Food and nutrients are the original medicine and the shoulders on
which modern medicine stands. But in recent decades, food and
medicine have taken divergent paths and the natural healing
properties of food have been diminished in the wake of modern
technical progress. With contributions from highly regarded experts
who work on the frontlines of disease management, the bestselling
first edition of Advancing Medicine with Food and Nutrients, Food
and Nutrients in Disease Management effectively brought food back
into the clinical arena, helping physicians put food and nutrients
back on the prescription pad. Board-certified in General Preventive
Medicine, Ingrid Kohlstadt, MD, MPH has been elected a Fellow of
the American College of Nutrition and a Fellow of the American
College of Preventive Medicine. Guided by Dr. Kohlstadt, this
authoritative reference equips clinicians with the information they
need to fully utilize nutritional medicine in their practice. New
