When you’ve obtained not already, the drill, merely head on over to iTunes or Spotify and depart us some stars. Drop a overview. We’ll almost certainly examine it on this podcast.

So if individuals do not alter to you on Instagram, they need to, on account of in my concepts, you’re the meme queen, and I am curious, the place do you get the inspiration to create all these good meals routine memes? And does it come naturally to you or is it, I do not know. I merely truly actually really feel akin to you do such an exquisite job at it.
Clara Nosek: My God, thanks.
It comes from my over consumption of tv and social media. I’m what some could establish chronically on-line, so I’m like regularly consuming content material materials supplies, which I am attempting truly. I am really attempting to not as tons anymore or being additional conscious of how I scroll. However I contemplate that the communication a part of it comes really from being a father or mother.
So I take into consideration how I converse factors to my children. Hmm. Like really troublesome cuz my daughter will ask me similar to the craziest questions and I actually wanna honor her curiosity. And so I attempt to convey that very same to my content material materials supplies on account of it is like, how can I clarify this very troublesome thought. In a really concise, humorous means, so meaning will perhaps be additional efficiently acquired usually.
Set off generally it is, I get in little tiffs correct proper right here and there. Yeah.
Jess Jones: Are like with the RD neighborhood or.
Clara Nosek: Yeah. RD neighborhood. Usually it is merely individuals passing by way of. Okay. Nevertheless when it’s a thought that goes within the course of present thought that you simply simply merely may need any biase you may want in place, one factor that you simply simply merely presently know, having one issue query that might be jarring.
And so I am not averse to being met with like resistance and like type of having to stroll any individual by way of that thought course of. And so, which is why I truly actually really feel like I’ve really embraced infographics. Yeah, on account of it type of is type of a very easy, simplistic means, which is humorous on account of like that’s type of how I see it in my ideas before.
So like generally I will like have an thought and I will equal to ideas dump it this mess onto a bit little bit of paper after which from there I can like take out what I would love and like make a reasonably graphic on Canva. Yeah.
Wendy Lopez: And put Exact Housewives on it,
Clara Nosek: right? I contemplate it is like little razel dazzle, little razel dazzle, little spice.
Wendy Lopez: I point out, yeah. Make it barely additional
Clara Nosek: fascinating. Make it relatable. Yeah.
Wendy Lopez: Yeah. That looks like an exquisite selling tactic. And like it is necessary to do all of our graphics. We wish assist in that division. So we’re gonna discuss social determinants of correctly being, which is a really troublesome. Matter. Mm-hmm. And I am joyful that we’re bringing you on to debate it on account of there’s like quite a few nuance there and I do not even know that I utterly perceive social determinants of correctly being.
So I contemplate it is going to possible be good to out at like, what does that even point out and why does it matter virtually in regards to the meals that we’re
Clara Nosek: consuming? Yeah. Okay. So social determinants of correctly being. They’re principally like all of the factors in your life which is able to have an effect on your correctly being. So similar to the place you reside, the place you might be employed, the place you play, the place you look at any of these factors alongside aspect like your genetics and the way in which through which that impacts your correctly being outcomes.
So if say an individual lives in a neighborhood with out entry to factors like newest greens and fruit, They won’t have entry to all of the dietary nutritional vitamins that their physique would possibly need. Yeah. I truly like
Jess Jones: that reply. Fairly easy. What about, okay, so with the healthcare system often, I contemplate quite a few instances the healthcare system can fail us virtually about social determinants of correctly being on account of they make factors very easy and one dimensional like.
You have acquired diabetes, so subsequently it is very important cut back out all these items and eat this and it is gonna be solved. Do you’re feeling similar to the healthcare system contributes to inequalities virtually about correctly being outcomes? And the way in which through which do you type of see that play out as a dietician who works in in healthcare?
Clara Nosek: Sure. Okay.
So I ponder it very tons. Did you guys watch Clueless? Equivalent to the film? Finally. Okay, so that line as if really, so similar to the healthcare system in America is type of a full on Monet, right from far-off it appears to be like good, nonetheless like up shut. It is a big outdated fable, right? So quite a few these elements which is more likely to be thought-about in social determinants of correctly being which is more likely to be exterior of the medical system can negatively impact an individual’s correctly being outcomes.
After which once you mix that with. The racism, the discrimination, the biases that aren’t checked contained within the healthcare system. It type of compounds these inequities and makes it extra sturdy for individuals, notably these in marginalized communities to have entry to bigger quality healthcare. And so akin to you get individuals who.
