It was a beautiful day in Rome. I brought my lecture notes, and I sat outside enjoying the warmth of the sun and the aroma of my pizza—gluten free and anchovy topping. It is not just what we eat but how we eat. Perfetto

Honored to be invited back to lecture at AUR Rome, Italy—Graduate Nutrition Program. Enjoying an espresso at place I frequent on every trip makes Rome feel a bit more like home. It is also a very nice way to take a break from work.

It was an honor to be invited back to lecture at AUR. The Graduate Nutrition and Food Studies students exceeded my expectations. They had thought provoking comments and were incredibly engaging. To work with Professor Mefleh was a privilege.

Comparing markets in Italy—indoor market in Rome, outdoor market in Rome, outdoor market in Prato—they are all #1. The markets are filled with warm bread, luscious veggies, juicy sweet fruits. I cannot wait to make dinner and dessert.

Taking a break from work and walked to the park by the University. Breathing fresh air and connecting with nature—even in the middle of a city—should be part of a nutrition plan.

We learn in different ways. We nourish our bodies in different ways. Discussing the latest nutrition science—fodmaps, IBS, IBD, inflammation, malnutrition and obesity, mental health—with colleagues over food and wine is an extraordinary way to gain a deeper understanding of nutrition science. Looking forward to my lecture at AUR.

GASTRODIET2023 Prato, Italy was amazing—insightful lectures and amazing people from around the world. I’m settled into my apartment in Rome and dinner is from one of my favorite local spots. It’s a big plus that Rome is gluten free friendly. Prep for my lecture begins.
