The National Lipid Association (NLA) Scientific Sessions 2025 will be held from May 29 to June 1 in Miami. This event is packed with educational opportunities, including talks and workshops on important health topics.
This year, one of the key focuses is on lifestyle and nutrition, especially concerning cardiometabolic health. Three presentations during this session aim to equip clinicians with valuable insights to share with patients.
The first talk, “Optimal Diet for Cardiometabolic Health,” will feature Dr. Ada Cuevas. Her discussion will highlight how specific dietary choices can significantly impact overall health.
Next, Dr. Kevin Hall will address how the increasing consumption of ultra-processed foods contributes to cardiometabolic diseases. A recent study from the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that approximately 60% of the average American diet consists of ultra-processed foods, underscoring the importance of understanding this issue.
Lastly, Dr. Alice H. Lichtenstein will delve into the role of dietary macronutrients in health. Her presentation, titled “Dietary Macronutrient Profile- How Important Is It?” seeks to clarify how balanced intake of carbs, fats, and proteins affects metabolic outcomes.
This session is scheduled for Saturday, May 31, and includes a pre-session assessment, a Q&A panel, and a post-session evaluation. Beth Jackson, MSN will lead the pre-session assessment, setting the stage for an engaging discussion.
As the NLA Scientific Sessions approach, expect more updates from Physician’s Weekly, bringing you the latest research and expert opinions in the field.
