What kind of dietary resources do you point your patients do when discussing nutritional changes to your patients for their annual exams?

Not and MD, but have been doing community nursing for a decade. I find it imperative to ensure that the discussion is culturally appropriate. I can't tell you how many time I've discussed nutrition as it pertains to co-morbidities and the foods that patients actually consume is never discussed by their PCP/RD/Nutritionist.

I love myplate.gov. It's super user-friendly and I find that most of my patients are very receptive to it.

I don't do this in the office (because...slippery slope), but when friends ask, I have a few IG accounts that I REALLY love. They're more approachable and realistic, and the info is easily consumable for a people on the go or who feel too busy to "research" stuff. For example, I love referring parents to Kids Eat in Color.

For pts that express a desire to lose weight, I usually ask if they only eat when hungry and if they stop when full or when finished with a plate. I teach them about eating when hungry and stopping when not hungry. I let them know it is something to try a few days, or just half a day here and there. See if it helps them, or if they want something more intense which entails doctors and dietitians. It’s amazing how many people don’t realize they can stop eating before a plate is finished, and do something other than eat when watching TV or bored. It’s even more amazing how many of them are open to small simple changes that make them feel better overall.

Getting over heartbreak and having a full time job is torture lol. My boyfriend and I just broke up after almost a year of being together. It was such a beautiful relationship but ultimately he just didn’t love me. I love him so much. My mind knows that I deserve reciprocal love and I’m worthy, but I feel physically ill. My body hurts, my stomach is in knots, my head hurts. How is it that I have to mend a broken heart but also meet my billable hours lmao

The problem is that anybody else seems to be so welcoming and open-minded, except for this one guy. Any advices?
