Nutritional Needs of People with CF — Emily Yelencich, MS, RD (Audio)

This podcast was recorded at CFRI's Cystic Fibrosis Adult Retreat in April, 2026. The nutritional needs of people with cystic fibrosis differ from those of the general population. Even across people with CF, nutrition is highly personal, with multiple variables impacting an individual's regimen. In this podcast, Emily Yelencich, MS, RD—dietician at Stanford's adult CF center—discusses the caloric intakes, protein needs, lipid considerations, and hydration goals of people with CF, ranging from those who are undernourished to those who are well-nourished or over-nourished.
