Renowned Nutritionist Leslie Beck to Lead the Program
Leslie Beck, RD, Medcan's Director of Nutrition will launch an Omega Score Program that utilizes the Omega Spot™Dry Blood Spot kit and the Omega Score™ test, the first of its kind available in the world. Medcan is the ONLY medical clinic in Canada to have a comprehensive omega-3 fatty acid education and treatment program. Medcan's new Omega Score Program will enable Canadians to know and manage - through targeted nutrition advice - their omega-3 fatty acid blood level, which can have a direct impact on heart disease risk. Beck will be joined by Dr. Bruce J. Holub, Professor Emeritus from the University of Guelph, who will discuss the relationship between blood, omega-3 fatty acid levels and the risk of coronary heart disease and heart attack.
Canada's leading nutritionist and best selling author, Leslie Beck, RD will also be celebrating the release of her new book, "Heart Healthy Foods for Life: Preventing Heart Disease Through Diet and Nutrition" (Penguin Canada 2009).
