Do you wonder about the effectiveness of different macronutrient diets on the body and particularly for weight loss? Despite the many options we have, we still don’t have clear guidance about them (low carb vs low fat vs Mediterranean) and not one diet has been found to be better than others for weight loss.
Please join us for an engaging conversation with Dr. Janice Hwang, Endocrinologist and Assistant Professor in the Division of Endocrinology at the Yale School of Medicine, to learn about the impact of macronutrients on the brain as well as her research.
