Redefining Nourishment: A TEDx Talk by Lina
Tube feeding is often misunderstood, seen as clinical, tragic, or invisible.
In this talk, I invite you to rethink what it means to nourish, to care, and to connect. Drawing from my work as a dietitian and researcher in home enteral nutrition, I share stories, insights, and provocations that challenge stigma and celebrate dignity.
Whether you're a clinician, caregiver, or curious soul, this talk is for anyone who believes nourishment is more than nutrients, it's a human right.
