-Help equip our medical trainees learn HOW to approach patients that don't read the textbook with curiosity & compassion.

[Patients with Power @PtsWithPower]

Can we normalise patients knowing more than their doctor about their medical conditions?
Sometimes it happens.

What we should eat.
What we shouldn’t eat.

What lessons did you learn along with grandma’s or mom’s secret recipes?

#dietculture #lifestylemedicine #naturevsnurture

[Kara Wada, MD @CrunchyAllergy]

Nourishing our bodies is primal.
Eating is tied so much to our culture.
Our identity.

We learn so many lesson watching our moms or grandmas in the kitchen.

[Kara Wada, MD @CrunchyAllergy]

Observing techniques.
Listening. Absorbing.
Like little sponges.
Perceptions.
Values.
They brush off on us along with the recipes.

@shaunah07 They are probably still talking about the relation between shellfish and contrast allergies too. 😑

A new TikTok challenge encourages taking large numbers of #Benadryl in order to hallucinate. After it caused the death of a young boy in Ohio, his family is speaking out. #OSUWexMed's @CrunchyAllergy explains why this challenge is so dangerous. https://t.co/MRlhtpnhEb

[Kara Wada, MD @CrunchyAllergy]

Unless you have Celiac or a true food allergy the science is lacking to support strict avoidance strategies (at least for the long term).

What else do we need to flip the script on?

[Kara Wada, MD @CrunchyAllergy]

I see so much fear-mongering with food avoidance-- sadly it is an extension of the diet culture we have been force-fed for decades (pun intended).
I prefer to ask "What can we ADD or just simply swap to increase the nutrients in our diet?"
