Are you dealing with food refusals or poor eating habits from your person with dementia?
On Thursday, June 18 at 7:30pm EDT, I'm hosting a Members Only Workshop called "Overcoming Dementia Eating Problems," and I'm bringing in a guest expert who lives and breathes this topic.
Barbie Boules is a registered dietitian who has spent nearly 25 years specializing in brain health and dementia nutrition, and she's also a caregiver herself, caring for her mother who has Alzheimer's.
She'll be joining me live to answer your questions and share exactly what works when your person refuses food, will only eat sweets, overeats, or barely eats at all.
Isn't it time you felt at peace knowing you're doing the best you can with this?
This workshop is for caregivers who want to learn:
Why your person refuses meals or will only eat sweets, so you can stop taking it personally and respond in a way that actually gets them eating real food.
Which foods truly nourish a changing brain, so you can feel confident every plate is helping instead of guessing.
What to do when they overeat or crave sugar nonstop, so you can keep them safe without turning every meal into a battle.
How to handle eating in the later stages, from staying hydrated to making soft foods appealing, so you can protect their comfort and hold onto your own peace of mind.
The Workshop Will Consist Of:
A live Zoom presentation with the opportunity to ask questions to a dementia nutrition expert, volunteer, and participate to get a hands on experience.
Simple, repeatable actions you can implement immediately at the next meal, instead of dreading it.
Opportunities to bounce ideas off other caregivers with a breakout rooms session at the end (usually for 15 minutes after the hour-long main session has ended.)
A questions & answers session where any questions you have will be answered.
Clear, simple guidance so you can stop arguing or feeling powerless and start feeling confident about what to do next.

Keep fast answers within reach the moment things go sideways, so you can respond with calm the next time they refuse to eat.
Dementia Nutrition Cheatsheet

Sneak nutrition in and boost calories when they barely eat, so you can stop worrying they're slowly wasting away.

Why They're Not Eating Quick Guide
