Nutrition did not come easy for her but she learned a lot along the way and is sharing her specific insights and ways to learn with the world with her business Nutrition Cheat Sheets.

I feel every great conversation is had over a meal or a cocktail (or mocktail if you choose). These conversations take on their own life and travel into unique directions, which is what truly matters. Periodically, I will be putting on my party pants, pouring myself something refreshing to drink and inviting a guest to just see where the words take us. This is a very special episode - #200! It only seemed fitting to celebrate with an episode of Cocktails, Mocktails and Conversations with my favorite threesome of Carrie Moody, Nicole Rodriguez and Dave Sherotski. Since #200 falls in the year 2020, we discuss some thought provoking questions and share how we will end this dynamic year.

Conversation 167: The Story, Journey and Passion of Allison Riederer, MS, RD

“The way our dietetics education system is set up, we get a lot of support as we are becoming dietitians and then it dissipates. You don’t become a dietitian by accident. We fight so hard to become dietitians and I think sometimes people expect their career to be the victory lap and it’s just not the way it works.” Allison Riederer, MS, RD

Today’s conversation is with Allison Riederer, a registered dietitian and founder of Root & Rise Academy who focuses on career resources and coaching for current and future registered dietitians.

Allison and I connected by being on the same cheerleading team for all registered dietitians. She has created a space to help registered dietitians navigate their careers in a positive and productive way. She almost quit the profession because she wasn’t happy with the job she was in. This lead to her working with a mentor and finding the path of teaching. She is a Dietetic Program Coordinator by day and helps other dietitians in these same circumstances by night.

COVID Cocktails/Mocktails and Conversation with Carrie Moody, Nicole Rodriguez and Dave Sherotski

I feel every great conversation is had over a meal or a cocktail (or mocktail if you choose). These conversations take on their own life and travel into unique directions, which is what truly matters. Periodically, I will be putting on my party pants, pouring myself something refreshing to drink and inviting my favorite guests just to see where the words take us. In this episode of Cocktails, Mocktails and Conversations, I invited back my favorite threesome of Carrie Moody, Nicole Rodriguez and Dave Sherotski. It is a crazy time in the world right now with the COVID pandemic, so we just needed a cocktail to converse about what is going on, how to stay positive and what we are learning through this experience.

Cheers!

Conversation 162: The Story, Journey and Passion of Rita Saeed, MS, RDN

“I have been off the (social media) grid awhile now, because it became so exhausting, especially when it wasn’t fun anymore. I’m the type of person who really follows her heart and I really follow my passion and my intuition. If something doesn’t feel fun for me anymore and it feels more like a chore and I’m not getting joy out of it, I simply need to take a step back and re-evaluate what the purpose is.” Rita Saeed, MS, RDN

Today’s conversation is with Rita Saeed, a registered dietitian who works in the clinical area of dietetics but knows there is something more out there for her professionally.

Rita and I connected by social media because she was having a hard time with where she fit in as a registered dietitian.

Conversation 161: The Story, Journey and Passion of Laura Koch, MS, RD, LMNT

“One of the hardest things I was told when I started my job was our patients are not going to get better. They are either going to die or their are going to get a transplant. That was one thing that was a bit hard to come to grips with. I think for me, being able to help people maintain a good quality of life for the time they do have and managing this really difficult disease is really rewarding.” Laura Koch, MS, RD, LMNT

Today’s conversation is with Laura Koch, a registered dietitian who found dietetics as a second career and has discovered a passion for renal nutrition.

Laura and I connected this spring at the Nebraska Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics annual meeting and I am very glad she introduced herself. Her story starts out with going to college without a clear outline of what her passion was and working in an entirely different field of insurance. Along the way, she realized she had an interest in nutrition, pursued her degree and is now working for a dialysis clinic. Laura sheds some light on this area of nutrition and how she is finding it to be an area of dietetics to be rewarding.

Please enjoy my conversation with Laura.

Conversation 160: The Story, Journey and Passion of Alice Figueroa, MPH, RD, LD

“To be a really empowered dietitian and someone who works in the health industry, we all need to become aware of the issues going on in our community so we can become advocates. We do have a science background and we are the authority when it comes to food safety and nutrition. I think it’s really important for RD’s to become well-rounded and learn about the needs of our communities. ” Alice Figueroa, MPH, RD, LD

Today’s conversation is with Alice Figueroa, a registered dietitian who created her own path into dietetics by combining her passion for public health, policy and nutrition.

