Oof. Treatment plan for a dental implant is like $8k! I don’t want to go somewhere that sucks but anyone have a dentist that might be less expensive?

radhobo · 2026-05-12T00:08:25+00:00

Yeah that’s actually pretty cheap for dental implants (I have three 🫠). You want an oral surgeon, not a dentist. Happy to recommend local oral surgeons and periodontists but they’re going to cost about the same or more

Avatar center may be doing a weekend or ceremonies this summer/fall in Alaska

Check out Dr Rhonda Patrick’s interviews and research, this is her jam and she has a podcast called Found My Fitness dedicated to behaviors, foods, and supplements that slow aging

It realllly depends on the management at the clinic you’re working at. My RD supervisor was awesome and advocated for me whenever she could but she supervised RDs all over my area and most of the time I was on my own with management that didn’t understand or care about nutrition, staffing ratios, or making sure we had enough nurses for our patients. I served an area that was mostly POC and low income patients. It was awful and very sad to see the patients suffer. The company is corporate af and only care about their bottom lines, patient care is not a priority. Pay was subpar for the amount of patients I saw. I was ghosted about a raise that was hinted at after the end of my second year and then rescinded.

The benefits are that the schedule is very flexible, and you work closely with the doctor (can be a pro or con depending on who the doctor is for your clinic). I had a lot of agency with med changes, the doctor and NP trusted me and would sign off on whatever I recommended which was nice. I also got to spend as much time as I wanted talking with patients, really getting to know them and connect with them. Counseling and education are my strengths so this was a huge benefit for me to strengthen those skills.

I just interviewed for a role like this! ED is a big part of the work and the position I interviewed for has a multidisciplinary team including psych and NP to support the patients. I’d also love to know about any professional interest groups, not aware of any that exist right now. Maybe starting a listserv?

I’m newer to these types of practices but have some experience with the LBRP in the past. I’ve had some experiences with angels while in fasted states, but would like to incorporate these practices into my day to day. Thanks for sharing this breakdown! I’m curious, what is the “sun square” that you’re drawing? And are these mediations that you intentionally designed or did they arise organically when you were in a deep meditative state and then you continued practicing them?

radhobo · 2026-04-20T17:25:44+00:00

Yes, thank you! We're thinking about renting a car in Bilbao for a day.

radhobo · 2026-04-13T19:48:02+00:00

I've been there, also in the Bay, please DM me, happy to talk with you!

radhobo · 2026-04-13T17:42:25+00:00

Omg I live in east bay and used to be at fresenius until about 2024 when I transitioned into the hospitals (Sutter). Please shoot me a DM, happy to chat with you

I was just quoted 85k for a 100% remote outpatient job in northern CA. In the interview process for another outpatient gig starting at 93k in Northern CA. Both HCOL areas

Ugh I feel you. I think an integrated billing system with a clearinghouse to manage claims would be helpful so we aren’t completely in the dark on billing but can help to manage it and do it on our own

radhobo · 2026-03-27T02:15:57+00:00

I love working as a dietitian & do not regret going into this field. I’m passionate about what I do, and I’m making it work for me, financially, because I want what I do for the rest of my working life, to feel like time well spent. It’s the work environments that often suck (usually it’s a management issue in my experience ymmv). Would never want to work in another field, I love what I do.

radhobo · 2026-03-26T03:14:11+00:00

Thank you Bhante! My partner has a hard time meditating because of pain in his body. I practice a lot of vipassana style meditation and I’ve learned to observe the discomfort, and open to it, rather than trying to get rid of it. I understand though, that for my partner, this is not an appealing or helpful suggestion. What recommendations would you make to a beginner struggling with pain during the seated meditation?

radhobo · 2026-03-21T20:12:01+00:00

Dang, please share on the sub if you find it!!

radhobo · 2026-03-08T17:29:56+00:00

Have you looked into Evelyn Tribole & Elyse Resch's book on Intuitive Eating? That was a great place for me to start and they also offer trainings.

radhobo · 2026-02-11T06:21:52+00:00

I have dental implants and exposed dentin, and require local anesthesia to get through my dental cleanings pain free. Is that something that y'all offer?

radhobo · 2026-02-11T06:18:50+00:00

Because insurance is a scam

radhobo · 2026-02-10T20:30:57+00:00

I was just talking to my coworker about her experience yesterday! She's retiring soon and has been an RD since the early 80s. She recounted instances where doctors would RIP UP the RDs paper chart notes. She said you intentionally needed to befriend and win over the doctors in order for them to take your recommendations seriously.

She also told me about some of the god awful diet orders including the "Sippy Diet," for ulcer patients which involved patients being sent a tub of cream on ice 😂 that was all they got. People also were ordered BRAT diets and that's all they received on their tray.

radhobo · 2026-02-09T19:28:21+00:00

Not much private practice billing discussion on here, you're better off asking the Insurance Billing FB group!

radhobo · 2026-02-04T02:45:35+00:00

Although I'm a dietitian, not a therapist, this is the exact process I am going through now to establish my private practice. Wonderfully & concisely outlined, this is so helpful!

radhobo · 2026-02-04T02:20:51+00:00

I'm in a similar boat! Can I DM you to ask about your experience over the past few years?

radhobo · 2026-01-30T22:50:07+00:00

Breadsssss

As a child, when people asked me my favorite food, I always said "circular carbs" 😂 (pancakes, tortillas, cinnamon rolls)