Every can’t afford it, right? So like Bipo of us are most additional inclined to be uninsured or underinsured, which suggests they cannot afford to get the healthcare that they want. After which as quickly as they do search the care, as quickly as they’re like, all right, constructive, it is time to go. It is generally met. With these biases, these unchecked internalized biases, racism, discrimination from the suppliers, which in the long term then will perpetuate that harm right then that they are like, I am not gonna take heed to this particular particular person.
They do not get me, they do not see me, they don’t seem to be listening. What is the stage of going? And so it type of is fairly like this vicious cycle of like a state of unwell and. It’s type of lots additional than merely the healthcare system. So these communities usually are sometimes meals deserts or in meals apartheid and the place they do not have entry to love newest meals, greens and fruit, proteins like which is more likely to be obtainable.
For them. They’re sometimes locations which is more likely to be in bigger polluted areas. They is possibly unsafe contained in the, within the case of like merely the world. They won’t have areas for like sidewalks for strolling, right? So quite a few the instances you get this advice, right? The American Coronary coronary coronary heart Affiliation recommends 150 minutes of low cost practice day-to-day or not day-to-day, weekly.
How will you try this if the place you reside is unsafe? How will you try this? Must you should not have entry to parks to stroll spherical, you should not have sidewalks to soundly stroll on the freeway. You do not maintain in an home that like feels secure ample to stroll spherical in. And it is type of like all these little factors tend to assemble up and so it is working because of it’s presupposed to.
I contemplate quite a few Western drugs treats indicators. And so for a lot of who ponder drugs in that lens, then it is engaged on account of it is quite a few these are your indicators. Let’s maintain that, no draw again. However there isn’t any such factor as a exact attending to the concept matter of quite a few these correctly being outcomes that we’re seeing. Yeah, and I truly actually really feel
Wendy Lopez: like meals and put together are generally on the forefront of the options which is more likely to be given.
It is like, eat all of these things, and it is like, yeah, these conversations about entry are regularly missed. I am questioning with social determinants of correctly being, like what are some factors that. You assume have to be thought-about that most likely quite a few healthcare suppliers, together with dieticians is not going to look into that may impact our consuming decisions.
I do know you talked about meals entry being like a extremely giant one the place you reside, poverty, factors like that. However what are one different factors that is possibly barely
Clara Nosek: additional nuanced? I contemplate that it’ll possible be really good to guage. Like make it a part of the consumption to guage historic earlier or present standing of meals insecurity.
Hmm. Appropriate. So even for a lot of who’re not presently going by the use of meals insecurity, for a lot of who had meals insecurity as a toddler, for a lot of who confronted it in early maturity, like these hostile life outcomes occasions, yeah. May have ripples, right, that you simply simply merely is not going to like consciously take into consideration, nonetheless it’d present up in top-of-the-line ways in which you simply merely select to eat meals.
And so quite a few the instances you see healthcare professionals type of with a sweeping advice to keep away from all breads, , pastas, tortillas, any of these. Staple meals and it’s in that advice that there’s that triggering of restriction the place there’s not a bodily restriction, nonetheless you will nonetheless have that like psychological thought, that anguish and really actually really feel type of that very same insecurity that was there before.
So I contemplate like assessing for that’s really crucial. Assessing for secure housing. Are you employed? Are you, do you should have transportation? And I contemplate they try this. Now, most likely, most likely not. However yeah, so I contemplate doing these, so like I work contained in the correctly being training division at my hospital and now we have a protracted itemizing of neighborhood property, nonetheless I contemplate quite a few utterly completely different departments is not going to take into consideration these.
And so I contemplate it is really crucial for clinicians to type of have. That reference to their area people to know like, the place are the meals banks? The place are the help functions? The place are the job educating functions? Or at the very least know the place to direct victims to. I furthermore assume that we should always all the time on a regular basis really begin addressing correctly being literacy together with digital literacy.
So it is not going to mainly should be a healthcare matter. It should, right? Due to all the objects is digital now. You have acquired quite a few your physician communications like out of your cellphone, nonetheless like serving to victims uncover strategies to check all, like do they know top-of-the-line methods to check ? Do they know top-of-the-line methods to assemble a meal? Do they know top-of-the-line methods to navigate healthcare functions?
We’re all presupposed to be conserving a cu up on ethics. Appropriate as dieticians, I contemplate together with a required CU on patient-centered care, like at the very least trauma educated care is principally crucial as efficiently, on account of I contemplate quite a few these. Life occasions really play a major function in top-of-the-line ways in which an individual lives their life.
