A Luncheon About Lunch with Susan Sandler, Nutritionist

Designed for a working audience that is looking to the future, this nutrition workshop about the midday meal will describe the mechanisms of appetite and fullness and the new science of eating according to your genes—Nutrigenomics, as well as discuss how to harness serotonin for bridge building over lunch. Elaborated will be how menu choices of fresh produce interface with preventing the painful and expensive diseases of aging: diabetes; high blood pressure; and heart disease.

Susan Sandler, an annual speaker at the club since 2013, is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist. Currently, she is the originator of the after-school program, Kids Cooking Microwave Breakfast. She also works for Harvest Home Farmer's Market in promoting fresh fruit and vegetable consumption to the public. In addition, she has earned a Certificate of Adult Weight Management from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, the credentialing organization for dietitians.

For more than 20 years, Ms. Sandler specialized in geriatric nutrition, with a focus both here and in Europe on Huntington's Disease (the inherited neurological condition from which Woody Guthrie died). She has also been cited in Who's Who in America (2003, 2004, and 2005), as well as in Who's Who of American Women and …in American Dietetics. She attended Cornell's College of Human Ecology, earned a Master's degree in clinical nutrition from NYU, and completed an internship at The Mount Sinai Medical Center.
