Thank you to Becca Van Roekel and the Iowa chapter

Thank you to Becca Van Roekel and the Iowa chapter of Dietetics in Health Care Communities - DHCC, a DPG of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics for inviting me to emcee their annual meeting “Empowering the Dietitian”. 🙌

My keynote, midday breakout and wrap up was titled “Communicating the RDN Value through Productive Conversations” and aimed to inspire attendees to enhance their careers through communication skills such as handling difficult questions, better listening and finding common ground as well as create an action plan for their learnings from the day. 👏

It was a fun and fulfilling day learning about the science behind self-regulation and the Ethical Decision Making Model, the important work of the Hospice team, what you need to know about being your own boss and successful small businesses, ageism in healthcare and nutrition services for seniors.

Extra special treat was getting to see friend and former coworker Nikki Mortimer Stahr and catch up over dinner. 😍

Special thanks to NCBA for supporting my honorarium and travel. 🙏

What’s all the hype about ultra processed foods

What’s all the hype about ultra processed foods - are they causing negative health outcomes? And what does the research show? 🤷‍♀️

Did you know that the Dietary Guidelines for Americans is addressing this topic right now? 🤔

Research on ultra-processed foods (UPF) has greatly increased over the past few years as has media coverage on the topic. The 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC) will address the scientific question: “What is the relationship between dietary patterns with varying amounts of ultra-processed foods and growth, body composition, and risk of obesity.”

👉Tune into this Sound Bites® Podcast episode with Dr. Joanne Slavin to learn about:
• The role of processed foods/food processing in the diet
• Various definitions of UPF
• DGAC’s process for addressing scientific questions
• Why processing and UPF has emerged as an issue
• Current, prominent research studies on UPF
• Consumer attitudes and beliefs, realities of UPF in the diet
• Expert recommendations for healthy dietary patterns
• Food technology’s role in providing a nutritious, safe, sustainable food supply
• Resources and references

The second annual Storytelling retreat hosted by t

The second annual Storytelling retreat hosted by the incomparable Scott Whitehair and his phenomenal team this past weekend was a magical mixture of learning and practicing the craft of storytelling, connecting with smart, kind and creative people, and playing games and other fun activities to foster creativity and connections.

I am so inspired by Scott and his team, this community and the guest speakers Willa Taylor, Melissa Perrin, Liz Allen, Carlos Murillo and Ray Christian.

Unlike last year, I didn’t win the lottery to get up and tell a story at the mic but I do have one in the works and plan to share it at a Chicago story event in the next few months.

Thank you Scott, Sylvia, Judy and the entire retreat team for everything you do for this community!

Intermittent fasting (IF) diets are rising in popu

Intermittent fasting (IF) diets are rising in popularity and more human clinical trials are being conducted to determine their safety and efficacy.

The most studied forms of intermittent fasting to date include alternate day fasting (‘fast day’ alternating with ‘feast days’), the 5:2 diet (two fast days and five feast days per week), and time-restricted eating (only eating within a specific window of time each day).

However, only a few studies have examined the health benefits of these diets in humans. This podcast episode discusses these findings and shares insights into the effects of intermittent fasting on body weight and risk factors for cardiometabolic disease as well as practical advice for how to incorporate intermittent fasting diets and recommendations for future research.

Tune into this Sound Bites Podcast episode with IF researcher @drkristavarady to learn about:

✅Different types of IF and why it’s rising in popularity
✅How much research has been done in animals and humans
✅What the research shows regarding safety and efficacy
✅How IF may impact cardiometabolic risk factors including blood pressure, lipids, glucose, insulin, insulin resistance, inflammation and oxidative stress
✅What IF research has shown regarding diet quality and protein intake
✅Whether fasting has been shown to trigger overeating
✅The role of behavior change counseling
✅What the research indicates about maintenance of lean body mass and maintaining weight loss
✅Potential adverse effects of IF
✅Limitations in the research
✅How post-menopausal women respond to IF
✅A new study on IF and type 2 diabetes
✅An overview of what the body of research shows regarding breakfast and weight management
✅Future research directions for IF
✅Tips for getting started, who might benefit most and who may not be a good candidate

Spent a few days in Kansas working with Dietetic Interns at KU and K State on media and communication skills. The students did an outstanding job of applying their learnings in their food/cooking demos! Thank you to @wholeplaterd and her awesome team at @ksbeef for inviting me to collaborate on these workshops again this year and providing this opportunity for dietetics students to learn about communication skills, current research on lean beef’s role in a healthy diet, and the facts about cattle ranching directly from Kansas ranchers and even a “cattle dietitian” (ruminant nutritionist).