And so like if we’re an individual and attempting to produce them medical meals routine therapy, attempting to produce them healthcare, now we have to love really strive the entire particular particular person. Yeah. Versus equal to the symptom that is like on the bottom stage. Appropriate, and
Jess Jones: I truly actually really feel like that is what sometimes occurs is it is merely the bottom stage indicators or I contemplate it is docs making quite a few assumptions about individuals based totally completely on their biases or simply stereotypes and on no account even really taking the time to know, akin to you might be saying, who this particular particular person is.
What’s our correctly being literacy. Digital literacy too, I contemplate is so crucial. I, these are all really good options. So let’s take it additional to a private lens. In order an illustration any specific individual’s listening or they’ve a member of the family who does not have meals safety, and doubtless it is not straightforward to make nutrient dense meals decisions.
There are quite a few obstacles in top-of-the-line methods, like I mentioned, not having entry. What are some factors that you simply simply merely advocate individuals get began with inside the event that they’re feeling like entry is the first matter that is conserving them? From consuming an extra nutrient dense
Clara Nosek: weight discount plan. So I regularly like begin with stage one as like consuming is one issue, one issue is regularly bigger than nothing.
And that is like really similar to the toughest half, right? Due to quite a few the instances I. You are getting quite a few this meals is poisonous, that is poison, that is unhealthy, this oth carbs are unhealthy, fat are unhealthy. Protein’s unhealthy to your coronary coronary coronary heart. And like all of those conflicting messages, after which it is time to eat. And it is like, efficiently, I do not know what to eat, so I am, I am not gonna eat one factor.
And that’s like, step one, one issue is regularly bigger than nothing. After which step two is what I need to, I will establish, I will establish it their besties. So your protein and your carbohydrate, these are the besties. And as rapidly as we’re able to get contained in the habits of like, breakfast is a protein and a , lunch is a protein and a carb dinner is a protein and carb, then I am like, I am like, okay, let’s ramp it up.
Appropriate? After which I type of herald similar to the plate methodology, after which that is as quickly as I actually rigorously, rigorously, rigorously emphasize the enjoyable of comfort meals, frozen greens and fruit, canned greens and fruit. Dried grains, beans, PEs, legumes, all of these. So quite a few these are very funds good.
There is a, a query of whether or not or not or not or not there’s a spot to soundly retailer them as quickly as we discuss like frozen or perishable devices in that performance. However usually you most likely can every do like a dried good or one factor like that. So then that is as quickly as I type of herald, I truly similar to the plate methodology, so then I type of do like, okay, can we get half a plate of greens?
Can we get a palm measurement serving of a protein after which one completely different fist or a cupped hand of a carbohydrate? I am like, and I do not, I do not really care what sort of carbohydrate is it’s on account of like quite a few the instances individuals might be discovered, they’re like, my physician advised me I am unable to have white rice anymore, nonetheless I do not like brown rice, so I am merely not gonna eat one factor.
And it is like, so that they’ve been consuming nothing, right? They have been consuming veggies and a protein, and so they additionally’re like, I am so drained continuously. And so they additionally’re like, , I, I merely drank espresso. And so then. It turns into like breakfast is espresso, lunch is a fart and a salad, after which dinner is your whole pantry.
And it is this vicious cycle of like, how are you going to undo that? So for individuals who need to eat in a correctly being selling means, really working by way of. Understanding that consuming one issue is best than nothing. Pairing your carbs and protein after which attempting to make the most of factors similar to the plate methodology will perhaps be e. Very straightforward, sustainable, versatile methods to go about consuming and actually leaning rigorously on comfort, processed meals, frozen greens and fruit.
Canned fruits, greens and proteins, dried grains, legumes, these peas, lentils, all that fulfilling stuff, and actually working in path of supporting your physique and attending to a spot then the place you most likely can truly actually really feel like you should have power to love, okay, let me try all these utterly completely different dishes. Let me add the spice on the selection, on the, the little razzle dazzle of like, no matter.
Nevertheless it actually does not should be like a strict, avoiding all meals and on no account, and like not each meal is gonna appear to be that. Appropriate. So it is like eradicating type of that stress to eat absolutely continuously and simply figuring out that comparable to you is more likely to be supporting your physique in that second is principally like all you most likely can ask one completely different particular particular person to do.
Yeah,
Wendy Lopez: yeah. Equivalent to love individuals having that every one or nothing methodology to love, if it is not completely. Healthful, no matter meaning, then I am merely not gonna eat in the least. I truly actually really feel like individuals try this tons with greens and fruit. I used to be merely having this dialog with any individual yesterday the place she’s equal to, if it is not one of the best prime quality then , it is like what is the stage of even consuming it?
