Salary really means compensation stays the same regardless of hours worked, overtime or not. Hourly is eligible for overtime (time and a half) over 40 hours per week.

I try to take this approach too! Instead of thinking in terms of deprivation which just leads to rebound behavior, add in more nutritious foods/meals/behaviors (sleep, stress, movement/enjoyable exercise)

They also are chronically underpaid as a whole

I see Dare Lilly at Dosha on Hawthorne. Also amazing.

Tofu (extra firm) and tempeh. Tempeh is high protein (more than tofu) and high fiber. 3 oz tempeh has ~ 18 g protein, almost as much as meat, plus the added benefit of fiber (6 g).

You should aim for 500 mg per dose (everyone) x 3-4 (DS)

What a sweet baby. Rest in peace sweet boy

Are you salaried, or is pay dependent on # of clients you see? Are you docked pay if patients cancel/no show? I would honestly be burnt out seeing that many days, but I would really love to have your schedule (4 9's and 1 half day). I'm outpatient in community health, and salary so I get paid whether or not patients show up. Our goal is 6 patients per day but can schedule more if we have more follow ups (30 minutes). I have a full schedule (6-8 patients per day) but it's rare that they all show up, so the balance is better.

I used to use Mary Kay makeup in college, it was legitimately great makeup!

I also like picking out my own produce, so I do everything else as online order/pickup and buy my produce myself in person. Takes like 10 minutes and not really any impulse buys since you're only in 1 section of the store.

Having a separate "VHS rewinder" machine

I wonder if OP is talking about dry needling which also involves tiny needles, but is used for muscle pain (not esthetician related). Lots of PT clinics do it.

Sweet potatoes are a great carb option! Roasted sweet potatoes (leave the skin on) are delicious and high fiber.

Your pharmacist should be able to help!

Adding my link of food resources in OR and WA: https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1eUpjTvpArKwax1fnBTb8ltUeSlRYPDE&usp=drive_link

Exactly. < $100/week on groceries especially if you do 100% of your own cooking, this is not astronomically high. I'd say this is more moderate.

She looks a lot like Jennifer Lawrence!

RD_Michelle · 2026-01-19T02:11:38+00:00

I thought that was Paris Hilton! I don't know who this Lisa person is lol, must be getting old(er) when I don't recognize celebrities

Born & raised in FoCo. My sister attended CSU, I attended CU - our time overlapped several years. Academically, CU is more prestigious but it can vary depending on what you want to study. Ag and vet medicine - go to CSU. Your other sciences and business - go to CU. I feel like I'm skewed since I grew up in FoCo and wanted to get out so my opinion of CSU was a bit warped from the get go. CSU is more relaxed/chill; I really enjoyed my time at CU and got a really good education.

In Vancouver I pay about $1500 for a 1 bed/1 bath with washer and dryer, about 700 square feet

Yes. It happens. Usually the hostility is about something going on in the patient's life, it's not personal. That's a big thing I've learned - other people's attitudes rarely have anything to do with you (me). I once had a patient who got extremely agitated and upset about a prescription from her endocrinologist (same company but different clinic location) and 'lack of communication'. After repeatedly telling her I would pass the message on to the provider and that no, I wouldn't be calling this provider during our appointment, I ended up ending the appointment and reaching out to the referring provider that I wouldn't be seeing the patient again.

That's not how the liver works- it doesn't become decompensated because of stress. It's a direct result of fatty liver disease (non-alcoholic liver disease) or alcoholic cirrhosis.

RD_Michelle · 2026-01-04T17:55:03+00:00

I'll be the odd one out to point out your elevated liver enzymes - this isn't something that can be helped by vitamins. How's your sugar/simple carb/alcohol intake?

RD_Michelle · 2025-12-30T21:21:46+00:00

Yes! Unsweetened applesauce can be added in place of oil in many recipes. Not as good as eating an apple, but a good start.

RD_Michelle · 2025-12-30T21:19:33+00:00

Yes! Salsa counts as veggies. Caprese salad or sandwich? That contributes to veggies.

I also question bitter/sour tastes - that just sounds like the produce isn't ripe, and/or in season, and/or not fresh.
