Challenging Perspectives: Evaluating the 'Food is Medicine' Concept in Contemporary Healthcare A recent publication in the Journal of the American Medical Association dismisses the concept of "Food is Medicine” stating, “It is well established that there is value in offering food at no cost to people who need it. But the medical and public health communities’ enthusiasm for food is medicine seems unjustified by its likely benefit.” Going on, the authors argue that encouraging individuals to adopt healthy eating habits, even when provided with food by healthcare providers, proves to be challenging. They cite the overburdened and difficult-to-access healthcare system, which lacks a commendable track record in coordinating with other providers, such as nutrition counselors, as a primary hindrance. HOWEVER…. Upon sharing this report with the many doctors within our network (Restorative Farms), some would argue that the authors might lack hands-on clinical experience, especially within a safety net population where doctors have witnessed significant potential impact. Others may believe that linking food to the healthcare system introduces a narrative power that was previously absent. Within this movement, there are numerous skeptics and outspoken naysayers, particularly among those who assert that expanding current strategies should suffice. In response to this perspective, one doctor I spoke to remarked, "Yes, AND... If they were sufficient, the Food is Medicine movement wouldn't have been necessary”.

> Let's discuss a most awaited topic "Distinguishing Between Dietitian vs Nutritionist" Many people mistakenly use the terms “dietitian” and “nutritionist” interchangeably. Although these two professions are undoubtedly related, they maintain distinctive qualities. The biggest difference between dietitians and nutritionists lies in the legal restrictions that each title carries. In terms of studies, nutrition is the science of food and its interactions with the body while dietetics is the study of nutrition in the clinical setting (mostly). Dietetics is a professional program that prepares you to counsel and work in the healthcare industry. One is not better than the other, and it really just comes down to what you would like to do with your degree. Also "Dietitian" is protected by law while anyone can be a "Nutritionist" Unlike dietitians, the nutritionist profession is much less protected under the law. In fact, nutritionists who do not intend to use the titles of “dietitian” or “registered dietitian” are often free from government regulation. Some states may require nutritionists to obtain an occupational license from a Board of Nutrition, while other states allow individuals to practice as nutritionists without any previous education, training, or work experience. #futurebeholders #nutritionist #nutrition #dietitian #dietetics

Week 2! Happy Registered Dietitian Day! Are you aware of the extensive capabilities and responsibilities of Registered Dietitians (RDs)? Let's begin by highlighting their educational background: RDs hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Food and Nutrition, and nowadays, a Master's Degree is required for certification, equipping them with comprehensive knowledge in pathophysiology, the interpretation of lab data, and medication interactions. Working in long-term care facilities, as most of our RDs do, they assume a multifaceted role where that not only includes creating individualized nutrition care plans and performing comprehensive assessments of patients' nutritional status but also encompasses oversight of food safety, sanitation, menu planning, meal preparation. These critical tasks are integral to ensuring accurate Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) processes and cannot be success without their collaboration with multiple departments in the facilities. For many of us who are passionate about food, it's disheartening to witness the misinformation of nutrition spreading on the internet. Studies show Registered Dietitians rank among the top 5 trusted healthcare professionals. I encourage you to engage with RDs on social media platforms to access credible nutrition insights (tag your favorites in the comments!) Have you ever wondered about the motivations driving RDs in their profession? Polls frequently reveal a common theme: a desire to effect positive change and enhance the well-being of individuals, ultimately fostering happiness. RDs are dedicated to facilitating safe weight management, promoting hydration, mitigating inflammation, and crafting meals that are both nutritious and enjoyable. Hope is easily found with your RD! Nutrition Therapy Essentials as your Nutrition Services Partner wants to help you move forward into a healthier future that makes a difference for the Residents, Nursing staff, Cooks, Administrators and the community as a whole. We do this by encouraging relationships and open communication with our RDs to create an environment that is successful for all! If you want hope, talk with your Registered Dietitian! It's a transformative step towards providing high quality care.

