Fresh Focus

In a world where nutrition information is available from many sources, and many are not credible, the Fresh Focus podcast offers a safe place for Veterans to hear advice from the very Dietitians they can access in their clinic.  Dietitians from the Marion VA Health Care System will share evidenced based material, taking on today’s hot nutrition topics.  They encourage Veterans, their family, and caregivers to stay connected with a Dietitian when it’s most convenient. Series 1 contains six episodes based on what’s called “the healthy plate”.  The team is working on additional series content on pregnancy and lactation nutrition, diabetes meal planning, nutrition led cardiac rehab, caregiver support, intuitive eating, gardening, summer cooking and more.

Fresh Focus S6 #29: Malnutrition

June 14th, 2021|Fresh Focus, Health, Nutrition, VA Podcast Network|

When people think of seeing a Registered Dietitian, they think of eating healthier or aiming to lose weight to meet a specific goal. However, for some of our Veterans, gaining too much weight is not their problem it is actually quite the opposite. When you go many days without eating enough, many changes occur inside your body. Your body will start to break down muscle and fat to use for energy. This can lead to a condition called malnutrition.
