All dentists, join us at the DCDS Executive Office as Meridan Zerner, a Cooper Clinic Registered Dietician Nutritionist, shares her expertise in preventive and cardiovascular health and nutrition through the life cycle in this ADA sponsored workshop, entitled: Fueling the Mind & Body: Recipe for Longevity.

Discover the profound connection between what you eat, how long you live, and the house of your brain. Make small changes that come together to enhance the quantity and quality of your life using the latest research in nutrition science, the gut-brain, immune connection and other tools connected to greater longevity. Whether you’re seeking to improve daily cognitive performance or invest in long-term health, this session provides the knowledge and tools to thrive at every age, one bite at a time.

Attendees will learn:

  • The critical and synergistic elements of wellbeing that contribute to brain and overall health. The mind and the body are an integrated circuit!
  • The foods, herb and spices that contribute antioxidants, healthy, fat, and micro nutrients for brain health.
  • How inflammation and oxidative stress accelerate aging, and cognitive decline – and how nutrition can counteract these effects.
  • The science behind intermittent fasting…is it impactful and is it right for everyone?
  • Practical dietary strategies for optimizing energy, mental clarity, and focus – discover the “best” diet of 2025.
