161 | The Art of Inviting Patients Into Treatment
Q: What strategies do you use to help a patient who doesn't cook or has limited time adopt healthier choices?

161 | The Art of Inviting Patients Into Treatment
Q: How do you begin a nutrition counseling session to make sure it's patient-centered from the start?
Start by asking the patient to prioritize their top concerns for the day, acknowledge their priorities, and then propose two or three additional topics to discuss, creating a collaborative agenda.
155 | Unstuck: Strategies for Sustainable Weight Loss
Q: What do you teach patients regarding sustainable weight loss and maintenance?
Focus on five core anchors—nutrition and eating behaviors, hydration, sleep, activity, and stress management—then tailor which to address first based on the patient, while avoiding overwhelming them by changing too many things at once; emphasize addition over subtraction and use habit trackers to maintain consistency.
149 | Why Kids Feel Anxious Around Food and How to Help
Q: What are two to three strategies to build confidence with eating in families' homes?
Foster a calm mealtime, involve kids in planning and choices, and replace judgmental language with neutral terms and sensory exploration to reduce pressure and gradually expand accepted foods.
149 | Why Kids Feel Anxious Around Food and How to Help
Q: Based on your expertise, how do early childhood experiences shape our lifelong eating habits?
Early feeding experiences create emotional scripts around food that persist into adulthood, influencing how we respond to meals, our self-perception, and our willingness to try new foods; addressing these early patterns with supportive language and a nonjudgmental environment is crucial.
