Tetyana Rocks replied to Lucas Carter
@LucasCarter Very interesting points here, Lucas. Thanks for sharing! I think I do understand what you mean by 'toxic' when it comes to positivity. It is a real skill (or maybe a gift??) to be authentically positive.
I wonder what others are thinking about these concepts? -

@KhushbooKansal Hi Khushboo. Not a problem at all. You do have unlimited access to the course material, but if you wish to apply for your 20 hours CPD from the RANZCP, you need to pass the test this calendar year. I hope this clarifies it for you. Let me know if you have any other questions. Tetyana

Hi everyone. As some of you noted, dietary assessment tools serve diverse purposes and might be useful, particularly when we are trying to broaden our food horizons (aka eating with more variety).
Going through a checklist may help to tick off essentials (for example, veggies or water).
As long as we don’t get too preoccupied and keep it applicable to...

Hi everybody.
Informative conversation about guidelines, thank you. I enjoyed reading recommendations from different countries, and do agree that many of these are quite similar and based around consumption of a variety of foods, particularly plant foods, such as vegetables, grain, fruit…
Good to keep in mind that dietary guidelines are just guides that...

Hello everybody! What a great discussion we are having about definition of mental health. Clearly, mental health and mental unhealth does mean very different things for different people.
It is interesting how many of us appreciate the fluidity of different mental health states. Unpacking different components that attribute to mental health really...

@SunitaSahu I think we could view the statement about contribution through social lens. We, humans, are very social by nature thus interactions we have with others are important. What do you think?

@AlliG Not really, Alli. If our bodies were designed to heal itself given the right support, many of us would live forever. But I do believe that the right support is essential part of health and healing.

@IakovinaKoutoufa Good points here, Iakovian. Your last one re: attribution of changes in symptoms to an increase in self-efficacy/self-care is a very challenging one to unpack in practice.

@KyleeHudson very little, unfortunately. This recent systematic review provides synthesis the efficacy of either low carbohydrate or ketogenic diets for adults with existing issues but notes absence of high quality evidence https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10134254/
I don't think there is much in terms of healthy population. I will have a look... -

@AlliG I don't think it's that black and white, Alli but I do agree that many current policies could do with adjustments.

@AlliG As an Australian Accredited Practising Dietitian, I can assure you, Alli, that all dietitians provide personalised nutrition as understanding history (including health, diet, social etc) is the core of our practice.

@AlliG Fantastic, thank you for the feedback, Alli! Prof Rucklidge is a great colleague of our research centre and done a lot of work in establishing the field.

Tetyana Rocks replied to Alli G
@AlliG You'd be pleased to know, Alli, that the Australian guidelines are currently undergoing revision. It is a lengthy process because ALL available evidence need careful revision to form a set of recommendations. Let's wait and see, shall we?
-
Interesting discussion, team. I agree that the modern medicine provides as with many advantages but it is always important to 'listen to our body' and, ideally, use a mix approach where we, as individuals, can drive our own healthcare with support and guidance from our health care team. What do we think about that?
-
Great reflection, Omowumi! I look forward to you sharing some of your favourite recipes.
-
@KyleeHudson Good questions, Kylee. Vegetarian/vegan diets are a bit more challenging to assess. Usually, we (dietitians) pay attention to sources of protein, iron etc. The usual serving of nuts is about 30g per day.
-
@TheresaDavies Because it's a premium course, you are welcome to study and your pace and access all the material whenever it suits you. However, if you would like to claim your CPD hours with the RANZCP this year, you would need to pass the course and assessments this calendar year. I hope this makes sense.

@ZeldaSummers Sounds like a great variety of fermented foods, Zelda! I have to agree with you on the smell of the sauerkraut and the kimchi - it's very strong. I have a fit-for-purpose container for this, and it helps greatly with keeping the odors contained.
