This episode is all about inborn errors of metabolism and who better to talk to than Danielle Vice, an amazing metabolic dietitian and a special friend of mine. We have a great conversation about metabolic conditions that might pop up on the exam. This conversation is sure to make you fall in love with metabolics. And at the very least, you'll be reminded why dietitians are so incredible and important.

This is what you'll learn in this episode:

• How to manage the diet for people with Phenylketonuria (PKU) and why dietary management is so incredibly important
• MNT for homocystinuria
• An overview of Maple Syrup Urine Disease (MSUD)
• A review of Urea Cycle Defects