Alice and I were connected through my previous podcast guest, Nicole Rodriguez because they did their internship together and I am so glad she did. Alice is one of those dietitians we all should get to know because of her deeply rooted passion for health advocacy both here in the United States and globally. She is from Guatemala and trips with her family early in her life, opened her eyes to many faults in basic human rights like food and clean water. Alice shares many of her experiences so far, insights on how policy affects all dietitians and the current project she is working on going back to her family's roots. This is a conversation you must make time for.

Please enjoy my conversation with Alice.

Conversation 158: The Story, Journey and Passion of Moe Schlachter MS, RD, LD, CDE

“The beauty of our profession is sometimes we’re talking about really serious illnesses and diseases and the mood in the room can be a little grim - but sometimes we get to connect with our clients and back to memories of their mom, their grandma and their family meals and dinners to visit a time in the past, which is really special. It sets our profession apart.” Moe Schlachter MS, RD, LD, CDE

Today’s conversation is with Moe Schlachter, a registered dietitian who started off in the business world, went to culinary school and became a chef and is now running his own nutrition private practice.

I am not on Linkedin very much but there was one day when I was and came across Moe. We all know there are not many male dietitians in our profession, so I am always intrigued when I come across one and one who has his own business. Moe is an amazing human doing amazing things currently and throughout his lifetime so far. His story is very unique as he started in the business world, went to Israel for culinary school, being a Chef in New York City, and then a few years later going back to school for dietetics after a conversation and encouragement from a friend. He is starting year 3 of his private practice, Houston Family Nutrition, in a community he loves.

Conversation 156: The Story, Journey and Passion (so far) of RD2Be, Liz Davitt

“I can definitely tell a mindset difference between my undergraduate classes to my graduate classes (while taking them at the same time). Graduate classes, I feel people are truly there to learn and grades are kind of out of the window. With undergraduate classes, people still care about grades a lot, that’s great but sometimes the learning can get lost ” Liz Davitt, RD2Be

Today’s conversation is with Liz Davitt, a dietetic student at Iowa State getting her Masters in Dietetics and Exercise Science and we also work together.

I have had the joy of working with Liz for almost 2 years. In May of 2020, she will graduate with her Masters in Dietetics and Exercise Science. Currently, she is beginning the process of determining what internships she is applying to as well as what areas of dietetics interests her. I am glad we got the opportunity to sit down and have a conversation about her journey so far.

Conversation 155: Transitioning from Vegetarian, A Registered Dietitian Perspective with Carrie Moody, RDN

With a new documentary out and the many discussions I have had with clients and other registered dietitians about following a plant based diet, I wanted to talk a little bit more about someone who has navigated this type of lifestyle. There is so much nutrition noise when it comes to food, especially when it comes to food from animals. In today’s conversation, I talk with Carrie Moody, a registered dietitian who was a vegetarian for a long time and we discuss why she became a vegetarian, how she navigated this eating lifestyle and why she circled back to eating animal based foods. All the things she has lived and learned along the way has lead her in developing her Metabolism Reset Program. A program designed to decrease the nutrition noise, focus on your health and eating real food, from all the food groups.

Please enjoy my conversation with Carrie.

“I knew I wanted to see myself in managerial positions and I wanted to see my career take off and keep going onto the next thing and for me, I had to swallow my pride and ask why that is so important? Why is that the thing holding me back? I had to look at my priorities and what is actually important to me is not going to be the title and the money, it is the human relationships and family. ” Elise Compston, RDN

Today’s conversation is with Elise Compston, a registered dietitian who has a passion for recipe development, cooking really easy and delicious food and her beautiful family.

I have spent endless days drooling over Elise’s food on Instagram, like all her amazing nut butter creations, oatmeal bowls and sauces which all make sense after our great conversation.

“Dietetics has been a perfect career for me. I have a saying I tell my family, close friends and anyone who will listen and that is “the world revolves around dietitians.” Part of it is because I am such a connector of people but also I feel as dietitians we have each others backs, we care for each other and the relationships we develop are genuine. ” Christine Palumbo, MBA, RDN, FAND

Today’s conversation is with Christine Palumbo, a registered dietitian who has a passion for serving and helping others, especially other dietitians to develop and advance their careers.

Conversation 151: The Story, Journey and Passion of Brittany Linn, RD, CDN

“For me, counseling is about putting your heart into it. You’re having a conversation with someone and they keep coming back to you for visits so you’re more involved in their life.

“I wish there were more resources when I was a student and new dietitian about how it is ok to be imperfect. We have to take the pressure off.

Conversation 147: The Story, Journey and Passion of Erin Hendrickson, RDN, LD

“I was at a job where I loved the people I worked with, I just wasn’t fulfilled with the job role. It was one of those - if I don’t quit now, then I am going to waste all this time doing something I’m not passionate about that’s not really giving me a purpose. It was easy to quit and take that time I needed to find myself and figure out the next step.” Erin Hendrickson, RDN, LD

Today’s conversation is with Erin Hendrickson, a registered dietitian who has a passion for all things food, corporate wellness and living a more minimalistic life and sharing her journey.

