Looking for a Registered Dietitian for a Plant-Forward Reboot Study

Big News! Josh LaJaunie and I are partnering with WellStart Health and Louisiana State University to deliver a digital chronic disease reversal program to people with type 2 diabetes in and around Shreveport, Louisiana.

And we're doing it as a randomized, controlled clinical trial, hopefully to demonstrate the power of a plant-centric diet to halt and reverse the disease and help people get off their meds and feel great.

Like, to show the world that this lifestyle works, and it's inexpensive, and people will actually comply and not blow it off. Revolutionary stuff that has the power to change the world.

And we need help.

We are looking for a qualified dietitian who can help our participants transition to a healthy, plant-centric diet. The ideal candidate will have experience working with patients with type 2 diabetes. The main responsibility will be to lead small group online videos sessions for approximately 100 patients with type 2 diabetes.

The sessions will occur during three weeks over the course of a 12-week program: one at the start, one in the middle, and one near the end. At this point, we expect the study to commence in late winter or early spring 2018.

The anticipated commitment for the position is approximately 10 hours for each week worked (7-10 sessions at each of the 3 points in the program that the sessions are offered; each session is 60-80 minutes long). The specific days and times are somewhat flexible, but the sessions should be in the late afternoon/evening hours (CT) on several different days of the week, to accommodate typical working schedules.

You will need access to a computer with a high quality microphone, headphone or earbuds, and video camera, and an internet connection fast enough and reliable enough to handle video streaming.

The sessions will include

  • showing how to transition to a plant-based diet for type 2 diabetes
  • sharing the scientific evidence behind plant-based diet,
  • educating on portion size, food preparation, and
  • providing cooking demo(s) and shopping list samples

Dietitian will also answer participant questions and guide them in their diet plans, while being sensitive to meeting participants where they are at in their journey to incorporate more plants. This is NOT a vegan intervention, so you will not be discussing the environmental or ethical aspects of the diet.

Dietitian responsibilities also include charting based on group discussions, as well as regularly communicating with other team members (this may include study physicians, health coaches and study coordinator) and contributing to/providing feedback on the program content.

Based on performance and need, there is an opportunity for this position to evolve to an ongoing role with WellStart Health. If you would like to learn more about this, please let us know.

We are looking for a team member who is dedicated to helping people make true health transformations, is a team player and enthusiastic to contribute to this growing field! If this sounds like a good fit, we look forward to hearing from you.

Please email bo****@we*************.com and/or ol****@we*************.com if you are interested in this position.

This podcast is a labor of love and a way to give back to the world that has given me so much. That's why there aren't any sponsors (except me :).

My day job is helping leaders and their teams master their mindsets to remove all obstacles to heart-centered high performance.

Here are three gigs that I do:

1. Executive and Senior Leadership Mentoring and Facilitation

I work with high performing executive teams in organizations — and executive teams that need to become high  performing. My focus is mindset mastery, because it’s our mindsets that either support high performance or get in the way.

At this level, everyone’s got the skills and experience to excel and contribute at the highest level. What holds people back is mindset stuff: specifically the triggers that get them out of creative engagement and into fight-or-flight defensiveness.

My practice is all about teaching people to respond differently to those triggers by updating old maps — essentially removing the glitches that the triggers grab onto.

2. Executive Coaching: Quick Wins for High Performance

I work with individual executives and leaders, one on one. The program is called Quick Wins for High Performance, and what we do is, we work strategically on one or two areas that are holding you back and keeping you from performing at your best.

We reverse engineer the presenting problems — too much work and not enough time, underperforming employees and teams, maddening organizational inefficiencies, etc — and identify and rewire the suboptimal mindsets that are behind those problems.

The work is all about updating your mental maps so your actions and responses are always appropriate, proportionate, and strategic.

3. High Stakes Conversations for Fast Growing Small Business Teams

I help small business teams have high stakes conversations with skill, humor, and grace. When people feel safe, they can do their best, most creative, most collaborative work.

So that's what I do. If you'd like any of those results, drop me a line and tell me about yourself.

You CAN Change Other People!

Well, that's what Peter Bregman and I claim in our provocative book of that title.

What we really mean is, you can bring out the best in the people around you. If you think you're powerless to help people change, it's because you've been going about it the wrong way.
