Mandatory Nutrition Requirements Needed for Doctors in California

Today, I want to take a brief moment to share another resource that has been sent to me to share with the group (from Ephie).

Please take some time today to explore
http://nutritionfacts.org/

On this site you can watch videos on nutrition and ask questions to doctors regarding aspects of nutrition.

Importantly, right now there are some states (specifically California) pushing the bill to have mandatory nutrition education requirements for doctors. Be aware that your doctor may or may not be able to act as your nutritionist. Many people see a nutritionist for the help on healthy eating that a doctor may or may not be able to provide. These services are wonderful and can be expensive, so be sure to use the resources, support and friends around you if you cannot use the nutritionist option.

If you are interested in the seeing the nutrition requirements being pushed for California doctors then please take a look at the following link. Feel free to post any response that you might like to share with the blog.
