The Dysphagia Duo, Part 1: The Impact of Nutrient Deficiencies on Swallowing Disorders
Cat Ludwig, RDN, LD, CLT
Dysphagia is often a condition we expect to see primarily in older adults, however more and more adolescents and young adults are being impacted by this condition. There is plenty of evidence that people with digestive and microbiome imbalances experience dysphagia of some form. Despite this, gut health is rarely included in the intervention process.
In this webinar, the first of a two-part series with the Dysphagia Duo, you will learn strategies to prevent and address deficiencies linked to dysphasia and the truth behind common misconceptions surrounding various swallowing disorders. We'll delve into the physical and psychological factors that contribute to this fear, and most importantly, we'll provide you with a range of empowering solutions to help your patients.
