Hi, and welcome to the Exam Room Nutrition podcast.

00:00:04.740 --> 00:00:06.389
I'm your host, Colleen Sloan.

00:00:06.629 --> 00:00:09.660
I'm a registered dietician and pediatric pa.

00:00:10.050 --> 00:00:17.760
I wanted to take this time and give you an overview of our goals and purpose behind the Exam Room Nutrition podcast.

00:00:17.990 --> 00:00:31.341
I've worked many years in outpatient pediatric medicine, and I realized that there's a huge gap between what we as clinicians know and how we communicate that with our patients, especially when it comes to sensitive information like nutrition and weight management.

00:00:31.588 --> 00:00:44.036
It became apparent that sometimes our recommendations can come off as vague, judgmental, or altogether unhelpful, and sometimes patients poses some challenging questions that we might not be equipped to answer.

00:00:44.250 --> 00:00:48.691
So wouldn't you like to navigate complex nutrition conversations with ease?

00:00:49.076 --> 00:00:51.176
Well, that's why I created exam room nutrition.

00:00:51.348 --> 00:00:56.929
we'll bring you engaging interviews with leading experts in the field of nutrition, communication and medicine.

00:00:56.996 --> 00:01:01.616
You'll gain valuable insights and practical tips that you can incorporate into your busy clinic day.

00:01:01.701 --> 00:01:08.091
Each episode will be about 20 to 30 minutes long, so you can listen in on your commute to or home from work or while you're making dinner.

00:01:08.213 --> 00:01:15.114
The goal for each episode is for the expert to answer the question, what would you say if your parent or patient asks you?

00:01:15.231 --> 00:01:16.462
My child is so picky.

00:01:16.701 --> 00:01:17.481
What do I do?

00:01:18.141 --> 00:01:22.132
Or, I heard that a diet can improve my A D H ADHD symptoms.

00:01:22.221 --> 00:01:23.182
What should I eat?

00:01:23.811 --> 00:01:25.941
Or I just had a cardiac event.

00:01:26.121 --> 00:01:27.141
Now what do I do?

00:01:27.272 --> 00:01:30.753
Or the school told me that my teenager is fat.

00:01:30.903 --> 00:01:31.653
What do I do?

00:01:31.759 --> 00:01:36.198
We'll have thought-provoking discussions that tackle these challenging topics and so much more.

00:01:36.296 --> 00:01:42.605
Our experts will provide you with actionable tips and advice that you can relay to your patients, So I know what you're thinking.

00:01:43.656 --> 00:01:47.046
This sounds great, Colleen, but my clinic day is already packed.

00:01:47.046 --> 00:01:51.301
There's no way that I can add anything more into my visits, guys.

00:01:51.600 --> 00:01:52.740
I'm in trenches with you.

00:01:52.740 --> 00:01:55.531
I totally understand, but that's why I created this podcast.

00:01:55.611 --> 00:02:01.161
Because I realize that unless you're a registered dietician, you sometimes dunno what to say and take it from me.

00:02:01.311 --> 00:02:05.031
I am a registered dietician and I sometimes don't remember what to say.

00:02:05.141 --> 00:02:10.722
So each episode is gonna give you a handful of helpful solutions that you can offer to your patients.

00:02:10.858 --> 00:02:14.848
So the next time your patient throws you a curve ball nutrition question, you'll be ready.

00:02:15.010 --> 00:02:25.300
Educating patients can be hard, but exam room nutrition is here to equip you with the language and skills so that you can provide nutrition education with compassion and confidence.

00:02:25.431 --> 00:02:28.461
So let's shape a healthier future together.

00:02:28.701 --> 00:02:30.412
One exam room at a time.
