Nutrition Update: Where to Look for Help!
With our resources expanding, establishing a reference document with all of the topics, blogs, questions and answers covered over the last few months is to make sure that when you have a question you can not only access what we discussed on these blogs, but have a starting point to research more! Below are all of the blogs (and links!) with a short description with key words to make your search a little faster and they are categorized and bunched in similar topics. We plan to produce a reference like document (like this one!) periodically so that we can best support and foster learning and growth with nutrition education and related topics discussed weekly at TLAG.
So, what are you waiting for? Review away! (And as always, consult with a medical professional before implementing any changes to your routine or diet).
