Jointly Sponsored by the Gaples Institute and the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.

The conference sold out 3 months early and attracted physicians and other health professionals from 9 states—New York to New Mexico—to learn about the science of nutrition, and to watch the science come alive on their plates with food demos, tastings, and hands-on cooking. 52 key scientific references reviewed and 13 recipes cooked.

The smiles say it all. Delicious, high-potency medicine was served!
