Nutrition without sickle doesn't work.
What if the key to managing sickle cell disease lies in our diet? In this episode of UK Health Radio's Acupuncture Point, Kevin Durjun sits down with Claudine Matthews, a passionate dietitian dedicated to reshaping the nutritional care for those living with sickle cell disease. For the past eight years, Claudine has been on a mission to ensure that nutrition becomes an integral part of the care plan for sickle cell patients, who are often marginalized in healthcare discussions.
Claudine shares her groundbreaking research that underscores the vital role of nutrition in managing sickle cell disease. Despite its importance, nutritional guidance is frequently overlooked in standard care practices. Claudine argues that without proper nutrition, managing sickle cell effectively is nearly impossible. She calls for a significant shift in policy and practice to recognize and address the unique needs of these patients.

Claudine's insights are not just informative but also a call to action for anyone involved in healthcare or affected by sickle cell disease. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in how targeted nutritional strategies can make a real difference in the lives of those battling chronic illnesses.
