SUMMARY:CSNM Webinar: Functional Foods: A Practical Framework for Every Setting
DESCRIPTION:Date: September 17\, 2026 – 1:00 PM ET / 10:00 AM PT\nCE Point:  Competency 4.0 \nTitle:\n\nFunctional Foods: A Practical Framework for Every Setting \nDescription:\nEvery ingredient on your menu is already functional — it feeds people. The question this session asks is whether it’s functional in the deeper sense too: actively supporting immunity\, cognition\, and wellness\, not just calories on a plate.Some of the most powerful functional ingredients sound like supplement-aisle science. In practice\, they’re often just dinner. This session gives CSNM members a clear\, evidence-informed way to spot the difference between what’s simply good cooking and what deserves a second opinion — across every setting\, from long-term care and hospitals to schools\, community health\, and the supplier side. \nThis isn’t about adding more to your plate. It’s about recognizing the potential already on it. \nAre you ready to see your menu differently? \n\n\nPresenters: \n\n\n\nNaz Serter\, NM\n\nNaz Serter\, MSc (Phytotherapy)\, NM\, is the founder of Naz Serter Consulting\, supporting organizations in advancing wellness through practical\, evidence-informed nutrition strategies — helping teams understand how small dietary changes can create meaningful health impact within real-world operations.Naz also works closely with the nutraceutical industry\, bringing R&D formulation insight and market knowledge to business development projects that bridge scientific research with commercially viable\, functional products. \nWith almost two decades of experience across the nutrition\, nutraceutical\, and supplement sectors\, Naz brings a unique perspective that integrates food-first nutrition with functional ingredient science. Her work focuses on the responsible application of phytonutrient-rich foods\, culinary mushrooms\, and functional ingredients — from menu development to product formulation — always balancing evidence\, feasibility\, and practical implementation. \nNaz has also taught future nutrition professionals as an instructor\, with an emphasis on critical thinking\, evidence-informed practice\, and applying nutrition science within food service\, community\, and institutional settings — a systems-based perspective that continues to shape how she approaches her consulting and industry work today. \nKnown for translating complex nutrition science into clear\, actionable guidance\, Naz helps organizations and professionals move from theory to practice with confidence.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The sights\, sounds\, and smells of one of the world’s most celebrated food cultures shaped everything about how he cooks and how he teaches. Raised by his Aunty “Ma” and his father\, a librarian\, he became a lifelong learner — and that’s exactly how he built his career. By doing. His brother Charles carries the family calling a a chef with Amtrak\, cooking his way across the country on the rails. \nHis career took him across North America\, managing and cooking at restaurants and bistros in the U.S. and Canada\, until a pivotal meeting changed everything. In 2005\, he was hand-picked by Peter Boyd\, CEO of Arcis\, off a salmon seeker in the Queen Charlotte Islands. Boyd wanted to build a Google-like culture at his company and believed food was the way to do it. Joseph came to Calgary and built exactly that — a café woven into the fabric of the company. They won Calgary Inc.’s Best Place to Work award. Peter became a mentor and a friend\, and Joseph feels his influence to this day. \nIn 2015\, Joseph moved to Matrix Environmental Solutions\, cooking daily for 150 employees. When COVID sent everyone home and closed the bistro\, he didn’t sit still. He set up a studio in his own kitchen\, got the word out with help from family and friends\, and Chef Joey was born. \nThe response was immediate. Five-star reviews. A write-up in Avenue Magazine. A feature by Food Network Canada. Named one of the best culinary experiences in Calgary by The Best Calgary. \nJoseph currently lives in Calgary with his pn — in Amsterdam\, California\, and Calgary — and is now a proud grandpa. He’s a practicing Buddhist\, a lifelong reader and picks up his guitar whenever the day allows. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
