#sportsdietitianintuition - fueled not fooled - being fit is more than the steps you take and the weights you lift- it is the hand to mouth exercise and staying away from the grift! #activeadvice #fuelsofengagement

While specific products are not prohibited in sport, dietary ingredients are. Colostrum being a source of IGF-1 makes it a banned ingredient. Just because a dietary supplement is popular, does not mean it does not include banned ingredients. Use AXIS for supplement reviews.

Foods that are frozen, boxed, in a bag or can -an essential part of a cost saving plan. Bring the thrift to the plate with pasta, rice, potatoes,

Great insights abt how RDs (esp. sports dietitians) can work w/ data from a wearable device like CGMs, HR monitors, etc. We can be the interpreter to help clients understand & incorporate the info in a meaningful way.
Thx @RobertaAnding & @lesliebonci

Greatly appreciate @EPotterMD for her healthcare advocacy. This kind of retaliation from insurance companies is sickening. They know our system is built on private insurance and wield that power accordingly.
It also puts physicians in a tough spot. Do you say, “to hell with insurance” and go cash pay? That is certainly possible for some areas of medicine, but it will inevitably leave some patients out who can’t afford it, especially when you’re talking about cancer care and surgery. Going cash pay used to be a lifestyle choice for the physician, now it’s turning into the only way some private practices can survive.
The bottom line is insurance corporations have way too much power in our system. They should not be able to limit patient access to healthcare and threaten private practices through contract weaponization.
I’ve been keeping something from you.
The way I cope with hard things is by doing the work and putting the pain in a box. But the truth is—since I spoke out against insurance companies, things have been really hard.
My practice is struggling. I built a surgery center so I could take better care of my patients, expecting to do my cases through insurance. But several insurance companies have refused to contract with me since I posted that video. The strain has been so heavy, I’m not sure I can keep the practice open in its current form.
I’m sharing this because no insurance company should have the power to shut down a practice, especially one built to help people.
All I want is to take care of my patients. All I want is to do the right thing. I’ve invested all of my time, money, and heart into this.
And it’s dangerous—truly dangerous—that one or two insurance companies can make decisions that threaten the future of a practice like mine.
I’m hoping that I can figure something out for the practice, but I just wanted to be honest with you guys because this is part of the reality of being a doctor.
This isn’t the first time I’ve been here.
COVID almost knocked me out.
The Change.org hack, when I wasn’t paid for three months, was another blow.
And now this—being punished for telling the truth.
But I won’t be knocked out.
I’m committed to telling the truth about healthcare, about insurance, and working to find a better way to continue to keep my practice open and taking care of women with breast cancer so I don’t lost my practice or my home.
I promise I’ll keep you updated.

Health privilege is when your biggest health worry is whether your almond milk is organic…
Meanwhile, someone else is choosing between picking up their meds or buying groceries this week.
It’s being able to obsess over “clean ingredients” while others are just trying to get ANY food on the table.
It’s skipping a GLP-1 because “it’s not natural” while someone else is praying their insurance will cover it so they can finally walk without pain.
Let’s be real: health privilege shows up in what you have the luxury to worry about and what others simply can’t.
We need to stop pretending that everyone’s starting line is the same. Because it’s not. And if we want to have real conversations about health, we have to start by acknowledging that.

Let’s take a second to understand the scale of the bureaucratic costs of US health care…
If we gave every physician a 10 % raise but cut admin costs by 10%, we would save 100+billion annually
If we gave every physician and nurse a 10% raise and cut the admin costs by 10%, we would still save 60-70 billion annually
Our admin costs(per capita) is 2-3 times any other country

If you’re considering squirting coffee up your bum can I suggest you don’t.
Instead put it in a cup and enjoy it with a wafer thin mint.

Did you know the non-GMO project is an anti-science activist group? Your donations benefit people who lie & erode science literacy & critical thinking.
They sell their fraudulent label to ANY COMPANY to slap on products that don’t even have GENES - like salt - all to make money.
Did you know the #nongmoproject is a #nonprofit? Your donations make a huge impact for organizations like ours. Whether it's $5 or $500, every dollar donated is vital in helping us preserve and expand the non-GMO food supply. 🦋🌽 nongmoproject.org/donate
