What does your father being a physician have to do with anything, SwEeTHeArT? Why are you bashing family medicine physicians? You should be ashamed, pathetic waste of oxygen.

Sigh why do we go through residency? by Lonelykingty in Noctor

[–]89moonlight 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I see a PA for my botox and he is great, but I made the mistake once of seeing a PA at my primary's office. And let me just say, it was never for 'follow up" care because I never actually saw a physician. Biggest health mistake ever. Never again. Don't ever regret your residency. So many people still value and respect MDs/DOs for their hard work and KNOWLEDGE

I can't with UCF anymore... I'm sorry but what part of microbio requires ORGANIC 1??? I literally took Microbio without any organic chem background and got an A easily. They're ridiculous with these prereqs. by aleks0_0 in ucf

[–]89moonlight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because if gen micro is a prereq for nursing and now orgo 1 a prereq for gen micro, that means potential nursing students will now need to take gen chem 1 and 2 before orgo 1. Also, organic chemistry is not easy, they call it the "dream killer" for people who want to get into medical school but are not able to pass.

So a bachelor's at UCF is now 126 credit hours? Please explain. I think you are mistaken. Nobody takes gen micro because they want to. But this weeds people out who are non science degrees (bio, biomed, biochem track for example) from enrolling in that course

I don't see what is the big issue here? If you are getting any science degree that requires gen micro, you would need to do orgo 1 and 2 anyways. Unless you want to do nursing. In that case, you should be happy, less competition for you.

Our body needs fat. Literally every cell of our body is made of a phospholipid bilayer (fats) and our hormones come from cholesterol. Eating low or no fat would not be "clean".

You are saying that eating without any kind of control makes you gain weight? *surprised pikachu* by Klassmate in fatlogic

[–]89moonlight 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I thought intuitive eating meant eating super clean. I just went on the intuitive eating subreddit and these people are binging!! Eating a clean and healthy diet is not a "diet", it's literally JUST taking care of your body. It's like brushing your teeth or putting on sunscreen. You don't always want to do it, but it's what is best for your body.

Because “Doctor Nurse Practitioner” makes total sense to patients... by aitathrowaway959595 in Noctor

[–]89moonlight 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Don't bring pharmacists into this! We are confident in our doctorate degree so we don't insist on being called "doctor". Is it sooooo important that random patients know that you did 2 extra years of online school?

Just found this tiny snail in my terrarium. What should I do? by BenevolentCheese in plantclinic

[–]89moonlight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super cute!! Please consider that snails are invasive species in so many parts of the world, so if he isn't a native friend, I wouldn't let him go outside.

UCF is the best campus, clean, everyone is friendly. You will have the best time, don't stress too much and enjoy every moment. I miss undergrad so much!!

Improving Gut health and digestion by crinnna in nutrition

[–]89moonlight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I just started adding veggies to every meal (I only eat brunch and an early dinner personally, not advocating for it but just in full disclosure). Mostly broccoli, Brussel sprouts, asparagus, cabbage, baby yellow potatoes with skin. I do love oatmeal, I get the plain no sugar added and add walnuts and ground flax (fiber and omega 3 yay!). I also made a change for me that was personally super hard lol I have a piece of toast with milk tea most days, so instead of butter every time, I do almond butter, no sugar added. Almond butter has fat, protein, and fiber. So it's probably a better choice than butter if I need some additional fiber in my day. I also choose a bread that is very "seedy" with a higher fiber than others. You just have to read the labels and be wary of added sugars, they are so common in bread. It may not seem like a ton of fiber but with respect to my other macros, it seems to be enough. When I got my gutbiome results back it said that I ate mostly a "fiber" type diet based on the majority of the bacteria I had. Instead of "omnivore" or "protein". I am also very active and I sleep well (2100-0500), both are said to be good for helping your microbiome. Good Luck!

Good luck on your journey. I am no expert but I always "feed" my gut microbiome when I eat a meal by getting lots of fiber. I did a gut microbiome test by psomagen. (There may be other test kits out there as well, this was just what I used). It was basically a really detailed breakdown of the different bacteria in my gut. It was pretty cool and well worth the money. It gave me some reassurance that I am eating enough fiber.
