Copper Conscious Eating Webinar

What does copper conscious eating mean for a person with Wilson disease? When diagnosed with the genetic liver disorder, most patients are surprised to learn that copper is in most foods and they have a broken copper regulator. Some people with WD are advised to go on a low copper diet, while others are told to avoid the handful of very high copper foods. What does that mean and how to you put it into practice? Registered dietitian nutritionists (RDN) are the ideal health professional to help WD patients navigate these questions.
In this webinar, Carolyn O'Neil, MS, RDN, award winning food journalist, interviews Ann Marie Rivard, MPH, RDN, CDN from the WDA Center of Excellence at Yale University Medical Center. WD patients, Laura Kalt and Amanda Elsts, share their vastly different dietary experiences.
Whether you were diagnosed decades ago or recently and have questions about copper content in the foods you eat, this webinar should not be missed! It's also helpful to other RDN's and health professionals who work with Wilson disease patients.
