Sudden Unexplained Weight Loss | Season 1, Episode 30

What should you do if your loved one experiences a sudden unexplained weight loss? Arrange a medical assessment rather than trying to explain it away. If the care team recommends supplementing meals afterward, our guide to protein drinks for older adults distinguishes higher-protein options from higher-calorie shakes so you can discuss the right goal.

While frightening, there may be an explanation that can put your mind at ease.

However, in this week's episode, the fact that Jack's wife is refusing to go to her doctor may be just as alarming as the sudden weight loss.

Tune in for Registered Nurse, Brooke Lounsbury's advice.

Lack of resources to help caregivers prompted her to start a support group for caregivers in her area. Since then Brooke has turned to writing courses for nurses and content writing. In her spare time, she enjoys time with family, her dog and travel.
