Description

As a clinician, your patients are asking:  “What should I eat for diabetes?” “How do I lose weight?” “My child is so picky. What do I do?” But here’s the problem—you probably didn’t learn much about nutrition in school. The National Academy of Sciences recommends 25 hours of nutrition education for med students. Most of us? We got maybe 5.   Enter Exam Room Nutrition. Hosted by Colleen Sloan, a PA and RD with over a decade of experience, this podcast gives you clear, actionable strategies to tackle those tough nutrition questions with confidence—even when you’re pressed for time. From picky eaters to diabetes management, I’ll renew how you approach nutrition.

141 | 6 Reasons Patients Struggle to Lose Weight
2026/01/28
Patient-Centered Weight Management | Dr. Robert Kushner on the Six-Factor Questionnaire, GLP-1s, and Lifestyle Counseling  “Eat less, move more” might be the fastest way to lose your patient’s trust, according my my guest Dr. Robert Kushner, a passionate doctor, educator, and researcher who has spent more than four decades improving care for people living with overweight and obesity. Dr. Kushner shares the framework from his new book, Patient-Centered Weight Management: The Six-Factor Professional Program and Toolkit, including his 27-item Six-Factor Questionnaire designed to quickly identify what’s really driving a patient’s struggles (food environment, time, mindset, movement, self-talk and more). You’ll also hear how lifestyle counseling fits alongside today’s anti-obesity medications, including GLP-1 receptor agonists. If you counsel patients on weight, obesity, nutrition, or behavior change, and you want a time-efficient system you can use in real clinic visits, you'll love this framework. Resources: Buy the book!

140 | Obesity Care Through a Mental Health Lens
2026/01/21
What’s missing in obesity care? It’s not another diet plan or more willpower.  In this episode Colleen  is joined by Dr. Robyn Pashby, clinical health psychologist and co-author of The New Food Fight, to unpack the mental and emotional side of obesity care (the part most clinicians were never trained to address) Together, they break down why shame, stigma, and oversimplified “just eat less and move more” messaging continue to derail patient progress, even in the era of GLP-1 medications. Dr. Pashby introduces the powerful concept of food noise vs. shame noise, explains why some patients feel safer seeking care from pop-up prescribing clinics, and shares practical, trauma-informed strategies clinicians can use, even in short visits.  In this episode, you’ll learn: Why willpower is the wrong framework for behavior change and weight managementHow to talk about weight without triggering shame or damaging trustThe difference between food noise and shame noise and why medications don’t fix bothLanguage clinicians should avoid (and what to say instead) in weight conversationsHow to support patients on GLP-1 and anti-obesity medications beyond the prescriptionWhat Health at Every Size gets right and how to practice health at many sizes Red flags for disordered eating in patients of all body sizesIf you want patients to stay engaged in care, feel safe coming back, and make sustainable progress, this conversation will give you a new lens Resources: Obesity Medicine Nutrition Course - use code POD15 for 15% off!

139 | The New Food Pyramid: Experts React to the Dietary Guidelines
2026/01/14
The 2026 Dietary Guidelines for Americans just dropped and the new upside-down food pyramid caused quite the chatter online this week.  In this special Nutrition Newsroom roundtable, Colleen Sloan, PA, RDN, brings together nine nutrition experts to break down what the new guidelines actually are (and what they’re not), what stayed the same, what changed, and what’s missing.  You’ll hear respectful disagreement, real-world clinical concerns, and practical talking points you can use the next time a patient says, “So… butter is healthy now?” Here’s what we discuss:  What the Dietary Guidelines are designed to do and how they’re created. Plus what was different about the 2026 processWhy the new pyramid graphic is creating mixed messages for clinicians and consumersThe most controversial updates: saturated fat, full-fat dairy, added sugar guidance for kids, new protein targets, and alcohol recommendationsHow to translate all of this into patient-friendly counseling without fearmongering or food shamingWhat experts say the guidelines missed: fiber, cultural diversity, access/affordability, and community surrounding mealsWhat are your thoughts on the new guideline?

137 | Cholesterol in the Brain: Connecting Heart Health and Alzheimer’s
2025/12/10
"What’s good for the heart is good for the brain."  Can better cholesterol management in midlife actually lower your patient’s risk of Alzheimer’s disease?  In this episode, I’m joined by returning guest Josh Wageman, PhD, PA-C, a clinical lipid specialist who studied cholesterol disturbances in Alzheimer’s disease.  Together, we unpack how cholesterol, APOB, APOE4, insulin resistance, and statins intersect with Alzheimer’s disease and cognitive decline, and what clinicians can do now to protect brain health long before symptoms appear.  Plus, a peek at emerging therapies (including GLP-1 receptor agonists and lipid-centric approaches) and how a metabolic lens is reshaping future Alzheimer’s treatment.

