Beyond Translation: Culturally Tailored, Personalized Nutrition Strategies for Hispanic Patients with Obesity and Chronic Disease

Your Price

This session focuses on practical, culturally sensitive strategies for delivering Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) to Hispanic and Mexican-American patients with obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular comorbidities.

Rather than simply translating handouts into Spanish, attendees will learn how to integrate traditional foods (e.g., nopales, frijoles, tortillas, aguas caseras), culturally familiar meal patterns, and respectful counseling approaches. Real patient cases will illustrate challenges such as food insecurity, misinformation, and navigating bicultural diets while achieving evidence-based nutrition goals.

Participants will leave equipped to improve adherence, build trust, and create realistic, personalized nutrition plans for diverse Hispanic patients.
