112 | Quick Nutrition Answers for the “One More Question” Patient

112 | Quick Nutrition Answers for the “One More Question” Patient

In this week’s episode we’re sharing bite-sized answers to the nutrition questions your patients love to throw at you—often at the very end of the visit. My guest, Nina, is a registered dietitian who specializes in weight management, and she’s here to help you deliver fast, practical advice your patients will actually use.

You’ll learn:

  • The 3 no-cook meals Nina recommends to the “I hate cooking” crowd
  • How to teach quick label-reading skills in under 30 seconds
  • What to say when a patient asks about eating before bed (hint: it's not about the clock)
  • The truth about electrolytes—who needs them, who doesn’t, and when
  • The foods and micronutrients that actually impact sleep quality

Whether your patient skips meals, lives on frozen entrees, or wants to swap soda for something healthier, this episode is packed with quick wins you can use this week in clinic.
