Whether you work in health or not, you've probably heard the quote, "let food be thy medicine, and let medicine be thy food.". This is a popular misquotation, attributed to Hippocrates but cannot be found anywhere in his texts. It's likely a mis-paraphrasing of the Classical Hippocratic Oath. I personally like the original quote more: "I will apply dietetic and lifestyle measures to help the sick to my best ability and judgment: I will protect them from harm and injustice." Ironically, the current version of the Hippocratic Oath does not mention diet nor injustice. While I don't quite call this "My Roman Empire"... it's close. It's an interesting case study on how we can build on the mistakes of the past assuming they are true. It makes me think about the mistaken separation between medicine, nutrition, and wellness in today's healthcare systems in much of the world. It makes me think about how we don't talk about current mainstream systems and practices are perpetuating injustice and widening the gap in access to health and food and nutrition security worldwide. #Hippocrates #Hippocraticoath #foodasmedicine #nutrition #nutritionanthropology #healthcommunication

March is National Nutrition Month; a time to appreciate the broad impacts of nutrition — from its pivotal role in disease prevention and management to enhancing athletic performance, addressing hunger and food insecurity, shaping policy, improving school meals, and its significant environmental and sustainability implications. Nutrition isn't a singular field; it's a multifaceted science that influences every aspect of our lives. This month, let us celebrate the diverse ways in which nutrition impacts our health, communities, and the planet. #nationalnutritionmonth

In honor of National Nutrition Month, I will post several posts on this year's theme. When we look at nutrition "beyond the table" it involves a broader spectrum of factors that influence what we eat, and how our food choices affect our health, the environment, and society. The concept of "Beyond the table" encourages a holistic view of food, recognizing it as a key component of a larger ecosystem. #RDNProPartners #healthcarecollaboration #DoctorsAndDietitians #MedicalNutritionTherapy #ReferToRDNPro #patientcare #nutritionReferral #CollaborateForHealth #healthprofessionals #RDNProNetwork #EnhancePatientHealth #TeamworkInHealthcare #americandiabetesassociationrecognized #centersfordiseaserecgonized

Decolonized food sovereignty recognizes the importance of our first foods and their ability to enhance prevention in health outcomes. Where western medicine falls short is that they try to approach food as medicine in a clinical, western-nutrition based programming while ignoring the important cultural and local knowledge that has built up tribal food systems for thousands of years. Supporting policies and initiatives that provide access and infrastructure for first foods to be utilized in modern day is a better approach then telling natives to eat chicken and drink milk.
