Robin Tucker PhD, RD, FAND

Sleep and its Impact on Chronic Conditions

Dr. Robin Tucker is an associate professor of Food Science and Human Nutrition at Michigan State University. She studies the effects of sleep problems on diet-related chronic disease management. Dr. Tucker’s professional interests include developing the healthcare work force to identify and address behavior-based sleep issues to improve healthcare outcomes for patients and clients. In this session, we will identify at least two ways that insufficient or poor sleep can contribute to chronic disease risk, discuss at least two causes of sleep problems, and summarize at least two approaches that healthcare providers can share with patients and clients that have been shown to reduce sleep issues. Upon completion of this activity, learners will have increased knowledge about the effects of sleep problems on chronic disease risk and management and be able to state examples of sleep hygiene best practices.

Motivational Interviewing Skills to Reduce Bias in Chronic Conditions

In these conference sessions, Dr. Tillman will not only redefine the current state of motivational interviewing theory and practice but will also lead an interactive workshop session for conference attendees to hone their motivational interviewing skills. Attendees will actively try out new approaches and leave the conference with actionable skills and improved confidence.
