  • Reflective listening: Hearing and naming both sides of short-chain fatty acids ambivalence
  • Decisional balance: Exploring pros and cons of changing vs. staying the same with short-chain fatty acids
  • Evoking change talk: Drawing out the person's own reasons for addressing short-chain fatty acids
  • Affirming strengths: Highlighting past capacities relevant to short-chain fatty acids recovery