Certified Nutritionist vs. Registered Dietitian: What’s the Difference? In the realm of nutrition, it's crucial to understand the distinctions between Certified Nutritionists and Registered Dietitians (RDs). While both play integral roles in promoting health through dietary choices, their qualifications and scopes of practice differ significantly. Certified Nutritionists typically acquire their certification through various programs, which may not always follow a standardized curriculum. They focus on providing general nutritional guidance and education but may lack the extensive clinical training required for specialized dietary interventions. On the other hand, Registered Dietitians undergo rigorous academic and clinical training. They hold a degree in nutrition, complete a supervised internship, and pass a national exam. RDs are equipped to work in diverse settings, including hospitals, clinics, and private practice, offering personalized nutrition plans tailored to medical conditions. When seeking nutritional advice, it's essential to consider your specific needs. Certified Nutritionists excel in general wellness guidance, while Registered Dietitians bring a comprehensive skill set suitable for managing health conditions through evidence-based nutrition. In summary, while both professions contribute to the promotion of health and well-being, the key lies in recognizing the depth of training and expertise each brings to the table. #Nutrition #Health #Dietetics #Wellness #RegisteredDietitian #CertifiedNutritionist #NutritionExperts #HealthyLivingTips #DietaryWellness #NutritionInsights #HealthAndDiet #RDInsights #CertifiedNutrition #WellnessJourney #NutritionEducation #ClinicalNutrition #RDAdvice #WellnessWednesday

Dietitian vs Nutritionist: What's the Difference? While it is true that dietitians are qualified nutrition experts, not all nutritionists are dietitians. Key differences between the two: Education and Training: Dietitians: Required to complete a formal education program (usually at the bachelor's or master's level) in dietetics, food and nutrition, or a related field. They also must complete a supervised practice program and pass a national exam to become a registered dietitian (RD) or registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN). Nutritionists: May have completed short courses or workshops in nutrition not accredited by a recognised University. Scope of Practice: Dietitians: Often work in research/clinical settings, hospitals, sports performance academies, and public health organizations. They are qualified to provide medical nutrition therapy, create dietary plans for individuals with specific health/fitness goals, and offer evidence-based nutrition advice. Nutritionists: Typically focus on general nutrition advice and healthy eating habits, rather than providing therapeutic dietary interventions for medical conditions. License: Dietitians: The title of dietitian is protected by law in many countries, and dietitians must be registered or licensed to practice. They are regulated healthcare professionals who adhere to strict standards and codes of ethics. Nutritionists: In most countries, the term "nutritionist" is not regulated, which means that anyone can refer to themselves as a nutritionist without specific education or training requirements. In summary, dietitians have more extensive education, training, and regulatory requirements compared to nutritionists. Dietitians are typically qualified to provide specialized nutrition advice and medical nutrition therapy, while nutritionists often focus on general nutrition and wellness guidance. #Dietitian #nutritionists #DietitianvsNutritionist #International #linkedin

👨🔬 “I know nothing about the subject, but I am happy to give you my expert opinion” 😅 These are words borrowed from a comic that led me to an opinion stew by Dr. Katz written in 2013 about the field of nutrition, where not only does everyone have an opinion, but everyone seems to think theirs is an expert opinion. 🕖It may seem that we have come a long way since then, but not really. Nutrition and dietetics practices still often find themselves surrounded by misinformation for several reasons including, but not limited to, the complexity of the field that is constantly evolving, 🔄️and the sociocultural influences that widely govern dietary habits in the Kenyan population.🍽️ As practicing nutritionists and dietitians, we felt the gap and sought to provide solutions as we could. ✨The Diet Update is a platform that addresses this need one webinar at a time. Founded by 7 practicing dietitians and nutritionists, myself included, we are on a mission to bring back the science to the art and standardize the practice such that it is helpful to the population we serve. ✨ 📈We have so far achieved 1 year of full service with 12 successful webinars presented by certified practicing nutritionists and dietitians who are experts in their fields thus providing a forum for professionals to sharpen their skills and compare notes. We are excited for the new year and invite all dietitians, nutritionists, and health enthusiasts to join us on this journey of #learning, #growth, and #collaboration. Let’s leverage our collective expertise to shape the future of our profession and make a positive impact on the world.🌍🌍 #healthandwellness #nutritionawareness #professionalgrowth
