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... again... Here's a bit more information about  Metabolic Physicians, who 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.

"The American Board of Physician Nutrition Specialists (ABPNS) was established by IPNEC to provide a credential that recognizes physician expertise in clinical nutrition. The ABPNS certificate is the premier comprehensive credential for physicians who wish to identify nutrition as an area of expertise. It is equally accessible to physicians with backgrounds in any of the specialties relevant to clinical nutrition..."

Thank you.  As a baraiatric program director, this will come in useful in my practice, I'm sure.

Hi, Cindy...  Glad to share info!  My Metabolic Physician is part of my surgeon's team so I just lucked-out to have him as my nutritionist.   Thought that it would be best to post the links so other OH members could check their area.... much easier with the links!
