"The aim of this book is to assist primary care clinicians in incorporating nutrition into routine patient care. The book covers nutrition assessment and therapy for the most common medical conditions seen in the primary care setting. With the epidemic of obesity and its associated medical consequences, including heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and cancer, clinicians need to be able to assess and counsel patients about their diet and lifestyle on a daily basis."

According to Dr. Deen, The Complete Guide to Nutrition in Primary Care provides the necessary tools to meet the ever-growing training needs that primary care clinicians require in nutrition.
