Today’s episode will change how you think (and talk) about food. Instead of obsessing over calories or cutting carbs, what if we taught patients to focus on nutrient density?

I’m joined by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, bestselling author of Nutrivore. You’ll learn how to shift the conversation from restriction to addition—and give patients permission to enjoy their food and improve their health.

What You’ll Learn:

How to explain nutrient density in 60 seconds (using a car analogy your patients will love)
The 5 foods to focus on first—without overwhelming your patients
What to say when a patient claims healthy eating is “too expensive” or “not for them”
Why “eat less, move more” can actually backfire—and how to reframe weight conversations
One tiny habit that can radically improve a patient’s nutrient intake