She shares her experiences through the dietetic profession so far and how some crazy twist and turns has led her to this place of passion for nutrition, food and minimalism.

Conversation 140 : The Story, Journey and Passion of Brittani DaSilva, MS, RD

“During my military service, I was taken back by the number of people in the military who were actually overweight. When you think about soldiers, you think about these men and women who are strong and physically fit but what I learned is that there were a lot of people who weren’t at their best health. I started to recognize these people weren’t like that because they chose it, they were like this because they were injured while serving, they had been deployed and were going through stress being separated from their families, or were experiencing PTSD after war and battling these scars inside of them while turning to food for comfort because of the sacrifices they made.” Brittani DaSilva, MS, RD

Today’s conversation is with Brittani DaSilva, a registered dietitian, nutrition coach and US Army Veteran who wants to end the war with diets and food guilt.

Conversation 136: The Story, Journey and Passion of Lisa C. Andrews MEd, RD, LD

“This is my profession and I don’t want to hear dietitians bashing other dietitians. It’s not cool. I want to share the love. I always tell my students, never burn any bridges because the world is really small. You might be drowning somewhere and that person might need to save you. ” Lisa C. Andrews MEd, RD, LD

Today’s conversation is with Lisa Andrews, a registered dietitian from Ohio who has worked clinical, started her own business and has an awesome food pun T-shirt line.

Lisa and I connected through social media from either the love of food puns or the love of our tortie kitties, so I knew we had a connection from the start. Lisa has always had a passion for health as she was an athlete growing up and living with her father who had diabetes. She worked an extensive career with the VA hospital as a clinical dietitian, was an adjunct instructor and currently is an entrepreneur in her own practice doing consulting and counseling, as well as selling awesome food pun merchandise.

Conversation 134: The Story, Journey and Passion of Stephanie Dorfman, MS, RDN

“When you’re in a clinical position, you get to work with other health professional. Being in a corporate setting, I’m working with the marketing team, the culinary team, HR, IT which is nice because I get to talk about nutrition but I also get to talk/learn about other aspects of the job and the company. It would be great to add more business classes and education into our curriculum.” Stephanie Dorfman, MS, RDN

Today’s conversation is with Stephanie Dorfman, a registered dietitian who found a passion for dietetics through being an athlete and cooking with her family.

Stephanie and I connected through the best dietetics practice group, Nutrition Entrepreneurs and after connecting, I knew I wanted to learn more about her journey. Stephanie grew up an athlete and loved cooking with her family, which lead her to one of the easiest decisions she has made: becoming a registered dietitian. She is thriving and truly enjoying working for a food service company, which lends to a lot of opportunity and variety in her job, all the while carrying a strong passion for sports nutrition.

Conversation 133: Cocktails/Mocktails and Conversation with Carrie Moody, Nicole Rodriguez and Dave Sherotski

I feel every great conversation is had over a meal or a cocktail (or mocktail if you choose). These conversations take on their own life and travel into unique directions, which is what truly matters. Periodically, I will be putting on my party pants, pouring myself something refreshing to drink and inviting a guest to just see where the words take us. In this episode of Cocktails, Mocktails and Conversations, I invited back my favorite threesome of Carrie Moody, Nicole Rodriguez and Dave Sherotski. It’s America’s birthday and we are sharing how we celebrate and discussing our thoughts on plant-based eating.

Cheers!

Today’s conversation is with Abbie Scott, a registered dietitian who has a passion for her family, yoga and working with eating disorders.

Conversation 130: The Story, Journey and Passion of Steph Langdon, RD

“I do think part of the whole reason I started my “What RD’s Do” interview series is to inspire dietitians to what is possible within the profession. I didn’t know what was possible for myself so I feel like there are a lot of people out there who want to work in a certain area but they don’t know what it takes to get there.” Steph Langdon, RD

Today’s conversation is with Steph Langdon, a registered dietitian and entrepreneur who has created the inspiring and very valuable “What RD’s Do” interview series.

A few months after starting this podcast, I connected with a lot of registered dietitians and a colleague suggested I follow Steph because of the similar passion we share of inspiring other dietitians. When I started digging into her “What RD’s Do” series, I really starting re-connecting to why I wanted to be a RD in the first place. Steph has over 190 interviews in her series and highlights all the amazing journeys of fellow dietitians. What is even more great about Steph is she is a Mom first, Dietitian second and has a sincere passion for advocating for our profession.

