In today’s episode, we're discussing a topic that often takes a back seat in mainstream health discussions but is a growing concern for both healthcare professionals and their patients: brain health and cognitive longevity. With Alzheimer’s rates rising globally and cognitive decline impacting millions, understanding how diet plays a role in protecting brain function is more critical than ever. That’s where the MIND diet comes in—a science-backed approach to eating that’s showing incredible promise for supporting memory, focus, and overall cognitive health.
If you’re a clinician interested in providing your patients with actionable, evidence-based guidance on brain health, this episode is a must-listen! We explore how the MIND diet can slow cognitive decline, why specific foods support brain function, and how you can implement these strategies in patient conversations to make a meaningful impact on their lives.

Ever had a parent tell you they’re at their wits' end with their child’s picky eating? Or maybe you’ve said the phrase, "Don’t worry, they’ll eat when they’re hungry," and wondered if that’s really the best advice. In this episode, we discuss the psychology behind picky eating and why forcing kids to eat might do more harm than good.
I sit down with pediatric feeding expert, Thalia Prum, who shares some fresh strategies for addressing picky eating in ways that actually work—and don’t create a power struggle between the parent and the child. We tackle why the "starve them into eating" mindset backfires, how to involve parents without making them feel like they’ve failed, and practical steps you can share with families to create a healthier, less stressful relationship with food.
Here's what you’ll learn:
Why the common "they’ll eat when they're hungry" approach can damage a child’s mental and physical healthHow to foster a positive mealtime experience without the battlesTips to help parents feel more confident in managing picky eating without guiltThe importance of protecting a child’s mental health when discussing weight and diet in the clinicConnect with Thalia:

You’ve probably heard of weight bias, but have you considered food bias? This is how our assumptions about ethnic foods might be impacting our patients’ care. As healthcare professionals, we can unknowingly categorize cultural foods as “unhealthy” or “junk,” simply based on stereotypes. But here’s the reality: traditional ethnic foods are often far more nutritious and balanced than we give them credit for.
Today, I'm sitting down with Mexican-American Registered Dietitian, Areli, Gutierrez to explore traditional Mexican cuisine through the lens of kidney health, breaking down why it’s essential to respect cultural foods while guiding patients. By recognizing our own biases and assumptions, we can provide better, more compassionate nutrition recommendations that allow our patients to enjoy their cultural heritage without guilt.
This episode is packed with actionable strategies for clinicians, from understanding the role of traditional foods to celebrating what patients are already doing right. Tune in to rethink how you approach nutrition with culturally diverse patients!

Is turmeric the anti-inflammatory miracle it’s hyped up to be? Should vitamin D be on your radar for more than just bone health? Are probiotics worth the price tag, or are they just a trendy gut-health fad? And what about athletic greens—are they the magic bullet for optimal nutrition, or just an expensive daily habit?
You’re going to walk away with answers to these questions and learn what to ask your patients before they reach for the next “miracle” supplement. I sat down with Krystle, an oncology dietitian, who shared her expert take on four of the most popular supplements on the market right now.

Turmeric: While it’s widely known for its anti-inflammatory properties, the research supporting its effectiveness is still mixed. What should you consider before recommending it to your patients?
Vitamin D: Beyond bone health, there’s increasing interest in its role in cancer prevention and immune function. But is supplementation always necessary, or are patients overdoing it?
Probiotics: Are they the key to gut health, or just an expensive trend? Krystle explains when probiotics might be helpful and when they could do more harm than good.
Athletic Greens: These nutrient-packed powders claim to replace a daily multivitamin—but do they live up to the hype? We explore the actual benefits versus the marketing.

In this episode of the Exam Room Nutrition podcast, Colleen welcomes Dr. Michelle May, a former family physician and expert in mindful eating. They discuss the importance of shifting away from the diet mentality and embracing weight neutral and weight inclusive healthcare.
Key Takeaways:Copy and paste this phrase into your notes app: "I understand that you're interested in losing weight. Could I suggest that maybe instead of us having this conversation today, we try something a little, surprising. And that is for the next week or two, every time you feel like eating, pause for a moment and check in, ask yourself, am I hungry? See what you notice and then come back in a couple of weeks for an appointment just for this discussion, rather than, rushing through it today. How does that sound?"
