For anyone interested in learning about using REAL FOOD for tube feeding, you have to listen to this conversation! My friend and fellow dietitian, Hilarie Geurink is here to share alllll of her knowledge on this area and I know you will leave with so many amazing takeaways. She knows her stuff, but she is also so compassionate and recognizes this is not one-size-fits-all, and shares how you can achieve this with your unique feeding situation to improve symptoms & quality of life. As a mom of a medically complex kiddo with a G-tube, I am so grateful for all of her tips!

Here’s what we covered:

• What IS the blended diet? What does it look like?
• What are the benefits of the blended diet according to research and your experience with clients?
• Blended tube feeding myth busting
• Which blenders / equipment are most popular for blended tube feeding?
• Mindset shifts about tube fed diets
• Food safety concerns and tips
• Success stories of families switching to blended tube feeding – to give you HOPE that this could be YOU!
• Some quick tips for medical parents on getting equipment & more
