Episode 37 - Eating and drinking

In this powerful episode, host Domonique is joined by Lorraine Redmond, who lives with MND, Emma Wood, a clinical lead dietitian, and Jonathan Phang, a cook and MND Association ambassador. Together, they explore the emotional and practical challenges of eating and drinking with motor neurone disease. The conversation is rich with practical tips - from modifying food textures and using feeding tubes flexibly, to managing social anxiety around eating in public. It’s also a reminder that food is more than fuel - it’s love, culture and togetherness. For more information about eating, drinking and swallowing with MND, see our guide, Eating and drinking with motor neurone disease (MND). You can request a free printed copy from our helpline MND Connect.
