I have always had a passion for education and being at Saint Vincent Academy, I have grown into a passionate young woman. Academically, I have been exposed to many different classes such as American History, Women's History, Modern History, a very graphic freshman year health class, and Human Anatomy and Physiology. Each class has helped me in forming my passion of helping people and the ability to empathize. Through my history classes, I have learned about the need to help others and through my science classes, I have come to the decision to become a nutritionist/ registered dietician. My goal as a nutritionist is to help people take better care of themselves and it will start by acknowledging them on what they put into their body's and the
Nutrition has always been a big part of my life even prior to becoming a nurse. On a daily basis I am using nutrition in some way or another to teach my patients or learn something about myself. I usually follow the latest nutritional news because and I am a firm believer that diet is key in health and healing.NS325 has been a very useful and knowledgeable course because I can personally relate to it and can apply much of the information learned to my own life and career. The Diet Analysis project was wonderful because it gave me a first hand look at my own diet habits.

The program helps RD’s insert their patient’s information and needs into a software that will evaluate what is best for that patient. It will tell people everything they need to be eating, give them a shopping list for the grocery store, and explain the recommended portion sizes. People will become aware of this software that can be available for them through a RD. Meal planning is important to RD’s, and this computer program gives them an opportunity to insure their patients are getting the best plan possible. People should consider this program both easily accessible and
These health care teams often are made up of many different types of professionals including doctors, physician assistants, nurses, pharmacists, dentists, therapists, registered dietitians (RD), and many other different types of technologists and technicians. Although all of these members of the team are essential, the role registered dietitian’s play and the knowledge they contribute is vital to many different specialties in health care. According to a study by Kelly Adams, Karen Lindell, Martin Kolhmeier, and Steven Zeisel, only 30% of medical schools require an actual separate course in nutrition. Although their curriculum may include nutrition throughout the many different courses a physician has to take, this is an inadequate amount of time being spent on nutrition to be considered and expert in this field, which results in the vitality of having and maintaining a RD on their team. Nutrition can prevent and help treat many different problems that arise in clinical care and the different specialties that it entails.
Columbus, Indiana offers several options for weight loss. CRH has a Bariatric Center that supports obese people with two dietitians, a psychologist, and internist, a registered nurse, a nurse practitioner, and a talented bariatric surgeon (Columbus Regional Health, n.d.). The Bariatric Center offers free information sessions twice a month and provides evidence-based, patient-centered care comparable to the national standards (Columbus Regional Health, n.d.). The city is home to the Metabolic Research Center, New-Start Health Center, and Weight Watchers. Additionally, the community meets the global, national, and state guidelines for healthy eating and physical activity; however, there continues to be a need for reevaluation as evidenced by increasing obesity rates.
1) The background information on a possible referral by a physician to a Registered Dietitian might give us an insight on the stage of behavioral modification stage of the patient. If the patient was referred to a Registered Dietitian (RD) by a physician, and did not seek the RD on their own free will, this might indicate that the patient was either given no choice to visit the RD or is willing to follow the physician's recommendations. A study conducted on clinician referrals services shows that the referral services had a modest impact on the progress of the patient.1,2

Attention Getter: I visited Holly Drougas—our very own licensed dietician here at Virginia Western. I asked her, “What is the first thing that comes to mind when I say the word ‘Nutrition’?” She shocked me by saying, “Confusion”. With so much conflicting and confusing information from both the scientific community and the lay press, many people simply don't know what to eat to be healthy or to lose weight.
Hi, I am Hanne-Mart and today I am going to tell you why I do not agree that the banting diet is for everyone who wants to lose weight, but that banting does have a place in nutritional management.
A dietitian’s job is to promote health and control diseases through nutritional education. A responsibility of a dietitian or nutritionist might be advising patients on nutritional
It is unfortunate, that the “bandwagon dieter” will seek different medical procedures that are performed by unskilled and unqualified doctors in and out of the United States to have their dream body. By utilizing these types of procedures the dieter will go to the extreme to get their dream body, but being blinded by the result, this dieter doesn’t follow all research in thoroughly investigating all medical procedures and/or doctors. The “bandwagon dieter” doesn’t always do the proper research; this dieter will endanger their health. The “bandwagon dieter” is always listening out for the next miracle drug for weight loss. However, attending a class reunion or purchasing new clothes can be a dieter’s incentive to lose weight, making a decision to lose weight because of an event are very hard to keep, and the “promise dieter” attempts to lose weight will result in failure. The “promise dieter” always starts their diet on a Monday, that is always the promise and then the “promise dieter” mistakenly eats something not healthy or not on their diet list and then all bets are off. The “promise dieter” is always willing to start their diet over again. But, before the “promise dieter” is ready to start their new diet they eat anything and everything before they start, on their new diet. The “promise dieter” has several attempts of trying to lose weight, unfortunately they are unsuccessful. No one is fooled by the
We need to communicate that a change in lifestyle is the biggest proponent of weight. In fact, studies have shown that “interventions that promote lifestyle changes…have shown better weight [loss and] maintenance than interventions that do not” (LeCheminant 348). Since ads will continue to showcase the opposite and provide examples, it falls to healthcare providers to amplify this message. Dieticians and nutritionists and even primary care physicians need to focus on explaining that putting in work is the only way for a person to lose weight in a healthy way. However, they cannot just preach this message and expect their patients to immediately comply. Doctors also need to have a background understanding of what a patient’s life includes, and meet them where they are. For example, a poor person who lives in a food desert and buys cheap, unhealthy food is going to have a harder time losing weight than a person who shops exclusively at whole foods. Miscommunication comes when there is no understanding of the everyday hardships a person faces that would prevent them for implementing healthy lifestyle changes a doctor
