This episode I will be sharing:
■ Factors involved in our current focus on food in our society
■ Insights into some hidden factors contributing to poor nutrition
■ Our role as NPs in managing the current nutrition crisis
■ ...and so much more!
It is an extremely daunting task to care for today’s patient. We we live in a society that is getting their information from social media and mass marketing. We are fighting every step of the way to get people to control their co-morbidities. People are going to the Internet to find health tips. We go through a different fad every few years. The people who are giving out information, most often are looking for their own monetary gain or are not educated in managing a person with complicated health conditions. This can be dangerous! Re-educating our patient population, as well as ourselves is going to be the new way of life.
I have spoken to so many other NPs that don’t know how to teach patients about nutrition or even how to mange their own nutrition. BUT WE ARE EXPECTED TO KNOW it all! Society and patients look to us as medical professionals to guide them into the right direction. So listen in for insights addressing this issue!
