There is actually plenty of research to indicate that it does. I also did not say it was guaranteed that a dx of retinopathy would lead to blindness. I stated simple facts that can be substantiated by opening up a journal or medical textbook. Please kindly educate yourself before placing comments on my videos. Thank you!

hi! im sorry you weren't able to find work :( i highly recommend marketing yourself as a diet consultant and having people pay you for counseling ! a lot of people see nutritionist that dont even go to college and they make a lot of money with personal clients, this could be a great chance for you to start your own business! look into health coaching and private practices!

You totally can! It is a challenging and competitive path but 100% worth it if it's your passion. Becoming an RD grew me in ways I'd never have imagined. If you haven't already, check out All Access Dietetics for resources and support! Best of luck! 😃

@@annier844 Some people say that the pay isn’t worth it. Do you think this is true? Is there a lot of burnout?

@@nocturnalmedusa I think whether it is worth it is ultimately dependent on you and what you value in life. As some people say, if you do what you love you'll never work a day in your life. That being said, [prospective] dietetics students should weigh the costs associated with becoming an RD. Completing a graduate degree and dietetic internship is a significant financial commitment-I don't have a masters but personally spent roughly 45K between undergrad and dietetic internship/associated costs (and this is with living at home during college, attending junior college first, etc.). Tack grad school and other items on and you’re looking at around 75K (more than many RDs make in a year). Pay can vary based on state, setting, experience and certifications, etc, but it is unfortunately true that we generally aren’t compensated fairly for our expertise or as much as other roughly comparable positions such as SLP and OT. In my experience, inpatient clinical tends to pay lowest (~40-65K/yr) and work you the hardest, whereas managerial positions tend to pay highest (~75-100K/yr). I’m still a new RD and inpatient clinical is the love of my life so I settle for lower pay. 😉 As far as burnout goes, I don’t think it is as high in dietetics as in other disciplines such as nursing and medicine. We have pretty good work-life balance overall. However, it’s still healthcare and healthcare is messy and ugly sometimes. There are challenges associated with being an RD that can cause frustration and burnout-e.g. perceptions and stigmas, systemic fatphobia, distrust and marginalization by some MDs, poor pay, devaluation of expertise by self-proclaimed experts, performance culture within the profession, etc. All of those things being said…dietetics is still an AMAZING field and I wouldn’t trade my training and expertise for anything. It’s incredibly humbling and special to advocate for people to be adequately nourished, whether that means helping someone find resources during food insecurity or infusing parenteral nutrition in a patient with half their small intestine resected. So yes-I personally do think it’s worth it, even if not financially. Hope that helps! 😊

That is one of the most important minerals in the blood that is going to be afftected first when someone has refeeding syndrome.

Me to by the way

What did you decide I’m leaning towards community nutrition but haven’t seen many videos of them

We can when we use it to measure blood pressure 😊

@@matthewjaimerd7349 just for blood pressure nutritionalist can not use it to diagnose respiratory issue or cough ?plz also tell me is there white coat ceremony at first day of university?plz reply me asap

@@namrafiaz7531 I mean, we are trained to understand many health conditions, but officially, a dietitian cannot diagnose a respiratory disease, even if we know the patient had a respiratory condition. But as a dietitian, you will understand the pathophysiology of all the diseases you work. Many of which, include respiratory issues (like COVID)
