DAY IN THE LIFE as a vegan DIETITIAN NUTRITIONIST // applesandamandas

[@pearlmiran205]

LOVE hearing this. i'm a new nurse on a cardiac telemetry unit, so diet and nutrition is SO important for our patients. i get a lot of post-CABG patients, many of whom are medically complicated because of co-morbidities like renal disease and diabetes, so our dietitians are SO key to helping us and teaching us nurses. BE EMPOWERED GIRL

[@alwaysneed2learn806]

I appreciate hearing the case studies from the perspective of a RD. I had 12" of my colon removed in college and was also on a J-Tube for a year... Surprisingly, I NEVER received proper support from a nutritional standpoint. THANK YOU for going into this field as it is clear you truly care about the patients.

[@shannonoconnell5126]

So glad you're making these videos! I'm a freshman in college working on becoming a registered dietitian and also have been vegan for 3 years so it's cool to see how someone else can work these lifestyle choices in together. Awesome job girl!

[@abbieamavi]

*ok, I just wanna say how badass and inspiring you are. Not too long ago you were looking for a job, now look where you are! I love how I’m not in the medical field at all but I love your videos and they help me learn. Keep it up queen* 👑💛

[@sanne4419]

I really want to become a dietician! It's gonna be a long road but I think food science is so interesting!

[@hannashane4157]

Wooooo!! Go you! You can do it!!✌❤

[@nicolewaithera1814]

Me too! I'm studying to be one :) good luck!

[@alllls113]

23 yr old new and fresh RD here as well...have been working as an RD since December; working 2 PRN clinical jobs and i can totally relate to the brain fatigue after work hhahh. its seriously exhausting somedays. Love listening to your case studies so i can test my knowledge and hear other thought processes haha!

[@eelkeaptroot1393]

So awesome you're sharing your work day and worries with us, Amanda! When you keep that fish eye lens far away enough, it actually looks like a normal camera.

[@BrianTurnerOfficial]

You're awesome Amanda :) I'm using a small clip from this vlog because I talk about you in the video I'm putting up this weekend (talking about all different types of vegans, you are in my dietician/nutritionist section along with derek simnett)

[@amandavsevilla]

OMG YESSSS thank you so much Brian!! I can't wait to watch!! You are the bomb

[@natalieblue27]

A suggestion for your patient - could someone sit with him and encourage him to finish his meals? Either you, his favourite nurse or a family member (obviously someone you've had a chat with so they know how important it is for him to eat more). Perhaps sitting with him and actively encouraging him through meals like you would a small child might help?

[@nickbscgl]

I love these videos! I’m a dietetics student and I want to go into clinical so these types of videos are super insightful

[@xstrobelightx9]

omg so proud of you girl I've been watching your journey for a long time and so glad that you are finally working in your element, as a vegan who is going back for nursing I hope I get to work with you one day!!!

[@CassieTranthesuperfitbabe]

Those vegan brownies look freaking fabulous! The case study was also SUPER DUPER intriguing too. It sounds incredibly complex and you are so intelligent to recognize it and its importance!

[@thelagunasfamily7766]

I’ve been binge watching your videos for two days and already I’ve decided I want to try doing yoga every day for a year to help my postpartum anxiety after having twins. Also adopt a vegan plant based diet because your food looks bomb and i always took the vegan approach the wrong way but now I’m learning so much from you!!!❤️

[@maychan9642]

love love love these vlogs! currently studying nutrition and dietetics myself so these are super interesting :) x

[@Sajadela]

These vids are so interesting! I'm just finishing my Masters in Nutrition, more of a research pathway but we also do non-medical clinical nutrition so it's interesting to get an insight into what the hospital situation involves. It does look really interesting.

[@Jordan-oh8ef]

Also could he see a psychologist to see how is mental health is which could also effect his appetite? I seriously love these case studies, I'm getting into malnutrition next week.

[@plantbasedmarie]

Congratulations!!....I would love to see some newly "what I eat in a day"

[@BeautyConfidence101]

the cases you share are so cool to learn about. I cant wait to start school!