Today’s conversation is with Kim Rose, registered dietitian from Florida who is a clinical dietitian by day and a YouTube star by night.

Awhile ago when I was doing research on the where registered dietitians get their information about our profession, of course I started with an internet search and Kim Rose was a key part of the results. Kim has a standout presence on YouTube by hosting her own channel filled with informative and educational videos for all things registered dietitian. Her passion for the profession and her creativity radiates in her videos as well as her online presence. She is a massive influencer for registered dietitians by providing answers to many common questions new and seasoned dietitians may have.

Conversation 127: The Story, Journey and Passion - so far - of Deanne Lynch, RD2Be

“I knew when I went to culinary school, it wasn’t the end-all for me. I didn’t want to be a chef at a restaurant working until midnight or on the line. I loved food so much and I wanted to learn as much as I could about it.” Deanne, RD2Be

Today’s conversation is with Deanne Lynch, a RD2Be who chose dietetics as her 3rd career will be starting her dietetic internship in a couple weeks.

Deanne and I connected after the Michigan Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Spring Conference by sending me a lovely email about her passion for dietetics and I knew I wanted to learn more about her journey. Not only is this a 3rd career for Deanne, she is also a spouse and a mother to 2 children. Deanne was a member of the Marine Corps, went to culinary school and along the way discovered her passion for dietetics. She will be starting her internship with Iowa State University in a couple of weeks and I am very happy she shared her journey with me so far.

Conversation 126: The Story, Journey and Passion of Kelsey Wigans, MS, RDN, LD

Today’s conversation is with Kelsey Wigans, a registered dietitian and Seed to Table Manager for Gilmore City-Bradgate Schools in Iowa.

You may be wondering what a Seed to Table Manager is and so was I, when my previous podcast guest Ann Parker mentioned Kelsey for the podcast. This is a great conversation about how a registered dietitian can make an impact with children when it comes to food, health and being an active teacher in the schools about agriculture and where food comes from. Kelsey is doing the most amazing things at her school, branching out much further than just a school garden, including grant writing, a teaching kitchen and a new upcoming Monarch butterfly house.

Today’s conversation is with Dezi Abeyta, a registered dietitian from Tucson, AZ who has a passion to inspire men to prioritize their family time by teaching and coaching them to utilize nutrition and exercise tactics to boost their emotional, mental, and physical availability for their family.

Dezi shares his very personal journey to dietetics which always circles around the importance of food and family. He has started his own business, Foodtalk Nutrition, with a purpose to help men along their wellness journey through his own experience and expertise. Throughout the podcast, he shares many nuggets of wisdom for all dietitians and how the power of connection means everything.

“It’s a different aspect when you don’t have a trampoline to save you if you fall. And I’ve been living like that since I left home. I need to make sure every step I take is careful.

Erin Kenney is passionate about helping individuals achieve their healthiest self through food, nutrition, and she really sleeps, eats and breaths this message.

Today’s conversation is with Briana, a registered dietitian who is passionate about sharing nutrition information a bit at a time.

I really enjoyed my conversation today with Briana because she has the best approach to nutrition and working with her clients. I still find myself guilty of trying to share a lot of information at a one time with my clients and from now on, I will channel my inner Briana. She is very passionate about helping people along their wellness journey one step at a time and shares a lot of great wisdom throughout our conversation when it comes to life and our profession.

Conversation 120: The Story, Journey and Passion of Haley Hughes, RD

“At the end of the day what I get the most job satisfaction out of is seeing a client make the progress or make it to their goals. Even though one-on-one is the most time consuming and stressful and almost feeling like a therapist at times. That is the definitely the most rewarding and I feel like I make a difference.” Haley Hughes, RD

Today’s conversation is with Haley Hughes, a registered dietitian who is impacting her small community in a big way by starting her own practice RDRx Nutrition and coaching Crossfit.

Haley’s dietitian career has taking her many places in the United States, including her home state of Alaska. While she was choosing schools, she landed in Colorado and realized there was a need for her dietitians services in her small community of Greeley. Haley started her business after seeing a need for nutrition education while doing diabetes education. She continues to be involved not only in nutrition education, but contracts in menu planning, her local Meals on Wheels program, writing articles, recipe development and collaborating with other professionals in her community in virtual course creation.

Whether I’m working professionally or not, whether I’m with family, whether I’m in the community, whether I’m with friends. I can make this literally apply to every person’s life because everybody eats .” Dua Aldasouqi, RD

Today’s conversation is with Dua the Dietitian, a registered dietitian who is passionate about sharing her profession in every aspect of her life.

