DAY IN THE LIFE as a vegan DIETITIAN (malnutrition + working with doctors)

[@amandavsevilla]

im really sorry that my feet were the first thing you saw if you get extremely offended by feet. i promise my other vlogs don't start like that » bit.ly/DietitianVlogs

[@SoniaElsie]

applesandamandas I’m offended by feet 😤😤😤😤

[@caitlinoxley6613]

I can’t believe your feet said that! Still upset😤😂

[@Ονομαεπίθετο-ξ1υ]

you have very lovely feet , I would love to massage them.

[@prayas2763]

We love you, your tiny feet and shoes♥️😁

[@OswaldDigestiveClinic]

LOL!

[@almondmilk88]

It’s crazy to see how much you’ve grown. Been watching you for years and seeing you transforming from a college student to a dietitian that helps people daily just makes me feel some type of way haha. So proud of you and everything you’ve accomplished. Keep up with the good work☺️ and stay positive always💜

[@amandavsevilla]

Thank you Mia!! Crazy I was just thinking about how most people on KZbin/social media are already established or have already gone through their dream career (or have quit school and went into blogging) while I am just letting everyone in on my whole dang journey lmao

[@almondmilk88]

applesandamandas couldn't agree more. Seeing how most youtubers quit chasing after their career goals for youtube isn't exactly motivational to watch. Not trying to shame or judge because as long as they're happy, it's not my business and it's all that matters. However, watching you actually go through the journey of partaking in the medical field inspires me to do the same. You stuck with your goal and continue to thrive with it, expanding your knowledge while saving lives. This is the type of person i hope to become. Ty and ❤️ u 😊 hopefully I'll be on the medical track soon, just like you(:

[@SsesssGamB]

im a greek student dietitan, and you have inspired me to be more open at the idea of working in clinic. I was always afraid the hospital invorment, but you are showing us that is okay, and it's so nice to work with others dietitians. Also it seems a lot of fun. ! I really appeciaty your case study explanation at the end of the video. Literally i didn't know that we can do a serious physical exams as a dietitians, without the doctor next to us. Sorry for my extremely bad english, but it's not my first language. hihi .

As a dietetic student myself, I find these videos super helpful! Thank you for making these types of videos!

I am about to begin a Master's/coordinated program and your positivity towards the field is so contagious and reminds me why I'm pursuing this path!

[@alllls113]

Love your RD day in the lifes and case studies. Im an RD as well... pretty fresh into it as i just finished my internship last November; have been working as an RD since December and passed my exam this past Feb. Really enjoy hearing your thought process behind patients. Its funny, as you speak about your patients and talk about questions you would ask I was playing the questions I would ask in my head and seeing if they matched up lol.

[@amandavsevilla]

That's awesome!! Man I hope I stay on top of my clinical brain but make sure you tell me if you'd do anything different for any upcoming ones. I love to get different perspectives ❤️

Currently a student at MSU Denver and due to graduate at the end of Dec. I haven't began the application process for an internship (I know... I'm waaaaay late.) But I just wanted to say stumbling upon your videos has given me a HUGE boost as far as motivation goes. Being a full time student and working a full time job while also dealing with other stressors and financial issues has been hard and had me doubting my ability to get through this... (and I haven't even started the internship, yikes! Haha) But I have to say watching these videos has given me some push to get through this. Thank you and please do not stop posting dietitian vlogs!

[@user-ek6fn8oz3z]

Hey amanda, my dietitian has strongly advised me to start consuming animal protein and dairy. I have been vegan for 4 years and really dont want to, and in my head ive always thought that a plant based diet is the healthiest, but i respect that she knows much more than me. Would it be best to take her advice?

[@GiamoniCooper]

Question for ya lady. Do you feel as though because you are on a plant based diet that you recommend a plant base diet over the balanced meat & veggie diet?

[@miah6613]

Giamoni Cooper i really am curious about this too

[@destinyrockstar66]

I LOVE THIS! feel so informative watching these ❤️

[@amandavsevilla]

Oh I'm so happy you like them! What would you like to see in the next ones?

