| How did you become interested in the nutrition-focused exam?: |
| A workshop at our state dietetic meeting back about 15 years ago whet my interest in the subject and actually ignited a motivation that led to attending a longer, hands on workshop. This eventually led to my going back to school and getting my PhD. |
| What lesions or abnormalities do you see most in your practice?: |
| It is surprising, I see everything from tongues of all hues, fissured tongues, geographic tongues, lobulated tongues to angular fissuring, to corneal arcus, cellophane-like skin and easily pluckable hair on a regular basis. |
| What topics would like to learn more about?: |
| I would like to know what you would like to see developed to make learning how to do a nutrition-focused physical exam and identification of nutrient-based lesions easier. |
| How can we help with this site?: |
| Let me know your needs. Ask to be a contributor if you are doing nutrition-focused physical exams in your practice. |
Having taught nutrition-focused physical examination at UNLV in the Nutrition Lab portion of the Nutrition class I taught for nutrition majors spurred my interest in developing this web site. I'm working full time at my "day jobs" so be patient with additions to the site. As mentioned earlier, I would love to have those of you in the field who are doing nutrition-focused physical exams become Contributors to the web site. Your areas of expertise would be very welcome! And the way we can make this web site most helpful to students, interns and practitioners is to have lots of good input. Send me an email if you are interested in becoming a Contributor: adele@nutritionfocusedexam.com
A colleague and I do workshops across the US if that is something you are interested in for your dietetic association or interest group meetings. We will even come to college or university campuses and teach an extended lab or weekend class.
On the lighter side, I love working with horses and even have several for sale (weanlings, 1 yearling, 1 two-year-old, 3 young mares trained for trail and cattle, brood mares) if you are in the market  end of sales pitch! They are all registered quarter horses.
I use Clinton Anderson's techniques in training and find it a very satisfying and relaxing hobby. Enough of that, now let me see your profile.
