Epic downtime feels very Little House on the Prairie codes, like i feel like this is how they would do dietetics on the plains

taking those away would be so detrimental to so many strides made in queer healthcare since the 80s and 90s

sexual health clinics don’t just screen for STIs and hand out Prep and Doxy, they also manage medications for patients living with HIV and connect patients to resources for gender affirming healthcare including mental health, they also collect data to understand these communities needs better

i could always go to my PCP and it would be more expensive but my Prep could be managed, but for so many queer people defunding and devaluing these programs could be disastrous

increasingly concerned that critical healthcare not only myself but also thousands of sexual and gender minorities rely on to remain educated on their sexual health will just not be available one day in the next few weeks

The CDC is removing data sets that researchers widely rely upon because they include information on sexual orientation and gender identity. “It feels like they’re trying to will us out of existence,” one researcher tells @theresagaff.bsky.social: www.statnews.com/2025/01/31/c...

CDC removes data on sexual orientation, gender identity from website

Data from an expansive federal survey on youth behavioral habits, including their sexual orientation and gender identity, have been removed from the website of the CDC.

these sorts of initiatives coupled with the continued rising cost of all foods generally is going to make food access inequality so much worse and will lead to even worse health outcomes for already at risk populations

Davis Roberts MS, RDN, LD @doseofdavis.bsky.social · 31/01/2025

that being said 1) there isn’t really consensus in the literature regarding what qualifies as a UPF and 2) if you make moves to restrict UPF but do nothing to fix systemic inequalities that lead to people being reliant on them in the first place a significant number of people will simply starve

i think that raising awareness regarding the potential health harms of a diet that consists of primarily ultra-processed foods is important

okay i’m finally experiencing the “their prealbumin is low they need more protein!” demands for the first time and i genuinely don’t know how to explain to a team of surgeons why i am not surprised to see a low prealbumin in someone 2 weeks s/p a double lung transplant

Davis Roberts MS, RDN, LD @doseofdavis.bsky.social · 30/12/2024

also why are these folks always brand ambassadors? is it because it’s more about making money than it is applying evidence based therapies (but like really evidenced based therapies, not first trial mouse models or case studies where n=1) to patient care?

i don’t want to express my grievances with integrative and functional folks in too public of a space, but all i’m saying is it should be concerning how often that community shakes hands with conspiracies and pseudoscience to anyone who took their education in nutrition science seriously

Davis Roberts MS, RDN, LD @doseofdavis.bsky.social · 30/12/2024

very disappointing to see dietitians on instagram promoting raw dairy but i guess it was only a matter of time especially when this persons whole vibe is “balancing hormones” which is *narrows eyes in suspicion* at baseline

it’s all personal choice and no regulations until people start using raw milk in place of formula or touting it as a panacea and promoting it to immunocompromised populations

Davis Roberts MS, RDN, LD @doseofdavis.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

this particular “do you own research” protestant reformation style thought regarding medicine, nutrition, and health in general is, genuinely, going to be the downfall of this country.

apropos of nothing, one of the most important things any of us can do to resist fascism is to refuse to comply early. this means a lot of things, like not selling out your vulnerable neighbors, and not acting to aid the regime. it also *very crucially* means not abandoning hope.

that being said, combating it is refreshing. just the other day a patient told me he was thinking about cutting out carbs because he heard “sugar feeds cancer” and i was able to provide an evidenced based answer as to why restricting whole food groups is a bad idea while also fighting cancer

like it’s very clear to me that “expertise” is being challenged by the american public as a whole and not in an enriching “expect better of your experts” way, instead it’s a “i did my own research you don’t know what you’re talking about” way

very blessed to be inpatient and protected from the worst of this sort of thing, but the misinformation surrounding health, wellness, and nutrition that is going to get worse in the next four years is going to be really annoying for dietitians specifically and healthcare generally

What is common knowledge in your field but shocks outsiders? The amount of everyday folks I’ve talked to who are convinced alcohol on its own is calorie free and it’s just mixers that contribute to weight gain is wild and they’re always very disappointed when I break the news to them.

Europeans don't fluoridate their water, but they fluoridate salt, milk, and other products. Scandinavian countries give children fluoride rinses and tablets. So when someone like Leana Wen just casually drops "Europeans don't fluoridate their water," she is simply revealing her own ignorance.

So far he's done a bunch of hand waving abt corporate influence & spread misinfo/exaggerations abt fluoride & Yellow No 5. Relying on fears of 'chemicals' unites anti vax & foodie ideologies but doesn't inspire confidence that he's going to tackle the many food/nutrition drivers of chronic disease

About me! I am interested in clinical nutrition, espcially critical care and transplant nutrition. In my free time I am also interested in bioethics, political theology, and Anglicanism. In my other free time I also bake, hike, play video games, and watch rugby. Looking forward to connecting.
