FOOD MATRIX: MORE THAN THE SUM OF NUTRIENTS

May 19, 2020 @ 12 pm PT

Speaker: Chris Cifelli, PhD

It is accepted that we eat foods, not nutrients; however, until recently the relationship between diet and health has focused on individual nutrients.Today, the focus is shifting towards the impact of whole foods. The food matrix is an emerging concept that looks at how various nutrients and bioactive factors present in individual whole foods work in synergy and how the physical structure of the matrix may impact absorption and digestion.

Welcome to the 2026-2027 membership year! As we look ahead, my focus is on strengthening the organizational structure of our Academy, supporting modernization and innovation within the field of dietetics, and fostering a strong, connected community of nutrition professionals across Washington.

This year, we hope to create more opportunities for collaboration, professional engagement, and meaningful connections at both the state and district levels. As our profession continues to evolve locally and nationally, we remain committed to supporting our members through education, advocacy, and community.
