[00:00:00]This is a massive update for anyone preparing for the USMLE step one, step two or step three. Here are six nutrition topics you will be tested on for USMLE starting June 2026. The first one is malnutrition evaluation. So this is identifying protein energy malnutrition, recognizing quashiker or marasmas and managing refeeding syndrome. The second is micronutrient deficiencies, things like B12 in vegans and ilial disease, thamine in alcoholics and beriatric patients and vitamin D deficiency. The third is chronic disease diets. So this is the DASH diet for hypertension, renal diets for CKD and protein management in cerosis. The fourth is life cycle nutrition. This means folate and RNA in pregnancy, breastfeeding recommendations and sarcopenia which is muscle loss in older adults. The fifth is drug nutrient interactions for example warfin with vitamin K, ma inhibitors with tyramin rich foods and levothyroxine timing with calcium and iron. And the sixth is public health counseling. So this is counseling your patients on Meditarian diet and limiting ultra processed foods.
