Food as Medicine: Preparing and Recovering from General Surgery

At some point in our lives, most of us, or someone we care about, will face the possibility of general surgery. What many people don’t realize is that the foods we eat in the days and weeks before and after a procedure can have a powerful impact on the body’s ability to heal, reduce complications, and support a smoother recovery.

In this informative and practical session, join Registered Dietitian and certified culinary medicine specialist Allison Harrell and board-certified general surgeon John Jeffries, MD, of AdventHealth, as they guide you through essential nutrition strategies to optimize your surgical outcome. This class will empower you with advice, meal ideas, and timing tips to ensure your body is well-nourished and prepared before, during, and after surgery.

Whether you have a procedure scheduled, are supporting a loved one, or simply want to be prepared for the future, this class will leave you feeling informed, confident, and ready to face surgery like a pro. Program fee $35 in-person, webinar free.
