I am learning a lot about how the counseling tools we learned at BG can really be used. I've tried to listen more and soak up the patients life before I even say anything. I hope to really be able to use it in a counseling setting one day. On Thursday I gave the Sweeteners talk at a diabetes support group in Stanford. We had about 5 individuals and they came from all different prospectives. Some weren't familiar with most sweeteners, while a few used them on a regular basis.
I like this aspect of community nutrition, although Julie has stressed to me the limited time she has for it. She is fully devoted to the health department 37.5 hours a week, yet still suggested to run weight loss programs and classes. Some can be done during hours, but she is likely to still be scheduled to see patients.
I am getting really excited about my program for the project and I hope nothing falls through where I need to change it. Its focused on upcoming college students.
