Is Your Diet Promoting or Preventing Inflammation? Presented by Karen Davis, RDH, BSDH

Overview

Course Description: Paleo, Keto, Gluten-Free, Lectin-Free, Mediterranean……which are the best diets for optimal health? What foods promote inflammation, and what foods dampen it? The science and the claims are confusing. This course will examine two components of the Western diet: Fructose & lectins. Many of the chronic inflammatory conditions patients present may be exacerbated or improved with dietary choices. Dental professionals can and should proactively engage in dietary recommendations. Spoiler alert! You won’t indulge in fructose consumption quite the same after this attending this course!

Learning Objectives:

• Identify which foods are lectins and their influence on health and disease

• Pinpoint hidden sources of fructose, their link to inflammatory conditions and alternative fructose-free options

• Understand leaky gut and the steps dental professionals can take to be a health advocate for these patients
