From Experience to Discovery: How Nutrition, Research, and Patient Data Are Powering the Next Breakthroughs

Event Description
Can what you eat, and the supplements you take, really help change the course of MGUS or Smoldering Multiple Myeloma? What if the answers to which treatments will work best for your myeloma are hidden in your bone marrow biopsy slide? Michelle, a participant in the Nutrivention 2 study, will share her personal journey and why she chose to join this innovative research exploring whether diet and supplements can influence progression to active myeloma. We’ll also hear from Todd Foster, who will highlight other cutting-edge studies and patient surveys underway with leading investigators and walk through Cure Hub, HealthTree’s platform that helps patients find studies, track their health data, and play a direct role in accelerating myeloma research.