136 | Pork’s Role in Modern Obesity Treatment
2025/12/03
GLP-1 medications are changing the game in obesity care. Patients are losing weight, feeling full faster… and often eating less overall. But less food can also mean less muscle, unless we guide them toward the right nutrition.   In today’s episode, we unpack how clinicians can better counsel patients using anti-obesity meds, and how nutrient-dense, affordable options like pork can support satiety, muscle maintenance, and sustainable weight loss.  In this episode, we cover:  How GLP-1 medications affect hunger, fullness, and food preference What makes a protein “high quality” — and why that matters for preserving lean mass How pork compares to other proteins like chicken, tofu, and beef when it comes to: Nutrients like vitamin B12, selenium, iron, and thiamin Satiety and fullness Affordability and accessibility How to assess whether a patient is meeting protein needs — even with a reduced appetite The “Pork + Plants” strategy and why pairing protein with fiber supports GLP-1 success This episode is brought to you by the National Pork Board’s Pork & Partners healthcare professional community, helping clinicians reframe the role of lean pork in a healthy diet.

134 | Weight Doesn’t Equal Worth, But It Still Impacts Health. Here’s How to Talk About It.
2025/11/12
How To Address Weight In A Body Positive Culture In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Tzvi Doron, a board-certified Family and Obesity Medicine physician and lipidology expert, to unpack the middle ground between body neutrality and evidence-based obesity care. We talk about how to approach weight without shame, how weight loss impacts lipids and cardiometabolic risk, and why protecting lean mass should be your new top priority in weight management. Key Takeaways Weight ≠ worth. But it still influences health, and that’s okay to address.Ask permission first. “Is it okay if we talk about how your weight may be impacting your health?” opens the door without judgment.Protect lean mass. Resistance training + adequate protein are non-negotiable for long-term health.Obesity is a brain disease. Effective care focuses on underlying drivers, not just pounds lost.Success looks different. Better labs, more energy, improved function, and confidence count as wins.Resources Mentioned Episode 111 | HDL Good, LDL Bad — It’s Not That SimpleObesity Medicine Nutrition Course: Earn 10.5 CE credits and learn how to help patients change (use code POD15 for 15% off)Connect with Dr DoronAny Questions?

132 | It’s Not Your Job to Make Patients Change
2025/10/29
It’s not your job to make patients change.

You’ll learn practical ways to apply behavior change psychology and motivational interviewing principles in real exam-room conversations.  Staci shares how resistance often hides wisdom, why fear-based motivation backfires, and how to use curiosity and compassion to help patients reconnect with their own inner drive to change.

2025/10/22
AI is everywhere. Is it coming for our jobs… or just taking mundane tasks off your plate? If you’ve felt equal parts curious and cautious, this conversation will calm the noise and show you some brilliant ways AI makes your life easier, both professionally and personally. In today’s episode, I’m joined by Raul Palacios, Registered Dietitian, educator, and AI-in-healthcare tinkerer who’s my go-to AI guru.  Key Takeaways: AI terminology.

130 | A Slightly Spicy Heart-Health Debate: Real Talk Between a PA & RD
2025/10/15
What happens when a dietitian and a PA sit down to talk about heart disease—from both sides of the exam room? In this episode, Colleen brings together two heart health experts: Michelle Routhenstein, MS, RD, CDCES, a cardiovascular dietitian known for her evidence-based prevention strategies, and Josh Wageman, PA-C, PhD, a clinical lipid specialist who’s spent his career studying cholesterol disturbances and Alzheimer’s. Together, they tackle one of medicine’s most common (and confusing) topics—heart health. You’ll hear how each expert thinks, what they prioritize, and how they talk with patients who are juggling elevated LDL, inflammation, insulin resistance, or menopause-related changes.  By the end, you’ll see how bridging nutrition and medicine leads to smarter, more patient-centered care—because this is how the healthcare team should work anyway.  Resources: Episode 38 | Love Your Heart with Michelle Episode 111 | HDL Good, LDL Bad with Josh Episode 117 | The Best Diet to Lower Cholesterol with Josh Connect with Michelle Buy Josh's Book Any Questions?

128 | Silencing Food Noise By Finding Your Food Voice. Helping Patients Escape Diet Culture.
2025/10/01
In this episode, I sit down with Julie Duffy Dillon, RDN, therapist, and author of Find Your Food Voice, to help clinicians replace diet-culture with practical, patient-centered coaching. We dig into what a “food voice” is, why so many people get disconnected from it, and how you can guide patients back to hunger/fullness cues without meal plans, shame, or quick fixes. You’ll leave with language you can use tomorrow in clinic—plus simple interventions (like CHiPs check-ins and “letters to food”) that help patients quiet the noise, honor body diversity, and focus on behaviors that truly move health forward.
