PROGRAM DETAILS:

On location at The Children's Hospital in Aurora, Colorado, Patient Power host, Andrew Schorr, sat down with leading dietitian Laurie Bernstein, Director of Inherited Metabolic Disease Nutrition. Laurie is dedicated, along with other prominent colleagues, to helping people with PKU follow "A Diet for Life" that is healthy, safe, and, most important, palatable. She founded the event “Network PKU” that brings patients and their families together to discover delicious ways to prepare foods naturally low in protein, connect with each other, and even compete in their own “Iron Chef” competition creating low-protein, PKU-friendly recipes with the secret ingredient.

During the interview, Laurie explains the latest activities of Network PKU. She describes surprising new recipes for people with PKU that are tasty and fun, and proves that, even for those who need to follow an extremely low protein diet, food can be enjoyable. You can view recipes from the event, here.

Andrew and Laurie discuss how important it is to connect with experts for access to all the latest information and keeping up with what’s new in the realm of PKU management and diet. Laurie provides listeners with strategies to ensure that if you are currently off diet you can return and be successful. If you are on diet, she helps to find new and tasty ways to support a healthy lifestyle for you or your child. If you are interested in learning more about improving your PKU diet, listen to this information-packed program.
