ABOUT THIS PROGRAM

Can what we eat affect cancer development and progression? Join us as we learn from Dr. Urvi Shah, a myeloma specialist from Memorial Sloan Cancer Center with a research focus in dietary intervention. Dr. Shah will speak about how her research has shown that structuring your diet around a plant-based, high-fiber, nutrient-dense diet, can lead to better cancer outcomes. You will also hear from Monique Marshall, registered dietitian from Feeding Westchester, who will talk about how to choose food at the grocery store and interpret food labels. Finally, Monique will also lead a cooking demonstration to teach us a simple recipe we can all cook at home.

You will also learn about resources and information from The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

We encourage you to invite your caregiver, family members, or friends to attend!
 

We hope you can join us for this free education event!
