Helping dietitians achieve high rates of client success by making behavior change easy | Kidney Dietitian | Behavior Change Expert | Dietitian Book Club Host
I never planned to become a dialysis dietitian - quite the opposite! Here’s how I stumbled into a 20-year career in this field. As a nutrition student, I had no desire to pursue kidney nutrition. It seemed so complicated! On the last day of my renal rotation during my dietetic internship, I distinctly remember thinking, “Thank goodness that’s over and I never have to do that again!” Fast forward a few years when I found myself unexpectedly downsized and looking for work. A former classmate (Hi Tiffanie 👋) mentioned an opening at a local dialysis clinic, I interviewed that week, and the rest is history. 🌟 Now, 20 years later, I’ve spent two decades working with people on dialysis and I can’t believe how quickly the time has passed. ⏳ So what changed my mind? Why have I stayed? 👥 The Relationships: I’ve known some of my patients for more than a decade now and they’re like a second family. I love getting to know them over the long term and not just for a few visits. 💪 The Challenge: Dialysis presents countless opportunities to make the complex simple. Trying different strategies and seeing the results of my efforts keeps me engaged and motivated. 🗓️ The Flexibility: Since patients attend treatments for several hours three times a week, I have flexibility with when I schedule and complete my tasks. There’s lots of variety in what I do. Plus, no weekends! Life has a funny way of leading you to the places you’re meant to be - even when you don’t see it coming. 😊 💬 What about you? Did you envision yourself in your current role or did you find your path unexpectedly? Share your story. If you’re currently working in dialysis or curious to learn more, feel free to DM me. I’d love to chat! 😁 #DialysisDietitian #RenalNutrition #DietitianLife #DietitianCareer #RD2Be #RegisteredDietitian #Nutritionist #ClinicalDietitian #DialysisNutrition #RenalDietitian

Clinical Pharmacologist Intern @ Kokilaben Hospital | PK-PD | Medication Safety & Management | Clinical Decisions | Interdisciplinary Collab | Personalized Care
🎯 Choosing Career Path: Hospital vs. Industry! A junior colleague asked me about choosing a career in a hospital or the industry. Here's what I shared: Hospital 🏥: 1. No Saturdays off 2. Lower salary 3. Limited growth potential 4. Great for those passionate about patient care Industry 🏢: 1. Weekends off 2. Good salary 3. Lots of growth opportunities 4. Many feel stuck despite the perks ✨ Conclusion? Success isn't just about the perks; it's about passion, dedication, and finding the right fit. Whether in a hospital or the industry, those who love their work will ultimately succeed. "Follow your passion," I advised. It is the key to long-term success and happiness. #pharmd #career #success #passion #hospital #industry

Reflecting on My House Job Journey: A Year of Growth, Learning, and Resilience. As I look back on my house job experience, I'm filled with a deep sense of gratitude for the journey that shaped me both professionally and personally. It was a year marked by long hours, challenging cases, and moments of intense learning—each of which contributed to the doctor I am today. During this time, I had the privilege of working alongside some of the most dedicated and compassionate professionals in healthcare. From late-night emergency calls to the early morning rounds, every moment was a lesson in patience, teamwork, and the importance of empathy in patient care. The steep learning curve taught me the value of resilience, the necessity of continuous learning, and the importance of leaning on your team. There were days when the demands seemed overwhelming, but it was in these moments that I found my strength and reaffirmed my passion for medicine. I'm incredibly thankful for the mentors who guided me, the colleagues who supported me, and the patients who trusted me with their care. Each interaction was a step towards becoming a better clinician, a more thoughtful listener, and a more compassionate caregiver. As I move forward in my career, I carry these experiences with me, knowing that they will continue to shape my approach to medicine. Here's to the journey ahead, and to all those who are just beginning theirs—embrace every challenge, learn from every experience, and never forget the impact you can have on someone’s life. #Medicine #Healthcare #MedicalJourney #HouseJob #LearningAndGrowth #Resilience

I've been considering posting about this for a while because it's pretty personal. However, my personal life affects my professional life significantly, so: In May, I left an accelerated nursing program that I worked over a year to get into. I realized I was not prepared for the rigor of such a curriculum. My mental health quickly took a toll and I utlimately chose to withdraw from the program to preserve my well-being. As a way to bounce back, I accepted a nurse aide job shortly after to gain more healthcare experience. I think it was my way of trying to convince myself I still wanted to pursue nursing too. But, lo and behold, my mental health only got worse, so I left that role shortly after starting as well. All in all, this summer has been a huge eye opener for me. While the decisions I made were for my best interest, they have no less been sucker punches to the gut. I thought patient-facing healthcare was my dream, but I'm not so sure anymore. For the first time in my life, my path is not clear and it has honestly been a terrifying experience. Despite my trials and tribulations, I'm doing much better. I have been focusing taking care of myself while I am looking for a new role 🙂. I'm particularly interested in university-level laboratory and academic work, scientific research, and library operations too. If you have any connections pertaining to these, let me know 👀 (this job market is rough *cough cough*). This is honestly such a relief to finally talk about. During this period of personal adversity, I've felt pretty ashamed for stepping away from professional opportunities and focusing on my well-being. However, I am only human and life is not a linear process.

