I really connect with this! I'm planning to be a physician assistant, so I feel the same way about making nutrition part of everyday care. Creating a nonjudgmental space so patients can be honest about their eating habits feels just as important as any other medical advice we give. #beh353 @beh353

I agree! With how much misinformation there is on social media, looking for registered dietitians, peer-reviewed research, or organizations is such an important step. It really changes how I judge nutrition content. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

I like that you picked something visual so kids can learn too! The Kid’s Healthy Eating Plate makes it easy for both kids and parents to actually see what a balanced meal looks like, instead of just reading guidelines. The concrete examples seem super realistic for busy families. #beh353 @beh353

I agree! His dependable lunch choice shows consistency. His salad became an anchor and made it harder for Tom to drift from his diet. It also reduced his drinking, encouraged movement, and reduced his unhealthy eating. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

I totally agree, shame is not the same as accountability. Weight stigma creates worse outcomes, while support and consent improve engagement. And as providers, we need to screen barriers like transportation, cost, pain, and food access instead of jumping to conclusions. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

I never thought to take magnesium to relieve anxiety! I'm glad it's helping you. There is a lot of evidence that magnesium intake supports bone and nerve function, so you're benefiting in multiple ways! #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

This article was a good choice! It was interesting to read how weight change isn't a goal, but eating nutritious food is. It allows patients to not feel judged and gives them a place to start changing their diets. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social
