You can’t be empowered about your health decisions if you rely on misinformation, pseudoscientific propaganda, and conspiracies.

I've been listening to Mind The Science by @jonathanstea.bsky.social 👏🏽👏🏽

I feel validated as a Dietitian often debunking diet myths for Arthritis / Autoimmune Diseases. Sometimes, I need a break for my own mental health.

I was thrilled to learn that you are Canadian, as it made it easier to relate to the examples.

I had the privilege of receiving guided CBT with a SW at Ontario Shores, Ontario. It was truly life-changing, and now I'm equipped with tools to cope with the unpredictability of my autoimmune diseases.

Merry Christmas to everyone, especially to the ER staff at @lakeridgehealth.bsky.social for making my boy's Christmas Eve special. He was showered with toys and smiles.
He is feeling much better 😊

Thx somehow I missed she had an email list! Also yeah… I spent years trying functional medicine and everything else and let me second that if you have a severe, progressing autoimmune disease it will not be enough!

This guy is promising a "cure" and finding a root cause for your #sjogrens. Putting the blame on the patients 😡

Thanks @sarahschafermd.bsky.social
