You’re walking out the door, wrapping up your visit, and then it happens—
“...Oh, by the way, what do you think about ... ?” Sound familiar?

In this episode, I’m joined by Alexandria Hardy, MS, RD, LDN, to tackle the rapid-fire nutrition questions patients love to drop at the end of an appointment—when there’s zero time left to answer them well.

From weight loss and metabolism to carbs, supplements, and snacking habits, Alexandria shares how she answers these questions in a way that’s practical, respectful, and actually helps patients make better choices.

You’ll Learn:

What to say when patients ask for the fastest way to lose weight
The practical advice that helps patients apply what they already know
A smart trick for curbing nighttime snacking
How to talk about metabolism without feeding diet myths
What to say when patients are confused about carbs, sugar, and artificial sweeteners
