About Course

This one-hour recorded webinar reviews several common nutrition myths that frequently arise in discussions about lymphedema and provides evidence-informed explanations to help separate fact from misinformation.

Common statements discussed include:

• “Replace refined table salt with Himalayan pink salt.”
• “Follow an anti-inflammatory diet by eliminating dairy and meat.”
• “Avoid dairy.”
• “Follow a gluten-free diet for lymphedema.”

In this session, Jean reviews what the available evidence suggests and provides practical context to help viewers better understand these claims and make informed decisions about nutrition and lymphedema.

The goal of this session is to help viewers navigate nutrition information more confidently and distinguish evidence-informed guidance from common myths.
