    Meal replacements are an excellent tool for weight management. But they aren't the same as protein shakes.  Medical weight-loss dietitian Julia Axelbaum joins me to clear up the confusion, define the difference (they are not interchangeable), and map out exactly when to use each—on their own or alongside evidence-based tools like GLP-1s.

    124 | Coaching vs. Advice: Simple Skills That Transform Your Practice

    Coaching Skills for Clinical Practice. Because if you want patients to actually change, you need to coach—not just prescribe. I’m joined by Annie Wildermuth—RD, PA, PhD-trained researcher, and certified leadership & performance coach. Annie breaks down what real coaching is (and isn’t), how to spot legitimate coach training, and the exact questions that open patients up—without adding time to your visit. You’ll walk away with a pocketful of phrases to build trust, reduce defensiveness, and get to the real barrier faster.  HERE ARE 3 TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: Coaching ≠ mentoring, consulting, or therapy. Coaching is forward-looking and non-prescriptive—designed to help patients surface their own best next step (not adopt ours).  Swap “why” questions for “what” or “how.” “Why” invites judgment; “what/how” lowers defenses and yields a deeper understanding in less time. Three levels of listening. Move beyond content-only listening to “complete” listening—words + tone + context + body language—so you don’t miss what the patient is saying without words. Want to ask me a question?
