Welcome to Dishing Up Nutrition, brought to you by nutritional weight and wellness.

Today, our show is all about UTIs or urinary tract infections.

What are UTIs?

How common are they?

And probably most importantly for this show, what are some preventative measures that we can take to prevent

these UTIs? And this will include the foods that we eat and the supplements that we take.

So I am Leah Kleintrote. I'm a registered and licensed dietitian and I have been seeing clients

at nutritional weight and wellness for over five years now.

And at NWW, one of my favorite things is that clients make appointments for a whole

host of reasons besides just weight loss and eating better.

I'm just thinking about a couple clients I've seen recently.

I know I've had some digestion clients, ulcerative colitis, a client with back pain, doing

an eating plan for someone who had seizures, and even recently a teenage girl who was late

and actually starting her period.

So we get a whole host of things, don't we,

Teresa? We sure do. Yeah. And we also have clients who make appointments because they want to

avoid another UTI. Or maybe it's because they are yet on another round of antibiotics for a UTI.

And when I've met with these clients,

oftentimes what will happen is they get the infection,

they take the antibiotics to clear the infection,

and then they'll end up with a yeast infection

after the antibiotics.
