Follow the show: The Good Clean Nutrition Podcast
Nutrition needs shift as we age, and appetite, muscle, and bone all change along with them. What does that mean for you, or for someone you care for?
In this episode, host Dr. Ginger Hultin is joined by Katie Dodd, MS, RDN, CSG, LD, FAND, a board-certified specialist in gerontological nutrition who has built her career around helping older adults age with strength.
Together, they look at how to adapt your nutrition as you get older, starting with muscle. Katie explains sarcopenia in plain terms, why malnutrition in older adults can show up at any body weight, and which nutrients become more important after 65. The conversation also touches on GLP-1 medications in older adults, hydration, supplements like creatine and collagen, and how quickly a medication list can crowd out room for food.
One theme runs through the whole conversation. Food is bound up with identity and memory, and lasting nutrition changes start with the person, not the plan.
