Being a pelvic health specialist, I always ask my clients who is working on their care team; in many cases, they'll say they're working with a nutritionist which gets my brain wheels turning.
If you're dealing with stuff like chronic constipation, IBS, interstitial cystitis, leaking, Chron's Disease, etc, it's probably a good idea to check out whether any of your symptoms are diet-related: BUT, are you consulting the right person?
Literally anyone can call themselves a nutritionist and, in some states, you don't even need to have a background/education/training IN nutrition to do so. Insane, right?! But, there are ways to tell whether your nutrition consultant is actually qualified to help you with specific dietary guidelines that are individualized to YOUR needs: and we are uncovering what to look for today!
Healthcare is a difficult territory for women to navigate, as many of us are left feeling dismissed and unheard, our concerns being chalked up to being a "crazy woman" who just needs to lose weight (BARF). That shit ends here and now. Today, we take back our health and speak up: because no one else is gonna do it for us.
