What Does This All Mean?

• Trends are largely a spin on the already existing • Staying abreast of trends can benefit the relationship between practitioner and patient by improving communication • Use clinical judgment and understand the foundation of the trend

Communication

"It has long been recognized that difficulties in the effective delivery of health care can arise from problems in communication between patient and provider rather than from any failing in the technical aspects of medical care. Improvements in provider-patient communication can have beneficial effects on health outcomes". Appropriate reassurance or pragmatic suggestions to help with problem solving and setting up a structured plan of action may be an important part of the patient care that is required.

Real CARBS Vegetables/Fruits Food

The role of the practitioner is to guide the patient to the most appropriate diet; regardless of its popularity. Trends should not be associated with negativity but rather a tool for the practitioner to use in greater access and exposure to diet change.