We caught up with Siouxzanna, an MS student in Nutrition & Dietetics: Integrated Graduate Nutrition, six weeks into her first semester as an Online Osprey, to learn more about how she’s navigating her studies and making the most of her time. How do you focus your time? "Completing my assignments early is a priority, allowing me time to understand concepts and produce quality work. While studying takes up most of my time, I make sure to set aside time to relax and do at least one enjoyable weekly activity to help combat burnout." What challenges have you experienced? "The biggest challenge I've faced is time management. Each week brings new material and unique challenges, and balancing my internship on top of everything makes effective time management crucial. Initially, I was concerned about being in a fully online program, but my instructors have been incredibly supportive, holding weekly check-ins to keep us on track. Dr. Leftwich has been especially phenomenal, advocating for us and resolving any issues." Does your semester goal feel attainable? "Absolutely! I've made it a point to step out of my comfort zone whenever possible. This year, I attended the Food & Nutrition Conference & Expo, which was an amazing opportunity to network and build meaningful connections." As the semester unfolds, we’re eager to support Siouxzanna and provide more insights into her academic journey. #UNFOnline #NutritionAndDietetics #OnlineLearning

I Empower Organisations beyond Conventional L&D | 7 × LinkedIn Top Voice | WICCI Member | Visionary Leadership Architect | Global Keynote Speaker Fueling Bold Leadership Shifts that Redefine Success
#AnjanaAdds ⚡ The “Career Expiry Date” nobody talks about! Ever notice how food has an expiry date? Well… here’s a crazy thought: What if careers had one too? No one talks about it, but careers can go stale. It’s not about how long you’ve been in a role—it's about whether the “ingredients” of your job are still fresh. 👉 Does your excitement for Monday mornings have a best before date? 👉 Has your drive started spoiling from lack of growth? 👉 Are you sticking to this job past its prime? Staying in a role too long can rot your potential. Maybe it’s time we ask ourselves: Has my career reached its expiry date? After all, when food goes bad, we toss it. So why do we keep expired careers? Take a moment today—check your career’s expiration label. The Picture Below: Taking a moment to breathe, reset, and savor the festive pause—because even in the busiest seasons, stillness is the secret to renewed energy ! #CareerExpiryDate #FreshStarts #GrowthCheck #NewTwistOnWork #ReinventYourself #CareerDevelopment #LinkedInNewsIndia #Leadership #CoachAnjana #TheIncredibleYou

Helping RDs & Therapists Skyrocket their Intuitive Eating & Body Image Counseling Skills + Grow their Practice with Confidence | Specializing in Binge Eating | Public Speaker | Host of The More Than What You Eat Podcast
The worst advice I received as a dietetic intern is this 👇 “You need to gain experience in clinical for a few years before you start a private practice” This advice is total BS and makes my blood boil! I heard it on repeat my entire internship. I remember toward the end we met with a preceptor who asked us what our plans are for when we graduate and pass the RD exam. I didn’t miss a beat and said I’d be working in private practice. That had been the goal and dream from the start. She immediately responded with, “I recommend working in clinical for a few years to gain experience before doing that.” and took the wind out of my sails. Thankfully, it didn't change my mind. Because as a dietitian who has worked in clinical [rehab specifically] for 3 years while building my practice on the side before leaving to pursue my business full time, I can tell you this truth: The skills you need in private practice where you coach clients individually, run group programs, create courses, etc. you will NOT learn in a clinical setting. ESPECIALLY if you incorporate an intuitive eating and weight-neutral approach and if helping your clients heal their body image is a big part of the support you provide as they reclaim their health. Unfortunately, college won’t teach you these skills either. In fact, these essential skills are not part of the dietetics curriculum when they are crucial, given you WILL encounter clients who have an unhealthy relationship with food and bad body image and it will be important to help them heal it so they can pursue health in a positive sustainable way. It’s why I felt so scattered and lost when I first pivoted my practice to an intuitive eating approach. What do I ask in the first session? What’s the right thing to focus on first? How do I make sure I’m not making things worse? How do I meet my client where they are at? I invested time, money, & effort into supervision and training as well as created my own structure and process that works through my hard earned experience. ✨️I’ve poured it all into the Mentorship Program for Food Freedom Professionals to save you the headache of figuring it out on your own and piecing it together like I had to. It is the group coaching program I WISH I had when I was first starting. ➡️Next group starts in July. Presale opened yesterday and I’m excited for the 2 professionals who’ve already jumped in and saved their spot! Is your name on the next seat? [limited spots available] If you’re ready to go for your dreams in helping clients find food + body peace and do it CONFIDENTLY and EFFECTIVELY - message me for details or if you have any questions to see if its the right fit for you, before presale ends next week and price goes up 💕 [pic circa 2014 on my first day at New York Presbyterian Hospital!] #dieteticinternship #dietetics #rd #rd2b #dietitian #counselingskills #intuitiveeating #bodyimage
