About This Episode:

There is no shortage of misleading, confusing and even dangerous nutrition information on the internet. And, unfortunately, much of it can sound very convincing and appealing to people who wish to improve their health. The result can be that they may end up ironically doing the opposite.

At an individual level, dietitians and medical practitioners end up having to work with patients who have heard incorrect information or who have been following poor advice.

What issues does this present? What is the most productive way to help patients and clients in this situation? How can we help give better information while also listening and caring for the patient?

To discuss such questions, dietitian Jonathan Steedman is on the podcast to share his experiences and approaches to spreading evidence-based information in a palatable and productive manner.
