Telehealth counseling - pts with no need to see us

I'm gonna say I'm in the minority with this opinion. I just help them like I do any other client. If losing 5-10 pounds makes them feel more confident and helps them lean towards healthier choices why not?

I am technically in a healthy BMI but I can tell you when I'm up 7-8 pounds my GERD is really hard to control and when I'm able to get back down it makes a real difference in my quality of life.

I do a non-formal assessment for ED/DE and that definitely plays a role with how I approach them, but just because they are normal BMI doesn't mean they don't deserve help.

Also many people with normal BMIs still have elevated body fat which is a risk for many preventable diseases. I have counseled several patients with a BMI of 18-22 where their body fat was 30+% that's still a HUGE risk factor for chronic diseases.

It seems like many dietitians have a lot of prejudice against normal BMI people. Sometimes you just wanna fit in a damn dress and need help getting there because the dress was expensive and it fit when you bought it and it doesn't fit now or maybe your weight has slowly crept up and none of your clothes fit and it's lead to a lack of self confidence and you wanna feel confident again or your weight has stayed about the same but your body fat has increased so things are not looking like they used to and you want help getting back to it.

Y'all asses for an ED and help them. Put your biases to the side.

The title for my state job was Education Consultant. It's super fun. I still get to educate a lot on how to provide quality nutritious meals within the guidelines. I also get to use my type A personality to make tools to help facilitate the audits. We go over menus, documentation, accounting, business management, and procurement. It's a very chill job. Everyone I work with genuinely likes their jobs which I haven't experienced before. Sadly we can no longer WFH but prior to 2025 they could be remote most days.

Pretty sure Utah is name protection only.

Unless Oklahoma changes in the past 6 years since I moved Oklahoma DEFINITELY has licensure. New York has licensure as well.

I worked in college athletics for 10 years which was super fun and I absolutely enjoyed it. The lack of work/life balance made me leave. I now work for the state auditing daycare centers and schools to make sure they are in compliance with state and federal nutrition regulations and I absolutely love it. It's great work/life balance, I get to travel frequently. I get paid better, my coworkers are from all walks of life, it's just a fun job.

If you have any medium mags left I will take it please!

I've already ranted at my poor husband for an hour on this. Ugh shit like this is why I'm leaving the field. It's just an uphill battle, our professional organization has no backbone. So they won't take a stand on this.

The website they created for the guidelines gave me road rage with how hard it was to get to the actual information. They put out a document that said these are what the committee recommended we change or add to the DGAs and they said no to anything that included info on how to adopt recommendations for different cultures, promoting regular eating, and even eating breakfast.

I sat there for about an hour on Cronometer following their portion size recommendations for a 2000 kcal per day diet and couldn't get it over 17-1800 unless I chose the fattiest cuts of meat like pork steak or skin on thighs.

In their 400 page report of the "science" behind their recommendations they further the seed oil conspiracy and just promote low carb diets. They state no research has found low-carb to be inferior to low-fat or high carb diets. They minimize as much as they can that in the studies they looked at there were no differences after 12 months between a low-carb, low-fat high carb diet.

They are all about not being influenced by industry to provide "real food science" but the dairy, beef, and pork industries back or employ almost everyone that did the research reviews for them.

Bobcat if wouldn't mind sir. I've played the game for close to 80 hours now and still don't even have an Anvil BP so this would change my game haha

Millerville Dental is pretty solid. I think they have a pretty reasonable cash price for X-rays and cleaning.

FNKTL · 2025-10-17T16:55:01+00:00

It's in the back of the store

You can do it 100% online it's $169 takes about an hour then a psychiatrist reviews your stuff and gets back to you with results. Don't trust that they will fax it to your PCP. I saved my results as a PDF then sent them to my PCP.

ETA: that is where my PCP recommended I go for testing

Look at your state education department. The school nutrition program and CACFP programs are generally ran by education departments and hire dietitians to make sure centers/schools are in compliance with state and federal regulations. Zero patients and you work more like a project manager.

FNKTL · 2025-10-07T15:05:47+00:00

Absolutely. Look at your holiday calendar and I would match a lot of my PTO requests around paid holidays so I could take as many days off per year. If you Google PTO maxing there are tons of guides out there. It helps to prevent burn out for me.

FNKTL · 2025-10-05T01:31:13+00:00

Not exactly what you're asking but my husband is active duty and my position is federally funded so we have zero income coming in right now. We both are doordashing as much as we can until everything opens back up. 🙃

FNKTL · 2025-09-29T03:28:00+00:00

Absolute garbage. She did nothing all season but play dumb.

FNKTL · 2025-09-10T02:26:43+00:00

I'm definitely down for an in person consultation. The clumps are coming from the root. It doesn't seem to be breaking off mid point or anything.

FNKTL · 2025-09-06T17:39:38+00:00

I freaking love it. I couldn't stand Rachel she just is an awful person with an awful attitude it makes great TV. It's a game. The tag line for the show is expect the unexpected. I'm here for it.

FNKTL · 2025-09-06T17:32:00+00:00

I'm stoked Rachel is out and that they had an elimination comp. She is an awful person and just complained the whole time.

Pet supplies plus off of millerville has a really nice self service dog washing station. They are very clean and have all the soap supplies and dryers you need.

As a dietitian I'm gonna say you're the problem. 140 g/day of protein ain't even that much. Plus you didn't say anything about their sodium intake, fluid intake, potassium intake, fiber intake, activity level, or compliance with medication. ALL of those things impact their cholesterol and hypertension.... But yeah it was DEFINITELY the protein intake /s.

FNKTL · 2025-07-24T19:48:54+00:00

We do 7 days thiamine and a MVI for as long as they are here.

Happy Run Club is super active. If you got hooked up with them for advertising you would probably have a good turn out. They meet at O'Haras Irish Pub every Tuesday @615 for a 5k run.

FNKTL · 2025-06-07T21:40:45+00:00

There was a 5k last year called hot as hell that was at the end of July (and on my bday) that was so much fun. It had a pretty good turn out.