[@sarahratzloff]

love seeing you working as a RD while also being vegan! i know you've mentioned before that you cant always recommend going plant based to all your patients cause its obviously a case by case situation and you need to find what works best for them but i like seeing that you try to promote more plant based options! my dad just had open heart surgery and when they were talking with my mom about him needing to adopted a heart healthy diet she said that my brother and i wanted him to go vegan (which yes we'd love but my parents arent in good health and honestly all i want is for them to eat cleaner and get healthier cause tbh im incredibly scared for them) but after my mom mentioned vegan, the dietitian immediately shut her down and was saying that no one can be healthy on a vegan diet and it was honestly very discouraging to hear that she said that cause i know its made my dad conflicted on how to feel cause he had recently started to incorporate more plant based foods into his diet regularly :(( i know theyre gonna look around to hopefully find someone that can help them figure out a good diet for him and i hope they offer at least some plant based options for him cause i know hes curious about it! but enough about my family! i just wanted to say, ive been following you since you moved back to California from Boston (i think it was boston??) and its been so amazing to see you go from a college student in a dorm to working as an RD and i just wanted to let you know im very proud of you! youre gonna do amazing things amanda!

[@laurenurie9214]

@@amandavsevilla Currently I am studying environmental science, but I've had a strong interest in nutrition growing up and still do. I was considering changing my major to dietetics, but was told by a counselor that only 1/2 of students get an internship. I am not a bad student, but that does worry me since my first year of college was my worst year I have ever had academically. I was working full time with school and taking care of my grandpa (+ other things in my personal life). I also have noticed that where I live (though I'm somewhat open to moving after graduation) there are very few openings for dietitians. Presently I see myself continuing with environmental science and hopefully working in outreach, utilizing writing and design to educate the public.

Hi Amanda, would you please provide specific details for the case studies for example include the lab values glucose blood, cholesterol, and the signs and symptoms ( in typped format like the table 7-9 ) and then treatment considerations. I do like case studies. Also would be interesting if you can elaborate on what approaches you use to build rapport with each patient for the case study. I know some RD follow specific methods like CBT

[@Jordan-oh8ef]

If someone is malnourished and has gone through chemotherapy so their food preference/food tastes have changed and they can only eat soft food or cold food, what do you recommend in that case. I'm curious because we had to do a simulation on malnutrition. I'm a 3rd year dietetics student 😊

[@foodie9988]

Do you give vegan diet plans for patients in hospital?

[@sonal3245]

I have low BMI and after my weight loss my hair started failling I have low vitamin d and low ferretin what should I do any suggestions...PLZZ tell me..

[@dianashostak7293]

Sonal Chauhan this all kind of depends on how you’re eating. If you’re not vegan you could drink milk fortified with vitamin D, and do you mean you have low keratin? If so you could try taking hair and nail supplements, you could usually find a supplement that’s specifically for hair, skin, and nails. I would also say make sure you’re eating enough calories, especially fruits and vegetables. Hope this helps!

[@jllum]

@@dianashostak7293 I think this person means low ferritin, as in low iron levels, which isn't uncommon when one isn't eating enough in general.

[@marcellenaceja3585]

Make sure you are eating enough calories. If you aren't getting enough sunlight everyday, you could just take vitamin D supplements (I take My Kind vitamin D personally, because I live in a cloudy area). Vitamin D is a common deficiency. For low ferratin, which means low iron, try eating foods high in iron like spinach, beans, etc. or iron-fortified foods. Pair iron rich foods with vitamin C rich foods also. This helps with absorption. Avoid pairing iron rich foods with calcium rich foods, as well as coffee or tea, because this can inhibit absorption of iron. You could also take a supplement for iron as well.

Really interesting! I am surprised though that the official advice still is to use low fat products (usually full of added sugar) and refined vegetable oils like canola?

Obviously overall vegan can be really healthy but not if using loads of refined carbs and oils…

[@meganhansen8887]

Hey Amanda! Great video! Thank you for talking about your life as a dietitian! I do have a couple questions about the case study. When you were talking to that patient, did it seem like she "wanted" to get better? (Does that make sense?) I understand that patients who come in in an "altered state" of mind, or health, a lot of the time could exhibit anorexic eating/day to day patterns? Also! Can you, as a dietitian, basically tell the doctor or nurse, that the patient you are working with has something like IBD or ulceritive colitis, etc.? Thank you! These are super interesting to watch (:

[@amandavsevilla]

Hey megan! thank for watching me blabber about my profession haha. with that patient, yes, she wanted to get better but didn’t feel good enough to eat but wanted to... if that makes sense. I could express my concerns to the drs and nurses but I can’t make an official diagnosis. generally if an RD can catch something like that, then it would obviously be IBD/ulcerative colitis and the professional team would look more into it.