[@taciturntaty]

good luck w your pt amanda! hopefully the doctor ups the dose on the appetite stimulant. if not i guess it’s best to have tube feeding recs in your note just in case the doctor decides to do that now that the gut is working. he’ll never heal properly if he doesn’t get the proper protein and kcals.

[@neenuchambial6293]

I am too... A clinical dietitian.

[@robertstanley9633]

Can we get an update with this case study? Just curious if you were able to turn around this patient's situation. BTW, 7:02 is the reason why we need more dietitians on board or physicians who emphasize more on nutrition when approaching their patients. My salute.

[@kimbondi6711]

I have a lot of these issues. Not on tpn anymore. I don’t have a colon. I have a j pouch. I talked to a nutritionist bc my insurance wanted me to. She said to eat 1800 which I eat way more then and told me I have eating disorder tendencies bc I purée my fruits/veggies that my body won’t absorb. I’ve been catching up/binging your videos and I wish I had your advice instead of the other professionals I’ve scene the last ten years. Do you do personal coaching? I eat very similar to you. Ty for sharing all your knowledge with me. It’s been very helpful! ✌🏼

[@margaretjones6480]

You mentioned depression. This is another area that needs to be addressed as depression can affect appetite. Is he in therapy?

[@azizj29]

wheres your teddy coat from????

[@park.jasmin333]

I'm on my way to becoming a Dietitian as well, in school for Nutrition then will be getting a second degree in mainly Dietetics. I love your videos, especially hearing about your experiences working. Makes me excited for what's to come. 😊

[@samanthabeatty5494]

Yayyyyy back at itttt 💞

[@yeannie1056]

Hi, I really need some advice. I’m currently taking a degree in accounting and finance (parent’s choice), and honestly it’s not a field that I am interested and passionate about. All I wanted was to study nutrition, but my friends and family don’t believe that this field is not a good option as it is “unprofitable” in their opinion. But I really want to take a degree course in nutrition because that’s all I care about and I know that I will be able to help many people. Is there a way for me to take nutrition degree courses online?because I can’t physically attend two university at once. And are there any recommendations for good college for online nutrition degrees? Or should I just not be too ambitious and stick to accounting and finance?

[@StayMoEmpireEmpower]

I wish Greys Anatomy would feature a registered dietitian!! Have yet to see one...would be so cool for a complicated GI pt! Any other RDs agree?!

[@ThePringle268]

Wow, this was SO interesting! Okay - that sounded incredibly sarcastic 😂 but I am genuinely serious, this sort of stuff just keeps me 100% engaged. I am sure you feel so fulfilled as a dietician 😊

[@ladynicolas3700]

Any tips for a 3 year vegan with adult acne (20) ? I eat really healthy I believe it’s my soy intake

[@MadiThompsonMusic]

Nicole Isbored I’ve also been struggling with adult acne, I would recommend getting your hormones tested as that may be the issue

[@emilystorck9560]

I've heard too much b12 can cause it? Like most sprays/tablets are actually way more than your body actually needs. Maybe try only taking your b12 every other day

[@darcym1948]

Nicole - I am a 3 year vegan too and had acne my whole adult life (35) - until a few months ago. I recently gave up coffee and at the same switched from peanut butter to almond butter and my skin is now completely clear!!! I am not sure which was the offender, the PB or the coffee, but try cutting those and see what happens? I had given up years ago on my acne as I thought I had tried everything...

[@valerie7074]

Hi Amanda :) I was wondering if you could update us on your non-hormonal contraception experience? I am considering it but would like your opinion! Thaanks :)

[@saoasa2301]

I am studying fashion design but I live for these videos haha so nice watching and hearing about your day, xx Janka

[@amandavsevilla]

I am SO GRATEFUL for your support!!! You are a REAL 1!!

[@EvolutionofMasha]

Loved hearing about your day!

[@PetBunnyDebbie]

Do you recommend any appetite suppressants for people whose obesity endangers their life?

[@sunvavachi]

Aw poor guy. Sounds like everything is so hard for the patient. Have they done a check up on his mental status? Like a Montreal test. And to try an SSRI to improve his overall mind? If he is bed ridden those wounds may be coming due to those due to less circulation. The appetite stimulant can only do so much. I think an SSRI + small increase in stimulant can help! Maybe try that! Some patients encounter depression on par to post surgery and sounds like his case is classic for it and he already is in renal failure too. He must be really down which is suppressing his appetite naturally. He just needs to be happy again! That's my medical take on it!

