Caring for the Caregiver
Nutritionist Kelly Barnhill discusses the importance of self-care for adult caregivers, focusing on reasonable dietary and lifestyle choices and appropriate basic nutritional supplementation. Barnhill touches on all of the current dietary trends, what to believe, what is based in evidence and research, and how to make choices for yourself and your family amid all the noise. This talk reviews the key components to success with the above strategies by focusing on two major components that wear us down – poor sleep habits and poor nutrition. The speaker reviews sleep hygiene and natural sleep support options, healthy dietary intake for all, and nutritional supplements to consider for acute support when needed.
