What I am NOT saying: all doctors are bad or unedu

What I am NOT saying: all doctors are bad or uneducated.

What I AM saying: most doctors are NOT required to take any classes, certifications or continue ed credits about nutrition & therefor are not experts in the nutrition arena (yes this even includes GI docs).

This does not mean all doctors/PCPs, but it does mean most.

I have heard far too many doctors make blanket statements, recommend fad diets (Keto, Optavia, IF…), assume weight loss is good and weight gain is bad and SO MUCH MORE.

Here’s the thing, both sides need to acknowledge that most docs/pcps aren’t the expert in nutrition.

What can we do?

Doctors/PCPs:
👉🏻If you are not a nutrition expert, REFER OUT! There is no shame in saying that’s not your scope…BECAUSE IT’S NOT.
👉🏻You also don’t have enough time with patients as-is, that’s what RDs are for so use your time for what you’re good at not what you think you need to talk about.
👉🏻Stop making assumptions about someone based on their size and weight. Instead ASK your patient what they are doing with their diet/lifestyle and if they need and/or want help.

Patients:
👉🏻Advocate for yourself! Tell your doctor what you are doing or willing to do with your diet/lifestyle.
👉🏻Ask for a referral
👉🏻If you’re not being heard, find a new doc.
👉🏻Stop taking diet advice from docs/pcps who do NOT have any expertise in that arena.

Ok, that’s all.

xoxo,
Sassy

Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Bars
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have been loving oats more these days as it has been helpful to my breast milk supply but also a great carb for heart health and fitness health!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These are so easy to make I dumped everything in one bowl and boom in the oven they went! The tricky part is not eating them all in one day so that I can have snacks all week 😅
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Find the recipe here: https://thesassydietitian.com/chocolate-peanut-butter-oatmeal-bars/
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Enjoy!
xoxo,
Sassy

We don't all love our bodies every day. We all hav

We don't all love our bodies every day. We all have insecurities and things we want to change. This doesn't mean we need to wallow in our negativity it just means we are human.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Instead of trying to toxic positivity your way out of it, try your best to respect your body. It's done a lot for you. You don't have to love it every second of every day.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can want to work on it but the goal isn't to be smaller, the goal is to feel better, to feel more confident and to have sustainable health.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We all have bad body image days so know that you're not alone.

Everyday I wake up I’m still in awe that I get to be this kid’s mom. He wakes up so happy and it melts my sassy heart.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve had a lot of different identities in this life but this one is by far my fave. I still have not a clue what I’m doing but that probably means I’m right on track 🙃
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
He’s already made me a stronger human and for that I’ll be forever grateful 💕
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Just in my feels today & love this pic….passing on my love of the water to him as early as possible .
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Xoxo,
Sassy
