While the gastrointestinal tract ingests, digests, and absorbs
nutrients, the liver transforms nutrients, synthesizes plasma
proteins, and detoxifies bacteria and toxins absorbed from the gut.
It is therefore not surprising that gastrointestinal and hepatic
diseases have a major impact on the nutritional state of the
individual. Integrating nutrition and the gastrointestinal system,
the Gastrointestinal and Liver Disease Nutrition Desk Reference
brings together experts in the field of nutrition,
gastroenterology, and hepatology to offer dietary, nutritional, and
natural therapies for gastrointestinal and hepatic ailments in
order to improve overall health. Providing a review of the
digestive tract, liver, and core concepts, this important reference
presents the nutritional consequences and considerations of
digestive disorders. Contributors examine the role of nutrition in
gastrointestinal and liver disease, including alcoholic and
nonalcoholic liver disease, viral hepatitis, cirrhosis,
malabsorption, colorectal disease, transplantation, pancreatitis,
and inflammatory bowel disease. Of special interest to the
practitioner are chapters on food allergy and intolerance, the
effects of medicinal plants, and the role of fiber in the
gastrointestinal tract. The reference also addresses the challenges
of managing nutritional issues for hospitalized patients and covers
eating disorders and ethical issues. Other key topics include:
Obesity Clinical applications of probiotics The impact of
micronutrient deficiencies Genomic applications for
gastrointestinal care Drug-drug and drug-nutrient interactions
Guidelines for performing a nutrition assessment This comprehensive
reference offers a toolbox of key concepts, charts, tables,
algorithms, and practical therapeutic strategies for practitioners
involved in gastrointestinal and hepatic nutrition care. Dr. Mullin
maintains a website discussing the integration of both Eastern and
Western (conventional) medicines to help patients overcome their
digestive illnesses.

Integrative Weight Management: A Guide for Clinicians intends to
educate physicians and nutritionists about the wide ranges of
approaches to weight control from non-traditional sources. The
options for weight management in conventional practices are limited
to a small number of medications, a confusing array of dietary
approaches and surgical procedures with their inherent risks and
complications. Unfortunately medical practitioners are not exposed
to nutrition and weight control principles during training and thus
are reluctant to manage their patients weight control issues. This
volume is structured into 4 sections: Introduction to Weight
Management Disorders; Morbidity and Mortality of Obesity; Therapy
of Obesity; and Integrative Medicine and Obesity. Integrative
Weight Management: A Guide for Clinicians represents a powerful
collaboration of dozens of leading experts in the fields of
nutrition, weight management and integrative medicine who have
managed countless numbers of patients and summarized the research
from thousands of articles to create an up-to- date state of the
art guide for healthcare practitioners, allied health professionals
and public health authorities who manage those who are
overweight/obese along with the associated metabolic consequences.
