Hi guys! Today I am discussing bariatric surgery. I cover the criteria for the surgery, the five types of surgery, the benefits and risks, the pre-surgical nutrition eval, nutritional impacts, the nutritional and medical management post-op, dumping syndrome, and the long-term nutrition and medical management. I end this episode with an example of an ADIME note for this particular patient as well. I loved covering this topic and I really recommend further research if you find this interesting!

Hey guys! Today I cover disorders of the lower GI tract including constipation, diarrhea, lactose intolerance, celiac disease, Chron's disease, ulcerative colitis, inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, and a few other topics. I apologize if the episode seems a little disordered, I just got back from vacation so I am not fully here yet. But please enjoy the episode and I hope you learn something!

Hey guys! Today I had the pleasure of interviewing one of my best friends! Aaron and his family are located in my hometown, owning a small family farm growing row crops such as corn, soybeans, and tobacco. Today we discuss his opinions and experiences with GMOs, product labeling, sustainability, changes in farming practices, and the potentials for the farming market in the future. I learned so much from this interview that I was not expected and hope you do as well!!!

Hey guys! Today I am briefly covering the pathophysiology and medical nutrition therapy for some upper GI disorders. The disorders covered include cleft palate and lip, GERD, Barrett's esophagus, peptic ulcers, dumping syndrome, gastroparesis, and some cancers. This is a very brief covering of these disorders and should really just be used to familiarize yourself! This episode is a great headway into bariatric surgery, which we will be covering in the next student session episode!

Today I will be discussing another introductory topic that is pretty necessary before diving into specific pathophysiology topics and conditions. We will be covering the three I's or inflammation, infection, and immunity. This is again a very introductory episode so I am not going into crazy detail on any topic, but it is good surface-level info! Learn why your skin gets hot and gross when you have a splinter, or why blood-typing matters in terms of infusions!

Today we will be covering the importance of fluid in the body and how the electrolyte you consume can affect your health. This is kind of an introduction to pathophysiology, but you will also be coving these topics in your physiology class. This is a very important topic to discuss before going into the diseases that are talked about in pathophysiology because a lot of what is discussed here is related to how the body is going to function and balance electrolytes in disease-states. Afterward, I will cover acid-base imbalances on a surface level understanding, just as an introduction. I really encourage you to look up the pathways in your own time to get a better understanding of how the body compensates for a pH imbalance!

Sorry for the delay, I have been home home for the week! But today we discuss adult and older adult nutrition starting at the age of 21 and going until death.

Energy Needs Estimation Equations: 

Mifflin-St. Jeor Equation: 

Men: (10 × weight in kg) + (6.25 × height in cm) - (5 × age in years) + 5.

Women: (10 × weight in kg) + (6.25 × height in cm) - (5 × age in years) - 161.

Multiply that value with the following activity factor: 

Sedentary: 1.2

Lightly active: 1.375

Moderately active: 1.55

Very active: 1.725

Extra active: 1.9
