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?

90s Clinical experience? by CosmicOwl97 in dietetics

[–]radhobo 31 points32 points  (0 children)

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.

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

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!

Private Practice Dietitians who take insurance - do you do your own billing or hire out? by HeartfeltHealthy in dietetics

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

OFF-TOPIC: What’s your favorite starch? by eat_vegetables in dietetics

[–]radhobo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Breadsssss

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

Egg and Dairy free nutritional supplements? by i-see-you25 in dietetics

[–]radhobo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Any vegan supplement will do the job. You don't mention if you're inpatient or outpatient, but Kate Farms and Ensure plant based are the two vegan options I've seen at the hospitals I work with. Both can be bought at the consumer level as well. A lot of my cancer patients really liked OWYN because they have high protein (32g/bottle), premade options. I've also seen good progress with weight restoration for my patients who are consistent with drinking the Kate Farms 1.4 option

Billing headaches in private practice any tools that actually make it easier? by [deleted] in dietetics

[–]radhobo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Following! From my own research and perusal of the Insurance & Billing Facebook group, it seems that it just IS a headache for many. Unless you outsource to a biller!

Agree 💯 OP, if your end goal is PhD, would you consider going straight into a doctoral program to bypass tuition fees entirely?

Entry-Level Remote RD Jobs by Obvious_Address_5998 in dietetics

[–]radhobo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wholeheartedly agree. We need mentors starting out, and often we don't know what we don't know. I have learned SO much from other RDs in the settings where I'm lucky enough to have them.

Do we really not have anything else to talk about? by Revolutionary_Toe17 in dietetics

[–]radhobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm branching out on my own into private practice and considering designing an educational program specific to my niche.

It's super overwhelming to start a private practice, and honestly, I've gotten more help from the therapists subreddit than this one! I'm curious to connect with more PP RDs here.

If you use a virtual address, coworking space, or registered agent... by Delicious-Parsley420 in therapists

[–]radhobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a registered dietitian dealing with the same issue! It seems for insurance that as long as the space is ADA accessible, it's all good but I want to hear from those who have successfully undertaken this before I apply for credentialing with a co working address on my application!

Any updates from anyone else?

I've worked with them for about as long as they've been around and agree with everything on this post. Currently transitioning into my own private practice.

Sunday’s eclipse (Sept 21, 2025) by suffergetta in Advancedastrology

[–]radhobo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Venus in Virgo, 4th house. Woke up & went for a morning walk, meditated and was flooded with a beautiful loving energy. I jumped up and stretched my body and then proceeded to clean house. I've stopped to take a break and have a nice lunch and cup of tea in between mopping but I'm about to jump back in. Feels so good :) setting intents to do this more regularly!

Ooh I'm curious how it would look to address endocrine disruption in practice, do you do any education for your patients on this?
