They explore:
🧠 How bone mineral disorder develops and why it matters
🥛 The interplay of phosphorus, calcium, and vitamin D in patient outcomes
💊 Strategies for phosphorus control and binder adherence
🍗 Balancing protein needs with mineral management
❤️ Practical education approaches for patients with multiple comorbidities

This conversation highlights how nutrition professionals can make a meaningful difference in patient outcomes through evidence-based, individualized care.
