Did well on my nutrition mid-term (phew!). Am once again entertaining the thought of more school … maybe even a horrible, irrevocable life choice ;).
To PhD or not to PhD, that is the question

I'm a techie who thinks that obesity is more a symptom than a cause and that the real problem is our Western diet -- especially sugar, refined grains, and industrial oils. I'm into nutrition, ancestral health & food policy. And cats!

ACK! More power to you. And all kinds of empathy.
I’m now in the throes of panic. Starting down the path to become a hospital chaplain, I hope. It requires special clinical pastoral training, plus one of the following: theology degree or applicable master’s degree. I have a master’s, but it will be a stretch to convince them that any of it’s applicable. Journalism. Not social work. Not psychology or counselling. Journalism. Worthless, I’m afraid. And I don’t know whether my brain works fast enough anymore for grad school.
Keep us posted on what happens. I would so love calling you Dr. Weight Maven.
LOL! I’m eyeballing a health communications PhD, so fortunately my MA in comm should count. And frankly, the only reason I’m considering the PhD is that I need to take the same number of academic credits for that as for the other degrees I’ve been scoping out (an MPH or MPP).
Best of luck!!
