That’s such an important perspective. Nutrition plays a huge role in oral health, and having providers who look beyond the surface makes a real difference. Your patients will benefit so much from someone who considers their whole well-being, not just their teeth.

That sounds amazing! I love how you blend traditional Thanksgiving dishes with your Brazilian favorites make the holiday even more meaningful. I also bring my culture to the table by making Korean dishes like galbi-jjim or japchae. Sharing food really connects traditions.

I read the article and found it really useful! I liked how it gives simple, age-specific tips—like how much fruit and vegetables young kids need and ways to introduce new foods with clear categories. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

I really like how you framed this! His story showed that good enough and consistent can be a better way than perfect for a week in a longterm. I think that mindset can also reduce guilt and help people feel safer making gradual changes.

Great point! Fat shaming and encouraging accountability are definitely not the same. Access to healthcare strongly affects how people manage their health. As future providers, it’s important to guide patients with empathy and realistic support rather than judgment.

I totally relate! Balancing classes and other responsibilities makes it hard to find time to cook or shop for healthy meals. I also notice that healthy ingredients can be pricey, so I often end up choosing cheaper and quicker options even when I want to eat better.

I totally agree! Gummies are convenient, but many people overlook the added sugars and vague claims. It’s a great reminder to read labels carefully and understand what we’re actually taking—especially with supplements marketed as 'healthy'.

This article on dietary fiber is such a strong resource. It explains the two types of fiber, daily needs, and practical tips clearly, all backed by Mayo Clinic. I think it’s a trustworthy guide we could share with patients to support long-term healthy habits.