Dua and I met over social media because I was drawn to a unique series of poetry she was sharing on Instagram. I am drawn to dietitians who incorporate other passions they have in their lives while practicing dietetics and Dua shared such a unique part of her. Our conversation is very inspiring because Dua truly believes in what life throws your way is what is meant to be. And I completely agree with her. She does a variety of things in her professional and personal life and being a dietitian is just one part of this amazing person.

“Don’t close off your mind. I have to say, I was very set on community nutrition and that is where I ended up but I think certain aspects of clinical and food service would be enjoyable. There are so many paths for us as dietitians.” Ann Parker, RD, LD

Today’s conversation is with Ann Parker, a registered dietitian with many creative outlets who has a passion for community nutrition.

Ann is a fellow Iowa registered dietitian who I crossed paths with through our our local district dietetic association as she started to volunteer her time as the secretary and treasurer.

Conversation 114: The Story, Journey and Passion of Sarah Gatien, RDN

“There are definitely some tough days but I’ve actually helped people. It’s so rewarding to know that after all of this time and all of this struggle (to becoming a dietitian), I’m helping people now. There are people who say it’s just nutrition, it’s just food but you don’t realize how people base so much on food.” Sarah Gatien, RDN

Today’s conversation is with Sarah Gatien, a registered dietitian with a huge passion for nutrition, taking her on quite the journey to her goals.

Sarah and I connected in the Instagram world while she was going through difficult times during her professional career. Sometimes is just pays to reach out to others on social media, you never know the personal and precious relationships you can form there. Which is exactly what Sarah and I share. This impressive lady has taken a long and winding road personally and professionally to be in the happy place she is today with her career. Being a dietitian can be a tough gig sometimes, but if you are looking for passionate people who prevail, this conversation with Sarah is for you.

Conversation 113: The Story, Journey and Passion of Aimee Sarchet, RDN

“There are more conversations that come up and I see more conferences offering sessions on video. It is usually the basics and discussion afterwards (by dietitians) includes saying they are scared and don’t know where to start. It makes sense, it’s something we’re not trained in and is outside of our wheelhouse but I think video is really important because it is the way social media is headed.” Aimee Sarchet, RDN.

Today’s conversation is with Aimee Sarchet, a registered dietitian and entrepreneur with a passion for photography and videography.

Aimee found a passion for nutrition at a young age and pursued dietetics the first day of her college career. She knew almost right away after completing her internship, she wanted to be an entrepreneur and start her own business with a personal connection to individuals struggling with GI issues. SInce then, her career has taken a bit of a different direction, but she still finds the joy in being a dietitian by being creative through video.

Conversation 112: The Story, Journey and Passion of Zach Cordell, RDN

“Teaching gives me the opportunity to talk to somebody 2 times a week for 4 months and really give them a basis in nutrition rather than trying to chase after them every couple of weeks to make sure they are coming back. I love being able to be with these students at a place where they’re leaving their home, making their own food choices and getting ready to decide who they are going to be in terms of health.” Zach Cordell, RDN.

Today’s conversation is with Zach Cordell, a registered dietitian, professor, podcast host of The Latter-Day Saint Nutritionist and a brand new author.

There are dietitians who are passionate about nutrition and then there is Zach Cordell. This conversation with Zach was very special because he is very special. Zach has always had a passion for teaching and comes from a long line of teachers, including his wife. During his work as a missionary, he realized through the personal connections made along the way, how important food, nutrition and health is and decided to teach by becoming a Registered Dietitian. I hope you take the time to listen to this great conversation and listen to Zach’s Podcast, The Latter-Day Saint Nutritionist because of the unique way he educates others on nutrition.

Please enjoy my conversation with Zach.

Conversation 108: The Story, Journey and Passion of Jason Lau, BSc, RD

“I am very happy I have able to find what I am passionate about. I know people struggle with theirs and they go through 2 or 3 career changes and they still can’t find what they actually love. I know without one bit of doubt and say this is what I want to do forever and ever. I get so excited about it.” Jason Lau, BSc, RD

Today’s conversation is with Jason Lau, a registered dietitian who is an animal lover at heart who stumbled upon dietetics through a very personal discovery.

In a world of the female domination of dietetics, I am always drawn to connecting with males who go into the field, to hear their story and journey. Jason and I connected through instagram through a few discussions about loving our work and finding the joy in what we do. Jason shares his personal journey to dietetics and how he is using his story to help his patients as a clinical dietitian and the clients he sees in his own private practice. He also shares some real talk about being a male dietitian and what the future holds.

Please enjoy my conversation with Jason.

