Don’t compare yourself or your journey to anyone

Don’t compare yourself or your journey to anyone else’s. You are unique, and what you bring to medicine is what we need. We need YOU.

- an excerpt from my piece on @aacom_do’s virtual event for National Accepted Students Day

I’m so proud of all of you who were accepted to DO medical schools!! Congratulations on entering the ever-changing, challenging, and rewarding field of medicine! We are so happy that you are joining our family!

Me: Let me tell you how I make my salad!!⁣
⁣
One of my favorite things is turning on some music, pouring a glass of wine, and cooking with my boyfriend. But the reality is that most nights I get home from work and I am so dang tired that I can’t manage to cook dinner for myself. So, salads make dinner really easy for me. I typically buy a bunch of separate ingredients so that when I get home I can just throw together a salad with whatever sounds good! ⁣
⁣
This salad has spinach, shredded Brussels sprouts, raw green beans, craisins, sliced almonds, avocado, and hemp hearts (my favorite are @eatonhemp).⁣
⁣
For those of you who don’t know, my Bachelor’s degree is in Nutrition! I love educating about nutrition and used to bring a lot of that to this page. I’m trying to get back to some of that, if y’all are interested 🤗
⁣
Nutrition lesson for the day:⁣
Hemp seeds (also called hemp hearts) are technically a nut and are full of nutrients. They have a mild, nutty flavor and contain over 30% fat and 25% protein! They are exceptionally rich in two essential fatty acids, linoleic acid (omega-6) and alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3). Hemp is also a complete protein, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids! Personally, I like using hemp hearts in my salads, smoothie bowls, and oatmeal! ⁣
⁣
Hemp is a phytoremediation plant, meaning that it can be used to clean the soil it’s planted in because it absorbs many compounds including pollutants (pretty cool huh!?) BUT, this is also why if you’re going to eat hemp, you want it to be organic and third-party tested like @eatonhemp, so you’re not eating those pollutants. ⁣
⁣
Have you ever tried hemp? If so, how do you use it in your kitchen?

Have you ever noticed that when you’ve just learned a new word, you hear it more often? Or when you’re thinking of buying a certain type of car, you spot it on the street all the time? ⁣
⁣
Similarly, when thinking negatively, it’s easy to see the negative in situations. And when looking for opportunity, it’s easy to see opportunities. Our thoughts matter. ⁣
⁣
The cool thing is that we have the ability to change our own thoughts & feelings, simply by making the • choice • to do so. Of course, that "simple" action is not always so simple - BUT we are, without a doubt, capable 💕⁣

#ad Wearing my favorite white coat by @barco.uniforms 🥼 This is the Grey’s Anatomy Signature 2402 lab coat. It’s super soft and the fit is tailored. I wear a size medium in everything Barco! For reference, I’m 5’8 and wear a medium in pretty much all other clothing items, so I think Barco is pretty true to size.

I’m tired of this pandemic, too. We’re all tired of it. I wish that would make this whole thing disappear, but it won’t.⁣

With the holidays approaching, it’s easy to get a bit lax. But a few simple habits like wearing a mask and washing/sanitizing your hands frequently can make a big difference in slowing the spread of #COVID19 🦠⁣
⁣
• Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds⁣
• If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub that contains at least 60% alcohol⁣
⁣
When to wash your hands:⁣
• After blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing⁣
• After being in a public place⁣
• Before and after caring for someone who is sick⁣
• Before, during, and after preparing or eating food⁣
• After using the restroom⁣
⁣
We are truly all in this together!⁣
#ad I like to keep this @everyoneproducts hand sanitizer on me at all times so that I can sanitize at the grocery store or at the gas pump #everyonelovescleanhands #everyoneforeverybody #everyonesanitizer #madeforeveryone
