Fats: Thursday June 11, 2026 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm Central Time

This is a hands-on module that is offered as optional programming in New Orleans as part of the annual Health meets Food: The Culinary Medicine Conference.

In this lesson we look at the physiological effects of different types of dietary fats in the body and common dietary sources of these fats. In the kitchen we focus on the purpose of fats in cooking, explore viable replacements and substitutions for culinary fats, and prepare meals utilizing fat replacers. We also cover nutrient and energy density, meal planning and healthy shopping habits, and how you can utilize this information to inspire positive change in your patients.
