"And it’s up to all of us to see it through…
So, while you may often read my words, the world still waits for you..." 🤝
I've learned many things over the years. I've also changed my mind many times.
🌱 As I believe all good, lifelong learning "practitioners" who aim to be honest in the "practice" of medicine.
👨⚕️No, I am not a doctor and I certainly don't play one on T.V. But I can attest to the fact that I have learned very much from the "non-traditional" approach to medicine over the years. I've never liked labels, so though I carry the title of "Registered Dietitian," it is blatantly clear in recent years that many of us obviously disagree on a many number of topics.
🤣 Oh, how I remember getting ridiculed online as a young dietetics student in college sharing my passion and interest in functional medicine on my own personal social media channels by nearly "famous" career dietitians. It was hilariously laughable.
😶Surprising... But childish on their part no doubt. Clearly, they didn't know me and didn't know just how solid my foundation is. They had no idea what level of ground I was standing on or how my maturity would brush their comments aside.
📚 I'll never claim to be the smartest person in the room, and hope I never see that day. I hope to learn something new every day. That's all any of us can hope for in our journey towards truth, wisdom, and service to the world around us.
🍎 At my core, I believe in the collective wisdom of the crowd. I believe in insight, education, training, and opportunity for greater health, healing, and ultimate freedom in our infinitely interconnected beings of Mind-Body-Spirit.
✊ I don't believe in competitors as much as I believe in our communal endeavors driving change in a positive, healthier direction that we all agree we surely need.
🙌I know it’s going to take all of us to get there. And there are many grand things happening worth our chance to celebrate. I will highlight some of those partnerships and initiatives below. My aim is - and has always been - to bring us together stronger than what forces drive us apart. And thankfully, many are catching on to this perspective shift and philosophy in the marketplace.
🌿 What we need is holistic, functional, integrative, and forever expanding tenants of practice working together for the best care of our shared patients and communities. From chiropractors to DOs, to MDs, to acupuncturists, and massage therapists, to RDs and CNSs, to body work practitioners who truly understand deeper healing and bioenergetics, along with additional integrations of therapy, pharmacy,, and of course health coaches all structurally encouraging and equipping patients every step of the way. Yes, we should work with clinically trained culinary nutritionists and I also believe we can collab with herbalists and maybe even try to grow some of our own food and forage like our ancestors.
🙃 Yes, you can call me crazy. Yes, I probably am. But, I will always remain relentlessly optimistic for the hope and courage that many of us have for the future of health, healing, and healthcare in this country and beyond.
💪 Because we can do better - and quite frankly - we must do better.
ZigZag Nutrition represents the pursuit we share as we strive to live this life as best as we can, learning and growing, flexing and adapting along the way to better align ourselves to the most nutritious life and lifestyle that meets our needs and nourishes our body, mind, and spirit - together.
