Should I Drink Almond Milk? Or Soy Milk? Or Regular Milk?

Coconut Oil Part 2! Follow-up and more discussion.

February 6, 2015 By Julie Lanford MPH, RD, CSO, LDN

Don't forget about our seminar this Thursday evening at Cancer Services' office in Winston-Salem. Cancer Nutrition Myths and Truths: Thursday 1/29 at 5:30pm. We will be demonstrating and tasting 3 recipes and giving you some of the ingredients for you to take home and try yourself. We'd … [Read more...]

October 7, 2013 By Julie Lanford MPH, RD, CSO, LDN

I took a slight break from writing for the blog, as I am the event director and emcee for our agency's breast cancer survivor conference, The Pink Ribbon Talks, each year. The 12th annual event was this past Saturday and I was honored to be in the presence of such amazing people! And what's a great event without a crazy picture?!? Here I am with my amazing co-workers. We each had a unique role in making the event a success.  It's amazing to see what happens when … [Read more...]
