Think Like a Dietitian: A Nutrition Counseling Starter Kit

While courses in nutrition counseling teach providers to listen to their patients, this book gives registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs) a heads-up on what to listen for, with educational materials that address the everyday challenges many people, hence many RDNs, face.

Split into four distinct sections, this book equips readers with comprehensive education and counseling for the most common nutrition referrals.

Topics covered include:

- How to structure a nutrition counseling session, from getting a patient to open up right through to addressing personal challenges such as cultivating empathy and dealing with implicit bias.

- Routine eating patterns and challenges reported in nutrition counseling, such as night eating, emotional eating, and more.

- Common reasons for referral to a dietitian and frequently asked questions

- Special issues in health education

This book is appealing to both early nutrition professionals and experienced dietitians alike, providing a holistic tool kit for RDNs of all levels of experience.
