Unpacking Weight Science Pod-Course Episode 17
'Dieting, Illness and Malnutrition at Every Size'
Malnutrition is a condition that has both short-term and long lasting consequences. In this episode I unpack the science of malnutrition, it’s signs and symptoms and as always, how our intentional weight loss focus results in dangerous malnutrition invisibility.
Learning Outcomes
Recognise the hallmark signs of undernutrition across the weight span
Identify the risks associated with undernutrition across the lifespan
Appreciate the differences in consensus statement development methodology: literature review versus Delphi method.
How does the Unpacking Weight Science Pod-Course work as Professional Development?
Each pod-course (podcast-based course) is designed with the continuing professional development of health professionals in mind. Many of the Unpacking Weight Science podcast episodes that the pod-course materials are based around are also available on iTunes, YouTube and Spotify. However, this course is where you can turn them into assessed professional development with a Certificate of Completion.
Listening time is 20-30 minutes per episode. Reading the supporting materials and taking the quiz should take a further 30-40 minutes. This means you'll gain about an hour of assessed professional development from this course. You will have 12 months from your date of enrolment to complete the course.