Conversation 109: The Story, Journey and Passion of Julia Heos, RD

“Sometimes I will have customers come in for one-on-one appointments and we’ll be talking and they will mention how early childhood experiences prevented them from liking certain foods. I really like allowing the kids to choose if they’re going to eat and how much and where the parents choose what’s offered, where and when. I think that’s a really good relationship for parents and children for feeding.” Julia Heos, RD

Today’s conversation is with Julia Heos, a retail registered dietitian who loves to eat and is very passionate about helping others along their wellness journey.

As a retail dietitian myself, I hold a very special place in my heart for other retail dietitians. We are share a similar story and know the ins and outs of being in a grocery store. I connected with Julia because of her dietitian role for Zehrs grocery stores in Keswick and Uxbridge in Ontario, Canada. Julia had such a passion for her profession and loves working in the retail environment. She has a very down-to-earth approach to her practice and you can truly tell through our conversation she loves people and she loves what she does. She shared with me that this podcast was the first one she ever downloaded and she loves Chicken Parmesan. Julia is a girl after my own heart.

Please enjoy my conversation with Julia.

Conversation 108: Cocktails/Mocktails and Conversation with Nicole Rodriguez and Dave Sherotski

I feel every great conversation is had over a meal or a cocktail (or mocktail if you choose). These conversations take on their own life and travel into unique directions, which is what truly matters. Periodically, I will putting on my party pants, pouring myself something refreshing to drink and inviting a guest to just see where the words take us. In this episode of Cocktails, Mocktails and Conversations, I invited back two of my favorite guests, Nicole Rodriguez and Dave Sherotski. As 2019 begins, we discuss resolutions, food porn, being authentic and things we are looking forward to in the new year.

Cheers!

Conversation 105: The Story, Journey and Passion of Anita Davila, RD2Be

“I feel like students want to connect. We want to network, we want to find some inspiration and so I feel like Dietetics Practice Groups (DPG’s) recognize that more and more. Students are important and we have to consider how we can support them and value them as members in the field.” - Anita Davila, RD2Be

Today’s conversation is with Anita Davila, an RD2Be who has been on a different road to becoming a Registered Dietitian and has a passion for integrative nutrition.

Anita has such a unique story story on her journey to becoming a Registered Dietitian. She started out with many interests when she decided to go to college, landing on a nursing degree. While she was doing her prerequisites, she took a nutrition class and it was exactly what she has been looking for all along. Anita has put her family first along her journey and has found ways for her to stay active in the dietetics community through the DPG Dietitians in Integrative and Functional Medicine. She is currently working on finding the perfect time to start her internship and pursue her RD credential.

“While I was working in different settings, so many people said “I will eat what you tell me to.” I realized I am passionate about families eating together and I do think I have the knowledge and the resources to help people with this.” - Tonya Huenink, RD, LD

Today’s conversation is with Tonya Huenink, a registered dietitian who has worked in all areas of dietetics and has started her own meal planning business called Meal Squeeze.

Tonya is native to my favorite state of Iowa and at one point worked for the same company as I did. Throughout her adventures as a Registered Dietitian, she has worked in many different areas of dietetics including clinical, outpatient, food service and school nutrition. Tonya has developed a passion over the years for equipping families of all sizes to sit down for a balanced meal together which has lead to her creating her own business. Not only is this meal planning service great for families but it is also great for other registered dietitians to use with their own clients.

Today’s conversation is with Stephanie Miezen, a registered dietitian who has found joy in combining culinary and sports nutrition into working for Team USA.

After making one of her recipes for dates and almond butter that she had posted, she was in Korea for the Olympics with Team USA.

Conversation 100: The Story, Journey and Passion of Sam Osterhaus, MPH, RD, LD

“I really thought long and hard about what I wanted to do next. It was a lot of self reflection and thinking about setting myself up for what will happen in the next 10-20 years. Having that honest conversation with myself and also talking to some of the people who know you best to get their outside opinions. Sometimes it’s nice to hear. You may not recognize your own passions right away, but if you talk about something all the time, people start to notice.” - Sam Osterhaus, MPH, RD, LD

Today’s conversation is with Sam Osterhaus, a registered dietitian and food lover who just recently took a leap of faith in her career, started a new job and is living out her passion for public health.

Sam is the type of person you want to hang out with all the time because of her energy and maybe her awesome skills creating some delicious dishes in the kitchen. Sam had a great start to her career working in corporate wellness and foodservice, but her primary passion for public health kept tugging at her heart strings. While she has made the change, she is excited to work a job she loves as well as put love into her own private practice and the personal side to her dietitian life. Get to know Sam a little more today and learn why she is someone you will want to hang out with too.

