My kid just texted me "🐞". It's code for "I want to come home, but I want it to be your fault." One random emoji that means "Get me out of here." I call, I show up, I make an excuse. I get to be the "bad guy." They get to leave safely—without being a "tattletale", without…

Kennedy's investigation into autism spectrum disorder will likely reveal a few things. First, that 10-20% of diagnoses are overdiagnosed, mislabeling social eccentricities or sensory quirks as neurodivergence due to broad DSM-5 criteria and cultural valorization of “specialness,”…
RFK Jr. just REVEALED he has found the causes of autism. This is the moment MAHA moms have been waiting for. “We’re finding certain interventions that are almost certainly causing autism.” “We will have announcements, as promised, in September.” “In 1970, the biggest…

Does healthy food really cost “too much” if it could help get your life and wellness back? The expense of losing years or decades of life to feeling unwell and coping with it costs far more in the long run. Which expense are you choosing?
Patients tell me every day they can't afford steak but they then ask about Ozempic. Lol.
Fad diets are popular because the standard American diet is so bad that people are looking for anything at all that could help.
Nickel particles were physically found in the gut tissue of people with Crohn’s disease. 40% of Crohn's patients test positive for nickel allergy. I’m convinced that nickel is one of the most overlooked yet harmful heavy metals. It can trigger instant allergic reactions that…
Does anyone have medical/nutrition scholarship recommendations that I could look into applying for? My passion is nutrition-based medical care. I want to provide more medical care than what RDNs are limited to. Currently in a bachelors in dietetics program.

A possible nutrition-related root cause of the neurological conditions found to be associated with high homocysteine, as mentioned in the paragraph.
48% of newly diagnosed Hashimoto's patients had reactivated Epstein Barre Virus (EBV) in blood vs 0% controls. EBV DNA & LMP1 proteins found in thyroid tissue of 80%+ HT patients. If you have Hashimoto's, maybe test for EBV reactivation, pretty please?!
