Episode 7 - Nutrition

Unlearn to Learn

In today’s society, we’ve cultivated an ethos of instant gratification. Life is fast-paced. The role that nutrition plays in both preventing and treating obesity is crucial. Nutrition is a critical part of both health and development. Better diet and nutrition have shown to improve health, immune systems, lead to less lethargy, and more consistent energy levels and life longevity.

Whilst the causes of obesity are varied and involve a complex interplay between dietary factors and various internal genetics and external exposures, the role of nutrition is key not only for obesity but for our overall health.

In this episode of Unlearn to Learn, we’ll be talking about nutrition and the dietetic assessment. Through this, we’ll touch upon a bespoke form of treatment labelled ‘personalised nutrition’ and go on to look at the different types of diet out there, as well as the dietitian’s role as part of a multidisciplinary health team. In this episode, Honorary Consultant Dietitian Mary O’Kane from Leeds Teaching Hospitals joins Alexander to discuss how various psychosocial issues and factors can affect weight, as well as eating behaviours and disorders.
