Just last month Consultant Registered Dietitian Paige Yoder joined Kendal but she already has a good lay of the land, so to speak.
“I am so impressed with the residents’ interest in healthy eating. They’re very educated and willing to listen and learn,” she says, adding. “I tell people this is how it should be.”
Paige is on the Kendal campus every Monday and is available for free one-on-one meetings with residents and food-related groups, like the Plant Forward Group she recently met with. “One of their major concerns is that the Kendal meal nutritional information is correct and accurate,” she says.
She’s also planning a series of “Lunch & Learn” gatherings that will focus on issues of interest to residents, such as the Mediterranean Diet.
Preventative health, one of Paige’s passions, is likely to show up as a lunch topic too. “I really think food is medicine and can prevent many diseases, like diabetes,” she says.
Other topics of interest include healthy heart diets, the importance of eating whole grains and fiber and fueling the body to fight off colds.
Paige will be the featured speaker this month at Kendal’s Health Forum so she can help spread the word about her services.
She is employed by Dietary Solutions and lives in Cuyahoga Falls with her dog Poppy. “I cook all the time. I follow a balanced diet and as avid runner always try to have protein in my dinners,” the 26-year-old dietitian says.
