This week Robin was joined by guest host, friend of the show, and IBD Dietitian, Stacey Collins! They spoke to Yi Min Teo! Yi Min is Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and owner of Herbs and Food – a virtual private practice specializing in digestive health and culturally-sensitive nutrition counseling. They talked about Yi Min growing up in Singapore and some of the cultural differences that she noted when she moved to the US and also some of the similarities. They discussed working with clients who have comorbid diagnoses with their IBD and the importance of personalizing a plan that works for all aspects of their health and circumstances. This lead to a really interesting conversation about incorporating cultural foods and traditions into diet plans and also to food accessibility and disparities. They also talked about advocacy and expanding dietitian services to even more people as well as meeting each patient where they're at to learn how to incorporate effective diet changes to each person's life circumstances. It was a really impactful discussion about food accessibility and how to make diet therapies more available to everyone living with IBD. Listen and learn along with me with this fun and important conversation!
