What is Nutritional Medicine?
Nutritional medicine is the interactions of nutritional factors within human biochemistry, physiology and anatomy and the clinical application of knowledge of these interactions can be used in the modulation of structure and function for the prevention and treatment of disease as well as the betterment of health.
Evidence based practice is the foundation in clinical practice with therapeutic knowledge based on published scientific information. This nutrition scientific knowledge is derived from many science disciplines including physics, chemistry, anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pathology, pharmacology, toxicology, genetics, anthropology, palaeontology, microbiology, molecular biology, environmental science, nutrition, food science, psychology and sociology. Cross referencing nutrition across many different scientific fields allows for integrative knowledge and an extension to many current understandings in dietary concepts.

Recipe: Chocolate Gelatin Slice
This is a fantastic easy treat or dessert to make.
I usually use 90% or 95% Lindt dark chocolate to reduce the total amount of sugar. However, if you are just starting out in trying to reduce the total amount of dietary sugars you are having, then try dark chocolate 70% which is usually less bitter and then working your way up to 90% or 95%.