Conversation 99: The Story, Journey and Passion of Caroline Weeks, RDN

“I always think out of the box and I always think big. I do feel like I can be detailed-oriented but I always think bigger picture. I am a concept person, I am an idea person and I love visual art, I love musical art and I am inspired by art. I think having a creative mindset and being able to think outside of the box and collaborate with other has really helped me in dietetics.” - Caroline Weeks, RDN

Today’s conversation is with Caroline Weeks, a Registered Dietitian who discovered dietetics through a unique journey while studying music performance.

Caroline and I met through the Iowa Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics when she joined our team of media spokespersons. When we met, I knew this dietitian was going to be a mover and shaker in our profession. It was great to have this conversation with her because of how she discovered dietetics mid way through her college career, while she was studying music performance as a classically trained violist. Caroline shares her journey so far and how she is using all aspects of her education and experiences in her life as a Registered Dietitian.

Conversation 97: The Story, Journey and Passion of Andres Ayesta, MS, RD

“There are definitely areas of nutrition that are kind of gray because it goes against the grain of what we’ve always been taught. But I am open. What makes me different or unique as a dietitian is I always follow a neutral approach. I’m not a fanatic. I’m not a cult follower. I’m not a person that if I follow keto that is what I preach and push. Everybody has a different approach to health.” - Andres Ayesta, MS, RD

Today’s conversation is with Andres Ayesta, a registered dietitian who fell into dietetics by chance and is currently specializing in nutrition education for athletes and running his own private practice.

I was graciously introduced to Andres through Libby, a mutual dietitian friend, because of his very unique journey into the field of dietetics as well as his insane hustle and work ethic. Andres has had a winding road to becoming a dietitian but has the most sincere passion for our profession. What I enjoy most is his videos where you can catch him delivering some great information on intermittent fasting and the ketogenic diet on his website and facebook page. Through his journey, he has had some amazing opportunity but has also dedicated much of his life toward succeeding and helping others succeed, by working a full-time job and running his own private practice.

Please enjoy my candid conversation with Andres.

Conversation 96: The Story, Journey and Passion of Melissa Joy Dobbins, MS, RDN, CDE

“Education is communication. This is why I love doing communication coaching, media training, speaker training and any kind of nutrition communications training for dietitians. We’re all communicators because we’re educators. There are ways to take your skills to the next level and to hone those skills by being more compelling, concise and to be a better you by elevating the visibility and image of a dietitian, while helping the public get credible information.” - Melissa Joy Dobbins, MS, RDN, CDE

Today’s conversation is with Melissa Joy Dobbins, also known as the Guilt-Free RD®, who has a passion for education through good communication of sound science, smart nutrition and good food.

When I transitioned from a clinical dietitian to a retail dietitian, there was a very new and unknown aspect of my job I was completely unfamiliar with and that was media. I remember when I learned I was going to provide nutrition communications via television, radio and newspaper articles, I about fell over. As I got into doing more with media, I also stumbled upon a few videos of an Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Media Spokesperson and I started watching more of her work to learn more. We then connected through Midwest Dairy a few years later and I truly have been a fan ever since, following her great work and resources she provides dietitians. Her Sound Bites Podcast inspired me to start my own and I feel extremely lucky to be able to have had this conversation with her.

Please enjoy my conversation with Melissa.

Conversation 95: The Story, Journey and Passion of Danielle Bertiger, RD2Be

“I think eating disorders are on the rise. The narrative that every girl should hate their body is totally false and I think that college campuses are a good place to address that. We can use groupthink and friends influencing friends in a positive way instead of the negative way that seems to be happening.” - Danielle Bertiger, RD2Be

Today’s conversation is with Danielle Bertiger, a communications expert who fell into health coaching, fitness and food and is now on her way to a masters in Nutrition Communications and her RD.

From time to time, I always love to podcast with future dietitians and Danielle was a great person to meet. She shares her personal story of falling into the food and fitness world while working after she complete her undergraduate degree in communications. During that time she decided to become a health coach, found a passion for food and recipe creation and also pursuing her certification in group fitness classes. And then, she thought, hey, I also want to get a masters in nutrition education and become a Registered Dietitian. This woman is passionate about her future profession, is great at multitasking and is looking forward to starting her internship.

Please enjoy my conversation with Danielle.

Conversation 94: The Story, Journey and Passion of Jill Coleman, Founder of JillFit

“Really it comes down to trusting yourself. Whatever you are trying to do; whether it’s to eat better, to try to transform the way your body looks, trying to be consistent in the gym, building an online business, trying to cultivate your relationships, do personal development work, it all comes down to a level of self trust.” - Jill Coleman

Today’s conversation is with Jill Coleman, a fitness expert who is living her best life all through her passion for coaching in the areas of mindset, body and business.

