Metabolic Physician Listing

Hi.... I was asked by an OH member how to find a Metabolic Physician for nutrition concerns.
I wanted to share the info with you also.  A listing of your state's Metabolic Physicians is available on-line through the American Board of Physician Nutrition Specialists  (ABPNS)

Here's the link that lists Metabolic Physicians!

Hi Ro.  Being from Canada, I've never heard of such a thing. What exactly is a metabolic physician?
Thanks,
L.

Hi, L .. Metabolic Physicians are certified as specialists in Nutrition.  I thought that the info might be helpful since our lifelong nutrition issues are so important.

Here's another link that might be helpful and a brief description from the site.
