Food and Nutrients in Disease Management (CRC Press, Jan. 2009) Kohlstadt, I. editor

• Presents nutritional information, recommendations, and support for specific conditions and diseases
• Includes research on nutrient-drug interactions, nutrient-gene interactions, and disease-specific interventions
• Consists of 59 disease-specific chapters covering pathophysiology, clinical information, and nutritional intervention
• Emphasizes scientific evidence for whole foods and dietary patterns over isolated, supplemental nutrients

  Nutritional counseling is taking on a larger and larger role in healthcare, especially with the management of chronic conditions and diseases. However, many medical practitioners lack sufficient disease-specific nutrition information and the in-depth understanding that allows them to integrate nutrition into specific treatment plans. Including research on nutrient-drug interactions, nutrient-gene interactions, and disease-specific interactions, this valuable resource incorporates nutritional medicine into clinical practice, emphasizing scientific evidence for whole foods and dietary patterns. Each chapter details how food and nutrition influence pathophysiology, presents relevant clinical information, and offers nutritional interventions and recommendations.

Review

This outstanding and scholarly text is timely and very pertinent to clinicians
involved in the primary and surgical care of patients with nutritional issues of
every type. With the text’s multiple excellent and concise graphs and extensive
lists of current and reputable references the reader can easily refer to it for
very helpful and detailed data in structuring a preventive health and wellness
plan for patients from the most sedentary to the elite athlete. Of particular
interest is the overall appreciation of nutritional, metabolic, growth and
development, and neuroendocrine interrelationships affecting the health and
human performance of all ages. The editor deserves an A plus for this innovative
and very stimulating contribution to 21st century medical knowledge. The
editor’s notes found throughout the book are particularly insightful and well
timed.

Dr. Kohlstadt and her team of gifted scientists
and clinicians have written a textbook that meets the most rigorous demands for
an evidence-based textbook on the nutritional needs of the musculoskeletal
system. …The central importance of providing the body with optimal nutrients is
clearly demonstrated in this meticulously researched text. …Clinicians
practicing all specialties who treat the musculoskeletal system can feel
confident in using the recommended nutritional interventions to enhance
treatment outcomes. …The authors, under Dr. Kohlstadt’s expert guidance, have
performed a tremendous service to all of us who strive to practice the best
medicine possible.

Book Description
A reference for the evidence-based integration of
nutrition into medical treatment, this book discusses clinical recommendations
for optimizing muscle, bone, and fat metabolism based on biologic rationale,
animal studies, epidemiology, clinical trials, ongoing research initiatives, and
food industry statistics. The text explains how new technology can be
incorporated into practice, elaborating on nutraceuticals with effects similar
to medications. It highlights the importance of nutrition in the treatment of
fibromyalgia, sarcopenia, steroid-induced muscle hypertrophy, obesity,
osteoarthritis, gout, post-bariatric surgery, anorexia, osteomalacia, toxicity,
