Someone said "stay home and beg" if people can't find $1,000 for a job fair. Like what??!
People come to the clinic everyday and can't afford a test for $850 and that's for their health! You guys don't know anything outside your privileged bubble and it shows.

Namely, your stress hormones are too high, and you may not be able to lose your belly fat as a result.

Kids have always been "on the spectrum" we just generally called them rude, 'dunce', trouble-maker and the like. The fact that we're having more diagnoses is because more people are aware and choosing to get diagnosed.

For the last six years, Alvan Ross has been repaying a loan to the Students’ Loan Bureau that he never received in the first place.

Can we talk about BREADFRUIT and how it's probably one of our superior carbs.
It has more carbs per serving than rice or potatoes, giving more energy & it has more fiber and a lower glycemic load, which means it breaks down slowly and won't spike your blood sugar as quickly

Honestly if we're speaking about doughnuts we'll have to talk about patties (490 cal), bun & cheese, KFC etc
People are going to eat what they love, which may not always be good for them.
Let's say no to restriction and yes to moderation.
Public Service Announcement:
One Doughnut has 269 KCalories.
How long would it take to burn off 270 KCal?
Walking (3mph) 73 minutes
Running (6mph) 26 minutes
Bicycling (10mph) 37 minutes

PCOS is one of those syndromes that every other month I find out that another disease is associated with it.
Meaning" if you have PCOS you're more likely to have xyz"
If we could treat it like the likely autoimmune disease it is, that would be great

As a chronic procrastinator I found a great hack that really boost my productivity...and that was simply setting a timer.

I see people coming in to my office in their early 20s and 30s with Hypertension, Diabetes, High Cholesterol and Colon Cancer, which cut their life expectancy down considerably...
I don’t usually agree with such guy but cooking is anecdotally a low ROI activity.
The time, energy and money it takes to:
-travel to and from the supermarket
-buy food to cook
-store it
-buy items to cook it with and in
-to actual prepare and cook it
Best you buy food. 😏

Let it be known that denying access to safe abortions doesn't stop them from happening
There is literally a ward at our public hospital that deals with managing botched abortions 80% of the time
This is only affects one class of citizens and that's why their stance won't change
Minister of Legal and Constitutional Affairs, Marlene Malahoo Forte has declared that she will not support any push to legalise abortion in Jamaica... in honour of her mother.

This is so irresponsible. Safe abortions for all should not be based on a mother's personal choice.
Imagine if a doctor said "I'm not going to remove your fibroids because my mother kept hers and she was fine" 🙃 It doesn't make sense!!!

As a nutritionist, I'm here to say you're likely still going to crave the ice cream, chocolate or KFC cause a lot of these are comfort foods for celebrations or when u feel down.
It's okay to have cravings, it's more about learning triggers and being comfortable with moderation.
when your diet changes, your cravings changes. now i be at home craving a full blown salad.

Taxation of sugary drinks has worked in places like Mexico, but if our goal is to reduce obesity we have to regulate what is placed in our foods like reducing high fructose corn syrup.
While removing tax from fruits, vegetables and water will likely increase their consumption

This is the part of sugar addiction that we don't talk about often. Beyond Diabetes and PCOS, sugar cravings can be a result of emotional distress that won't resolve with simple diet changes.
Btw, people who have been neglected and are craving emotional fulfillment/comfort, can develop a sugar addiction. So if you’ve been trying to break the habit and you don’t know why it’s so hard to stop, you might need to address the emotional/psychological need behind it

There is a whole ward dedicated to women who have botched abortions, where we assess the damage and perform a safe termination of the pregnancy afterwards.
Abortion being illegal only increases risks for infections, heavy bleeding and damage to a woman's reproductive organs
Legalising abortion is the only way to go. Legalising abortion doesn't encourage or 'force' women to terminate pregnancies, it doesn't 'kill babies' it allows women to have a safe choice that decreases mortality and mobility associated with 'backdoor' abortions.

BMI is not an adequate indicator of "healthy weight" if anything it increases the rates of fad diets and disordered eating because someone is trying to attain a goal that isn't right for them

4. Move you body
After your ONE donut, take a little walk (10 minutes) or more back to your office, around Devon House, in your living room, wherever. This walk immediately allows your muscles to soak up the sugar and use it as energy

"Welp. I gained a lot of weight and it went a lot of places 1o1 face, arms, tummy and most effectively... datassss. I usually am so critical and frustrated by it because PCOS has me really messed up, but optimistically, at least now theres two moons on the

Though oats just seems like "carbs" when we read the nutrition facts. It has fiber and a compound called beta-glucan which supports our gut health, immune system and has cholesterol and blood sugar lowering capacity.

Been practicing this! Very uncomfortable but makes everything clear at the end of the day
This is your reminder to communicate what you think, what you need and want. People cannot guess the things you don’t tell them, even when it seems like common sense to you.
They also have the right to say no to what you ask for, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t communicate.

Lifestyle changes are never perfect.
Go at your own pace. If you "fall off the wagon" give yourself grace, find a support system and start again when you're ready.

To my iron deficient girlies...
Remember not to take your iron pills with tea or coffee. These beverages lower the absorption by 50 - 70%
So definitely worth taking with water.
