Knowing the nutrition isn't enough — this is how you get patients to change. MI, stages of change and proven counselling tools made practical for dietitians.
Who it's for
Every dietitian whose patients "know what to do but don't do it." Especially private practice, diabetes, weight management, and GI dietitians.
What's inside
Clinical Guide — motivational interviewing (OARS, the four processes, change talk and sustain talk, responding to resistance), transtheoretical model (precontemplation → maintenance), conviction-confidence scales, SMART and SMARTER goals, learned helplessness and how to counter it, self-determination theory, cognitive behavioural techniques (thought records, behavioural experiments), habit science (cue-routine-reward), session structure templates, difficult-conversation scripts.
Patient Handout Pack — 12 handouts: understanding change, readiness to change, how motivation works, SMART goal worksheet, a week of habits, thought records, triggers and coping, setbacks and restarts, asking for support, celebrating progress, sleep and motivation, and bottom-drawer principles.
Bonus: 20 Counselling Worksheets — ready-to-print MI decisional balance, values elicitation, goal-setting, relapse planning, conviction-confidence scale and more.
Recipe Collection — 35 low-effort, achievable recipes that support the regular-eating and habit-stacking strategies in the Clinical Guide. Each recipe takes < 20 minutes and asks for one new behaviour, not five.