[@Jordan-oh8ef]

Would a liquid diet work? Since liquids don't really affect appetite and can be high in calories so then he would be getting more energy to heal his wounds etc. Then could you increase the appetite drug as well until he has an appetite back and then switch him back to a solid diet? Your channel is great! I'm a student dietitian in my third year of study.

[@charitypratt2042]

What dietary advice do you give your patients? Do you sway them toward a plant based diet?

[@lauramint9340]

hi amanda! maybe is dumb but can you advice wfpb/ vegan diet to your patients? if you do, does your colleagues question that? sorry for my English :/ love from Chile!

[@shymaaj1254]

she mentioned that in her last video in the dietician vlogs

[@HaleyMorganB]

LOL I love the walnut bit at the end

[@KaliAlexandria]

I love this! So exciting to be a dietician!

[@goldalopez]

I learned really! Nice case 🤓 very insightful thank you for inspiring meeee

[@MsJessEmpress]

Love your videos! I am also an aspiring RD. I applied for admission this fall. Still waiting to hear back. Side note: What kind of camera do you use?

[@amandavsevilla]

Best of luck my dear! I used a Canon vixia mini x

[@evrydae]

Hi!! Are you wearing the Alo Yoga teddy coat?

[@arlene1212]

My Dad's on Kidney Dialysis 3 times a week (he's 95) it truly does all you said, I've been on top of this with his Doctor's and research, they must eat (Protien) etc. It's a tuff situation......

[@alananu7591]

Can i do my Msc nutrition&dietetics abroad with bsc in India?Plzzz reply

[@beautikissbritt3193]

Hi love, I just got accepted to transfer to UTSA for the dual major nutrition & dietitian masters program! Do you have any advice to give? 🙏🏻🤞🏼

[@neenuchambial6293]

I am too... A vegan.

[@amandavsevilla]

Hahah I love it!!!

[@drexelmiravite3672]

Wow. This video was actually pretty educational. Including the walnuts part. :)

[@nyxzyhandmyxzyh5256]

Hi Amanda I love your content. I have a question how to be a vegan dietitian nutritionist for free or getting scholarship. Im a mother of two and 10years vegan. Thank you and domore informative videos

[@cozyverbena1574]

What camera did you use for blogging? :)

[@amandavsevilla]

Canon vixia mini x :)

[@leilaponziani7141]

This was so interesting! A shame that you forgot vlogging at the end of the day haha, lovexx

[@allieessen906]

I love trying new skincare brand

[@francescapaige3187]

Do you have to wear flat shoes in your profession ?

[@kaeviktoria]

when I saw the ice I was like " don't you live in California" wow!

[@AmyBunnageWellness]

Ah those brownies looked amazing!!

[@user-le4dx7gs2o]

She said if you live here when referring to the yoga but didn’t actually say where she lives?

[@nutristefany]

I study nutrition in Brazil

[@hannahrose7745]

Wait nooo you’re missing out on cracking walnuts the proper way. You line up one with the seam of the other and squeeze (yes it’s an arm workout😜) and it’ll crack open! seeing you do it with the knife scared me so much

[@bensarsagayo7133]

I think the patient is not in good appetite because of the change of taste (rust taste) i think because of elevated creatinine levels. I think you have to try to serve cold foods for the patient... 😅

[@amandavsevilla]

hmmm that would have been good too

[@vizion4]

Blue blockers on point 😎😏

[@OhHeyKathy]

what kind of doctor does not believe in TPN.... what the heck

[@amandavsevilla]

There aren't too many studies showing the efficacy of it vs theory... But I'm not a disbeliever either

[@allieessen906]

Do you wear glasses ?

[@Antihero687]

Maybe if the patient smoked some weed his appetite would come back. I know two girls with terrible gut issues and medicinal marijuana was the only thing that helped them

[@11Hillers12]

Elly Bean probably would be a good idea if he was ever discharged but you can’t give medical marijuana in hospitals even if it’s legal in the state you practice in because it’s still illegal on the federal level.
