Involving the patients in a dietary change can be complex, and solely imparting knowledge may not change their behaviour successfully.
"I work very closely with patients and their family members to customise meal plans that meet their specific needs. Involving the patients in a dietary change can be complex, and solely imparting knowledge may not change their behaviour successfully. In my role, I learn about motivational interviewing and its applications in health-risk reduction and behaviour change. By incorporating it into nutrition counselling sessions, I help my patients become less resistant, gain more motivation, and become more likely to change their behaviour for the better."
