Patricia Poulsen Bio

I am a holistic driven, registered dietitian/ nutritionist, born and raised in Halifax, Nova Scotia. I completed a Bachelor of Arts degree from Carleton University in Ottawa and a Bachelors of Science in Applied Human Nutrition at Mount Saint Vincent University. I have worked in a variety of settings including hospitals, media, and food industry. For the past ten years, I have been a dedicated employee at Capital Health District Authority where I worked
 with people suffering from digestive disorders, metabolic syndrome, and ENT (head and neck) cancers, (where I developed a specialty in swallowing difficulties and the associated nutritional implications of chemo-radiation treatments).

If you are looking for local services or  treatment  in the office or hospital from a Nutritionist HCF, contact a provider such as ( Patricia Poulsen ) to inquire if they are accepting patients or you need a referral.  

The speaker in the video may have no association with ( Patricia Poulsen, Nutritionist HCF Bedford, NS ). 
( Patricia Poulsen, Nutritionist HCF Bedford, NS ), may talk about some of the conditions and some of the treatment options shown on the videos. Always talk with your health care practitioner about the information you learnt from the videos in regards to treatments and procedures the healthcare practitioner could  perform and if they would be appropriate for you. Remember good information is the corner stone to understanding your condition or disease.

A local nutritionist can help you create heart-healthy meals rich in fruits and vegetables; whole grains and plant sterols; increase energy levels with sports nutrition and educate you about potential food and medication interactions.

Quiz: Do You Understand The Truth About Fast Food?

Questions
 
True
False
1

Saturated fats mainly come from animal products.

Explanation:

Saturated fats mainly come from animal products, such as meat and dairy. Many fast foods are high in saturated and trans fats. Trans fats make food crunchy, but are not healthy for your heart.

2

Eating too much fast food may affect your mental health.

Explanation:

Several studies have found that people who ate diets high in foods such as processed meat, fried food and refined cereals were more likely to experience depression. Those who ate a healthy diet rich in vegetables, fruits and fish experienced fewer symptoms of depression.

3

Silicon dioxide can be found in some fast foods.

Explanation:

Other preservatives you might find in your fast food include silicon dioxide, glycerin, propylene glycol and high fructose corn syrup.

4

If you eat junk food but work out, the exercise cancels out any negative health effects.

Explanation:

If you eat junk foods that are high in empty calories, fat or sugar, it can affect your exercise performance. You may have less energy and a slower metabolism, which can lead to weight gain.

5

Grilled meat is no healthier than fried meat at a fast food restaurant.

Explanation:

Many fast food restaurants offer side dishes that can be healthier, such as baked potatoes, yogurt and salad. If the restaurant offers a grilled meat option, choose that over fried meat.

    I decided to quit after a few sessions. I was getting confusing instructions and I just didn't feel confident working with this person. I feel like I was a subject of testing of some sort.
