How often people get sick because of the circumstances they’re born into. Housing, food access, income, education, stress, transportation, these shape health more than anything we do in the hospital. If we want better health outcomes, we have to address the realities people are living in every day. 🫀 #sdoh #poverty #publichealth #prevention

“I feel like I should be doing better by now.” If you have PCOS, that thought probably feels familiar. In this week’s podcast episode, I unpack why that feeling is so common - and why it’s not a personal failure. We explore three big gaps in how PCOS is often supported: ➡️ The high rates of disordered eating that go unnoticed ➡️ How access and food insecurity affect what changes are actually possible ➡️ Why many people are diagnosed without ever truly understanding their condition We look at what the research really shows, connect it to real life, and explain why feeling stuck with PCOS isn’t about not trying hard enough — it’s about needing better-fitting support! If you’ve been doing “everything right” and still feel frustrated, this episode offers clarity, context, and a more human way forward. 🎧 Listen now- comment/DM us “podcast” for the link

I say this with love… but we need to adjust how we perceive barriers to “compliance” for our patients. From years of experience working within healthcare & in community, I found the healthcare sector often has myopic views regarding why their patients “won’t just do XYZ.” It may not be that the policy or treatment plan is not understood by the patient… it may just be that there are excessive barriers in achieving those endpoints. For example, your pediatric patient may not be taking their medications because their parents don’t have reliable transportation to get to the pharmacy, or have trouble covering the costs. Or, another example, the parents of your pediatric patient may be bedsharing with their baby because they can’t afford a crib, or don’t have a support system to help with a baby with higher needs for connection or feeding. The point is, there are often underlying social drivers that better explain health behaviors than assuming moral failure. We can adjust our expectations to meet the end goals for health, wellness, & safety. They may just look a little different than we originally imagined. I deeply understand that your time is limited, & it would take too much time to dig into the root causes of each patient’s health behavior barriers. However, there are solutions available if you’re willing to help urge your workplace to change the way they operate. Want to learn more?

Oh great she has a mic now. No but for as a health professional it really feels like we are living in the upside down. The solutions to a lot of our health problems as Americas are literally RIGHT THERE but instead we get this *gestures hands* #latinadietitian #cubandietitian #diabetes #sdoh #maha #addedsugars

Processed food #truther? What? Social determinants of health and whether someone grew up in a loving home has far more impact on one’s physical and emotional #health. And what level of processing are we talking about? And how much processed food are we talking about? You can’t tell what someone’s health status is just by looking at them. #truther #sdoh #judgement #dietitian #processedfood #welistenandwedontjudge #health #mentalhealthawareness

Social determinants of health (SDOH) are the non-medical conditions that impact a person's health outcomes, quality of life, and functioning. They encompass the environments where people live, work, learn, and age, as well as the systems and forces that shape daily life. One of the simplest examples is someone who can’t go for a walk or run as exercise because they live in an unsafe neighborhood or a neighborhood not conducive to pedestrians. When we make health entirely about personal choices and “willpower,” we create an excuse for systems that are keeping people unwell from changing! . . . #PublicHealth #FoodSystems #Sustainability #ClimateChange #SDOH #SocialDeterminantsOfHealth #Willpower #75Hard #SummerBody

I’m still trying to process but honestly I know NONE of this is about me. But it absolutely is about why the work that we do at @aakomaproject , @mentalwealthalliance and so many other organizations **that center and amplify the unique mental health needs of racially diverse people** are so important. Early reports point to #drantoinettecandidabailey feeling isolated, along with harassed and bullied by someone in her workplace, who was not a person of color, and we cannot ignore the racial cultural component of the struggles that Dr. Bonnie experienced. If we ignore those, we do her and others like her a grave disservice. And when we ignore those unique cultural and racial components of mental health challenges, particularly in spaces like the workplace or in school, we minimize the pain and we make people feel unseen, unheard, and undervalued. So for me, this just points to a larger issue of why it is so critical that we all uplift, we all support, and we all recognize why the unique experiences of people with marginalized identities are central in our understanding of how to uplift and support everyone’s mental health. #lovelightscience

We all have access to different parts of diabetes care at different parts of our life, but we do ourselves a disservice when we don’t address that diabetes management doesn’t come down to one or two things, it comes down to several — and not all of them are things within our control. #diabeteseducation #diabetesawareness #type1diabetes #type2diabetes #healthcoach #diabetesnutrition #sdoh #nutrition #bloodsugar

“Many experts note that only about 20% of health outcomes come from clinical care… ~80% from social, behavioral, environmental factors.” If we want fewer hospitalizations, we have to invest outside the hospital.

What is health (in terms of public health)? Health is the complex interactions of the determinants of health. Health is determined through the social, political, and structural determinants. Social determinants of health – the places we live, work, play, and live affect health. Political determinants of health – how government, policy, and commercial interest affect health. Structural determinants of health – how economic systems, social systems, and structural discrimination affect health. All people (and communities) are interacting with the dynamic systems that surround their daily lives. Health of communities is determined by the overlapping interactions of various determinants of health. What does health mean to you? #publichealth #sdoh #health

🇺🇸(6:30min) Treatment dosage is a controversial topic in ABA because many behavior analysts are not trained in how to determine how many hours to recommend. We usually learn about medical necessity when we get to our first job, and clinical judgment is something that takes time to develop. Toby and colleagues developed a tool to assist in selecting treatment dosaage. Have you read this article? What are your thoughts? Were you formally trained about medical necessity and a step-by-step procedure to determine treatment dosage? Can’t wait to hear about your experience in the comments! Reference: Toby, L.
