Surgical Nutrition Optimization

“You are what you eat” isn’t just a fun saying, it’s true in the most literal sense. The study of nutrition is defined as “the process of providing or obtaining the food necessary for health and growth” and the idea of eating for health and growth is never more relevant than before and after a surgery.



Surgery is an incredible example of how modern medicine can be used to improve our overall health and quality of life, but we must remember that undergoing a surgical procedure is stressful on the body.



In this comprehensive nutritional resource created just for you, the evo patient, we will take a brief overview of the study of nutrition, what it means to “eat to heal”, and learn about some of specific foods and supplements that can optimize your journey to healing.
