In this episode, we turn the tables as guest host Jeanette Benigas, PhD, interviews Tim on the concept of "functional" swallowing. They explore what truly defines functional swallowing by delving into its core impact on nutrition, hydration, quality of life, and pulmonary health. Together, they reframe our understanding of swallowing function, challenging traditional views and grounding the discussion in clinical outcomes that matter most.Check out Tim's MBSS/VFSS, which is discussed in this episode! https://youtu.be/hVH6G1Wh9ZkGuest Host: Jeanette Benigas, PhD, SLPGuest: Tim Stockdale, SLPD, CCC-SLPThis episode is graciously sponsored by Bracco Diagnostics, maker of VARIBAR® (barium sulfate) - Check them out at VaribarMBS.comEpisode Resources: A randomized study of three interventions for aspiration of thin liquids in patients with dementia or Parkinson's diseaseComparison of 2 interventions for liquid aspiration on pneumonia incidence Fatalities due to choking: Internal occlusion of airwayMalnutrition: Risks & concerns in dysphagia managementManagement of dehydration in patients suffering swallowing difficultiesA survey of speech pathologist practice patterns for consulting registered dieticians when recommending diet alterationsFunctional Swallowing Reel (Instagram) @SwallowPathoSupport the showGap Education:https://swallowthegap.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/swallowpatho
