Nutrition and Wellness for Myeloma
event Feb 16, 2023 / 01:00PM - 02:00PM EST

Event Description

Francesca Castro, MS, RD, CDN joins the Nutrition and Wellness Chapter to provide some guidance on what cancer nutritional research we can trust. There is so much information on the internet about what foods are good, what to avoid, what diets work best, and how to live as healthy as possible. In all the noise, it can be hard to know what to pay attention to and what is the most accurate. This session will help us find stillness in the noise and know how best to take care of our nutrition as we go through our myeloma journeys.
