Eating Well to Live Well with WM with Laura Pole

Educate and Empower Monthly Wellness Webinar Series: May 2024
Join Chef and Integrative Oncology Nurse Navigator Laura Pole to learn how nourishment can support your health and help manage some common symptoms of WM, such as fatigue. Go beyond basic nutrition by exploring the principles of health-supportive food selection that emphasize nourishment on a holistic level. We’ll tackle some of the practical aspects of translating a dietary prescription to a plate of delicious healthy food, and Chef Laura will also share a quick and easy recipe! Create a shift in your perspective from “watchful waiting” to “active surveillance;” where self-care practices such as eating well can contribute meaningfully to living well with a chronic illness.

As a WM patient, I found your video very informative. I am now going to review my diet, which is pretty good, thanks to my very supportive wife.
