrition, lifestyle and genome.

In this webinar, we will cover:

• The science and evidence-base for clinical application of specialized nutritional therapy for Asian-Indian cardiovascular disease ·


• Basics for an assessment of an individual’s cardiovascular health and risk factors 


• Basic considerations for MNT for Asian-Indian cardiovascular dietary and dietary supplement interventions
