Exam Room Nutrition: Where Busy Clinicians Learn About Nutrition
As a clinician, your patients are asking:
“What should I eat for diabetes?” “How do I lose weight?” “My child is so picky. What do I do?” But here’s the problem—you probably didn’t learn much about nutrition in school. The National Academy of Sciences recommends 25 hours of nutrition education for med students. Most of us? We got maybe 5.
Enter Exam Room Nutrition. Hosted by Colleen Sloan, a PA and RD with over a decade of experience, this podcast gives you clear, actionable strategies to tackle those tough nutrition questions with confidence—even when you’re pressed for time. From picky eaters to diabetes management, I’ll renew how you approach nutrition.

131 | AI Won’t Take Your Job (If You Learn to Use It)
AI is everywhere. Is it coming for our jobs… or just taking mundane tasks off your plate? If you’ve felt equal parts curious and cautious, this conversation will calm the noise and show you some brilliant ways AI makes your life easier, both professionally and personally.
In today’s episode, I’m joined by Raul Palacios, Registered Dietitian, educator, and AI-in-healthcare tinkerer who’s my go-to AI guru.
Key Takeaways:
AI terminology. A plain-English way to explain predictive analytics vs. generative AI vs. LLMs and finally understand things like hallucinations, prompt and Chat Bot.
Evidence at your fingertips. A smarter way to query clinical literature (e.g., set year ranges, human-only data, age group, comorbidities) so you don’t waste time sifting.
Easing your workflow. How recurring AI tasks can auto-pull new research to your phone (then file to Notion/Docs) and how agents can take on tedious admin (think scheduling calls and prior auth steps) with guardrails.