And so once you speaking about like looking for frozen looking for can for individuals who’ve that. Thought course of. What are some conversations that you have with them to type of like destigmatize course of plant meals, on account of that is one issue that comes up tons I contemplate for individuals attempting to eat further healthful. They’re like attempting to do it the farm to desk means, although that is not very like sensible
Clara Nosek: for most individuals.
Yeah, oftentimes like frozen produce is picked on the peak of ripeness after which preserved flash frozen in that state, so it has all of the dietary nutritional vitamins. And customarily I contemplate once you convey residence greens and fruit, oftentimes you get salad soup behind your fridge or. It is possibly barely bit wrinkly since you let it sit contained in the CRISPR for barely too extended for a lot of who’re not utilizing it immediately.
They primarily are dropping nutrient worth, and I contemplate that stems really from this place the place we regularly truly actually really feel compelled to optimize all the objects in life, right? You wanna like optimize your time, you wanna optimize your meals routine, optimize your correctly being, and it areas quite a few obligation on the person.
And so merely figuring out that comparable to you should not have to try this, and that’s really merely capitalism reaching into your life, merely attempting so as in order so as to add to emphasize, add to the stress of life, and it does not have to be there. Like these greens and fruit are good alternatives. They’re good time savers. If we’re considering of it within the case of like methods so as in order so as to add meals routine, these are 100% good methods to do it.
Yeah,
Jess Jones: these are all good concepts. So let’s discuss persistent stress and trauma, right? So many people have knowledgeable that and all people is conscious of that it’d impact our correctly being in quite a few different routes. Or truly generally individuals could not even uncover how fastidiously these factors might be aligned with their correctly being and correctly being outcomes.
What are some factors that individuals can do to maintain themselves? And heal from trauma or simply truly actually really feel bigger. They do not have one factor to do with the meals that they are consuming on account of I contemplate we generally put all this stress on meals, nonetheless there’s so many different factors that we’re prepared to do this might be useful. I
Clara Nosek: assume it really begins with in case you is perhaps prepared really setting and practising boundaries.
I am engaged on mine, my very private boundaries, nonetheless I actually assume that shifting away from screens like lots a lot much less present time is large. So before I acquired sick this week, I used to be really working by way of like these like low dopamine mornings. So like my alarm will go off, I am unable to contact my cellphone for like at the very least two hours. I will do quite a few utterly completely different factors.
I am really engaged on Monotasking, so I watched, I contemplate it was a TikTok. I used to be studying an article which on TikTok, and so they additionally had been speaking about how like our brains will not be meant for multitasking. We’re not presupposed to. And the way in which through which like which is able to contribute to underlying stress as efficiently. Stress and anxiousness. Merely having to regularly be in so many alternative locations mentally.
So like I even have been consciously attempting to monotask, attempting to have these like very. Concerted present time, time zones in my day. I contemplate that getting exterior, whether or not it’s in the marketplace to you, the vitamin D, there is a like grounding standing in grass. There’s one issue about like merely being exterior and. Yeah, merely type of like defending your peace, like whether or not it’s in the marketplace to you.
Merely having quite a few these, like if it is not a hell optimistic, it’s type of a no. Yeah. For me, quite a few the time I ponder it like, what was I doing before the web? Appropriate? Like very tons early nineties, what was life? Mm-hmm. And like attempting to coplay was like early nineties core, pre-internet core. Let me go exterior.
Let me like paint an image. Let’s equal to do stuff. Yeah. However yeah, talking to love the stress and all that stuff, like, I regularly discuss to my victims about how like, what, in case you is perhaps stressing about all the objects that you simply simply merely’re consuming, That may play a job in top-of-the-line methods your physique digests the meals. Like there was that analysis article like people who uncover themselves in a relaxed state and consuming will take of their meals significantly increased than any one that’s like in a heightened state of stress.
Yeah. And so in case you is perhaps like, oh my God, what I am consuming is poison, then it is like, ugh. You are gonna give your self bubble guts. Yeah. Each time all the objects is gonna hurt your tummy. The entire points is gonna not sit efficiently. And it has nothing to do with like what you is perhaps having. It is merely the that you simply’re already ramping up your self to not take in any of it.
And so I contemplate really working in path of like being aware with what you is perhaps consuming, not merely meals, similar to the web, social media, the radio. People who uncover themselves like, that is poisonous. That is poisonous. Merely along with to your stress, if that’s not sitting efficiently with you till you most likely can like really heal. That like energetically be in a spot of calm, I am really giant on like, let’s not eat that.
