  • Anyone looking to start (or continue!) their bariatric career with the confidence and knowledge to succeed. Registered Dietitians and Certified Nutrition Specialists (CNS) can earn 20 CEU credits.

  • When I started as a bariatric dietitian, I thought my formal education would be enough; however, I was soon proven wrong as I struggled with everything: supplement recommendations, emotional preparation for patients before surgery, and troubleshooting post-op issues. I felt insecure and unsure about my critical work with patients.

    Now, I’ve combined cutting-edge evidence with almost 15 years of experience to launch this course.

  • Examples of Compassionate Conversations. I’ll share the specific language I use to help empower patients in their health journey.

    Bariatric Nutrition Resource Library. Bariatric surgery topics can be challenging and nuanced. Access reference sheets, helpful resources, and continually updated research as you apply this knowledge in real life.

    Live Monthly Work Sessions. Join monthly interactive calls to dive into challenging cases, continue to sharpen your nutrition skills, and guarantee an informed approach in your day-to-day job.

What’s Gut Health got to do with it?

In this course, Katie breaks down the microbiome itself, what may occur after bariatric surgery, and some of her tried and true tricks of nutrition and supplementation.

  • Science of the Microbiome. Explore the 'hot topic' that is the microbiome and its relation to obesity, bariatric surgery, chronic diseases, and mental health.

    Nutrition and supplementation recommendations. Evidence and experience backed guidance to improve patient's gut health through food and supplementation.

    Understand Microbiome Testing. As knowledge about the microbiome grows, testing can be an additional tool to assess your patient's flora for targeted solutions to improve symptoms and disease states.

  • Navigate your patient’s digestion to improve their health and quality of life.

  • Although the focus is on bariatric surgery, this course can be helpful for anyone wanting to gain further insight and education on how to address the microbiome and its relation to obesity and other chronic conditions.

  • Gut Health is such an important component of metabolism, weight loss, and other health conditions such as insulin resistance.

    There's been an increased focus and research in this area, which can help practitioners address the microbiome in overall patient care.

    I also review microbiome testing for those that may be looking at this additional tool.
