Upcoming SCI Alliance Webinar: Nutrition, Food & Dietary Advice for SCI

NorCal SCI is proud to host the next SCI Alliance webinar on Tuesday, November 10th at 5:30 PM PST, focusing on one of the most vital components of long-term health and wellness: Nutrition, Food & Dietary Advice for SCI.

We are excited to welcome back clinical dietitian Shelley Wood, MPH, RDN, from Santa Clara Valley Medical Center. Shelley is no stranger to our NorCal SCI community. Over the years, she has teamed up with us for numerous video sessions exploring healthy eating, meal preparation, and managing nutrition specifically tailored to life after a spinal cord injury. Her popular educational series and cooking videos remain a cornerstone of our YouTube resource library.

In addition to her clinical work at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, Shelley has led pioneering research on nutrition for spinal cord injuries. Her published research in The Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine evaluated tele-nutrition counseling for individuals with SCI, demonstrating significant improvements in day-to-day healthy eating behaviors—such as making balanced meal choices, reading nutrition labels, and managing portion sizes—with participants rating the remote dietary support with near-perfect satisfaction.

During this interactive presentation, Shelley will build on these insights, covering practical strategies for meal planning, navigating unique dietary needs after SCI, and maintaining optimal wellness through food. Whether you are looking to refine your daily habits or seeking targeted nutritional guidance, this session will provide actionable advice for individuals with SCI, family members, and caregivers.
