Event Details

Drinking calories means we quickly take the calories and nutrients from our gut to our bloodstream. Join Dr. Harrison as she discusses the role of smoothies, sports drinks, and everything that comes in them including artificial sweeteners.

Dr. Raquel Harrison (MD, FACEP, dipABLM) is dual board certified in emergency medicine and lifestyle medicine.  With over 12 years of experience working in large urban emergency departments, she has been heavily impacted by how often lifestyle choices result in visits to the hospital. Leveraging years working in education as an assistant professor and assistant residency director at Yale School of Medicine, she now directs her passion for teaching towards educating others about lifestyle medicine and its critical role in preventing and reversing diseases that commonly lead to emergency visits and hospitalization.
