What does the word "geriatric" mean to you?
By the MFN Team

"What does the word geriatric mean to you? Oftentimes, it comes with a negative connotation. It’s time to change the perception of this word in the fitness industry.

In the medical fitness space, we seek to align with doctors and health professionals. Geriatric medicine physicians (Geriatricians) work to promote health by preventing and treating diseases and disabilities. To a great degree, this includes improving functional abilities and independence in their activities of daily living. With the rapid growth of the older population in the US, the demand for geriatric medicine is higher than ever."

The Naturopathic Chef
This month's Q&A with "The Medicine Chef" Tina Martini:

Q: I recently have been diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome and with the holidays coming up, I'm a little nervous. Do you have a recipe that I could bring to gatherings that would serve as my entree and a delicious side dish to my hosts menus?  

A: You're going to be the hit of the party season! This GF savory bread pudding has the wow factor, and you can enjoy something decadent without discomfort. I've included the dairy-free option, too.
