Why I am an expert in disability nutrition. ⁠
⁠
You may be wondering, "why should I work with a dietitian who has this specific expertise?"⁠
⁠
Let me tell you. ⁠
⁠
Firstly, even though I did a dietetic internship, I didn't learn how to work with the populations I work with. There is definitely a big gap in dietetic training.⁠
⁠
I've basically taught myself everything over the past year and a bit since graduating. ⁠
⁠
What have I done to educate myself? 📚🤓⁠
⁠
➡️ I've combed through countless research studies, clinical practice guidelines, books, and more for conditions such as CP, spina bifida, MS, rheumatoid arthritis, SCI, muscular dystrophy, autism, and ADHD. ⁠
➡️ I've researched nutritional management of countless topics such as neurogenic bowel, pressure wounds, picky eating, digestive health, brain health, and anti-inflammatory diets.⁠
➡️ I've listened to as many relevant webinars as I could, such as ones on picky eating in autism, autoimmune conditions, etc.⁠
➡️ I've taken a 4 week course on how to deal with extreme picky eating in autistic kids.⁠
➡️ I've had chats with colleagues who work with similar conditions to glean their insight.⁠
➡️ I've also learned directly from my clients what works for them and what doesn't and I've started seeing similar patterns come up.⁠
➡️ I use my own lived experience as well. ⁠
⁠
...and more.⁠
⁠
I love learning and I know the learning never stops. I am committed to serving my clients the best I can and posting helpful content on my blog and IG.⁠
⁠
Are you looking to invest in working with a dietitian who truly understands your unique nutritional needs? Send me a DM, I'd love to chat.⁠

I had a proper caption written out for this post but it got deleted 😞

Swipe for some awesome tips on what to do with your browning bananas! They’ll never have to go to waste again.

ID: Peach background with green text that states "What To Do With Browning Bananas". Below the text, there is an image of a sliced banana, with a green smoothie to the left and a cup of nice cream to the right. Underneath, there are images of banana muffins and banana bread. The rest of the text on the page is black.

Same background and text for the second slide. On top, there are two white bowls. One bowl has blue stripes and is filled with oatmeal. The other bowl is filled with pink yogurt. Both the oatmeal and yogurt are topped with banana slices. Below, there is a stack of pancakes, as well as a crepe topped with banana slices and nutella.
