If you were wondering about the health of your poo... please check out this Bristol chart created by @JessicaOlah at #Verywell.

If you were wondering, I would say I talk about bowel movements with other people on a daily basis. Unless you are in the medical field... having that conversation with other people that frequently may indicate the need to talk to a professional (e.g. a gastroenterologist) so that the fruits of the talk will get things moving in the right direction...(I couldn't help that one).
Well, just another insight inside the daily skills we dietitians. Dietitians - helping people where they are and where we "can".

I Want to Be Thin!

I think this article was nicely written and promotes awareness of "weight shaming" a prevalent factor in the science of clinical obesity weight management.

Time to act on obesity: why is it so difficult to lose weight?

This video does a good job of "SUMMARIZING" the obesity disease and what is going on in my brain while I am clinically helping people manage its complexity.

While watching the video, please consider adopting my philosophy in Masters In Dietetics, LLC since its foundation in 2007.
**** If a patient has a BMI of 30.0 or more patient is living with obesity. **** They are not an "obese" person.*****

Do you want to know the logical foundation (or perhaps my practitioner's world-view) supporting this philosophy?
1) There are ONLY two types of people. You guessed it, a Male person and Female Person.
2) When dealing with cancer do we say that the person is a "cancer" person? Of course not!

I advocate and promote the whole person and diversity in my Functional and Integrative Dietetics clinic by working with people and allowing them to be unique.

Hi All!
Attached to this message are the Lunch Meal Patterns for School Lunch for 2020-2021. Check out the sodium modifications. These will change to more aggressive sodium levels in 2024-2025. I have two "F" words for these improvements: "Finally" and "Fantastic"
I have always been a fan of school lunch because I was one of the partakers of the Texas School Lunch program from age of pre-K to 12th grade. Also, it is no additional charge to accommodate for metabolic conditions and Cultural Food (eg. Kosher) needs of the student.

Medicare & Coronavirus

The offices of Masters In Dietetics, LLC chose to continue following the Stay Home Work Safe advice presented by the City of Houston in March. Even though the experience is more fulfilling in person and in the office, we have found our methods of implementing Medical Nutrition Therapy interventions via telenutrition yielding impeccable results. Our patients are improving their blood glucose levels, understanding complex nutrition training topics, and are losing or maintaining a healthy weight. We encourage people to stay active, safe, and visit medical practitioners on a priority basis (e.g. yearly check-ups, well-women's exams.)
Please reach out to our Dietitian if you need help with navigating through the Medicare recommendations shared in this link. #NoMoreDiets #Learn2Eat

The Hypothalamus, Pituitary and Pineal Glands

This is a great overview of the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland. Many of my patients and I discuss the relationship to these systems relative to their close proximity to each other in the body. The relevant factor is their function in hunger, thirst, and satiety and s*x hormone regulation. Any damage to these systems (which get absolutely no media attention) may warrant dysfunction in any of the aforementioned stimuli. Let me know your thoughts. #NoMoreDiets

Three glands of critical importance to the body, the hypothalamus, pituitary and pineal glands, are all located in the brain.

Eating nuts may reduce cardiovascular disease risk for people with diabetes

Isn't this a joy? Almonds, walnuts, sunfowerseeds are foods high in protien, fats and heart healthy deliciousness. Which of these 3 properties do you think help with cardiovascular wellness?
If you know the answer please share it below :-) question.

Hi all. I have some updates for us to be excited about...

You may know we have been talking about expanding our services into Southwest Houston. The talk is now a reality. I have just signed the contract. In the next few weeks our expansion site will be up and running with office hours on every Wednesday from 9am to 5pm. Our lobby and door signs are being prepared now along with new paint and carpet projected to be installed by next Friday :-). You will see our outdoor sign within the next few months. We are debating on whether to name our service, "Nutrition Education" on the outdooor sign in order to highlight our mission for reaching out to the area. Buy the way we signed a 3 year lease which was the max we were offered :-) so, we are staying put for a while. We are in it to win it.

Our neighbors in the expansion site include the office of VA, the office of the Inspector Generald of the State Texas, The Houston Public library, a home health facility, and a physical therapy center.
Next...
Our homeoffice (Nutrition Headquarters) the Woodlands is due for a lease renewal. After much discussion, we are leaning towards settling into a new location. Well, building plans up and we are happy to inform you that we are in the process of acquiring the new facility by May2019. :-)
Our neighbors will include a private pilates studio, chiropractor and personal training facility which I believe will provide convenience to our patients and room for collaboration.

We are in the process of updating our new addresses with each of your major insurance companies to ensure a smooth transition in patient care and coverage of your medical nutrition therapy sessions.

Message me, Tabitha, :-) if you have insights you would like to share and if would like to help with the process. We thank you for all of you support over the past 12 years in practice would look forward to many more years together.
