This webinar features some of the latest nutrition science about the benefits of dietary supplementation and why certain polysaccharides are crucial for health. Dr. Lewis discusses the results of his extensive line of research on how polysaccharides modulate the immune system and other organ systems in the context of patients with Alzheimer’s, HIV, MS, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and healthy adults. Having a proper understanding of the evidence base of dietary supplementation and its relationships to chronic disease is important for all allied health clinicians and wellness industry professionals, especially considering all of the marketing hype around diet, food, and dietary supplements. Dr. Lewis’s lecture provides attendees an evidence-based review of dietary supplement science that emphasizes some recent important findings that have significant impacts on health and quality of life.