In the midst of my dietitian career, I did what we all sometimes do, take a step back from all the things we learn and see what other approaches are out there to best help our clients. During my research, a website called Metabolic Effect caught my eye, in which Jill Coleman was a co-founder with a degree in exercise science and masters in human nutrition. Her contributions to this site lead me to (a slight girl crush) and following her own business JillFit where she shares her down to earth approach to living a healthy lifestyle, awesome workout programs, inspiration and mindfulness coaching, her Moderation365 approach to eating and the podcast she does with her friend Danny Johnson: The Best Life Podcast.

“I have done a lot of really uncomfortable things and have been really stressed at times. But I’ve had success (in my business) and that has allowed me to say yes to the next scary request or demand, in some cases. I keep building on that and keep refining where I use my time, passion and energy for things that are going to have the most impact.” - Amy Myrdal Miller, RD

Today’s conversation is with Amy Myrdal Miller, a registered dietitian who through a variety of professional experiences, always comes back to her roots of being a farmer’s daughter.

When I was at FNCE a few years ago, I had the privilege to be there on behalf of Kids Eat Right. On one of the days, I was assigned to work the KER booth, it was “Meet Your Farmer Day” with Amy being the featured farmer. I briefly was able to chat with her in between the numerous other conversations she was having. I was newer to FNCE and I knew Amy has made a path for herself in our profession by the acknowledgement she received that day. Amy has had an amazing career with much variety and you can tell during our entire conversation, Amy is passionate about being a dietitian but also experiences much joy in every thing she does.

Please enjoy my conversation with Amy.

Today’s conversation is with Jen Plaggemars, a registered dietitian who fulfilled a dream to go back to culinary school and become a chef.

Do you ever scroll through social media to find a recipe for something but you’re not quite sure what that something is? Then you come across photos that start to make you hungry and you must know what the recipe is? Insert Chef Jen. Jen and I worked for the same company for few years, but we really didn’t know each other until I saw a photo of these gorgeous fried plantain chips with a chipotle pineapple guacamole dip and I wanted, no...needed, to be her friend. She is a dietitian and is now following a dream of being a personal chef and has created a pretty delicious life that I am excited to share with you.

Today’s conversation is with Dr. Maree Ferguson, a visionary and leader in the field of dietetics who created Dietitian Connection for dietitians to feel supported along their professional journey.

I truly believe in being in the right place at the right time, which is exactly where I met Maree.

Conversation 88: The Story, Journey and Passion of Nikki Azzara, Founder/CEO P.S. Snacks

“There is a certain discipline that is required of entrepreneurs. I’d like to think it’s in my nature. No one ever taught me how to work from home or set a schedule. I really believe that it is very much a passion-driven venture that I’m running. I genuinely enjoy what I am doing, every single day. ” - Nikki Azzara, Founder/CEO P.S. Snacks

Today’s conversation is with Nikki Azzara, an entrepreneur with a sweet tooth who created better-for-you snacks in her college dorm room.

Just like me, you may have seen photos of P.S. Snacks on social media which is the cookie and brownie dough you can eat made from chickpeas. I was curious about these snacks for my own personal use and after reaching out to the company, I received an email from the Founder herself. After exchanging a few emails, I knew I wanted to get to know Nikki a little better. This woman has such an extreme passion for her business as well as creating a product everyone can consume at any time of the day. Our conversation takes us through all the steps of her product creation, to starting her business and what there is to come for this boss babe and CEO.

Please enjoy my conversation with Nikki.

onversation 87: The Story, Journey and Passion of Dr. Claudia T. Felty

“I love dessert, but there are so many things I thought I really really liked, but now I’m discovering this is too sweet for me. I can’t eat any more of this and that doesn’t happen unless you remove all the restrictions. I’m married, so we eat meals together. Removing the stress from when he asks if we can we do pizza tonight and I don’t need to have a meltdown anymore. It gives you so much empathy in which I think is so important living this experience, being a recovered calorie counter, getting rid of my activity trackers and just having the freedom to eat the food that I want and how much my body says I should have. Having the ability to do that and be able to teach someone else to do that who is struggling, it is so powerful. ” - Dr. Claudia T. Felty

Today’s conversation is with Dr. Claudia, a recovered calorie counter, dessert loving dietitian, educator, and dog mom who dreams big without diets.

A couple of years ago, I met Claudia at FNCE during a networking event. I felt as if I had met her before or knew her in some other professional group. Then I remembered how we connected on social media. She had been doing a series of educational videos on a variety of hot topics in nutrition. While we were talking in person, I learned more about her educational journey to become Dr. Claudia and her passion for intuitive and mindful eating. This woman is my intuitive eating go-to and someone I admire for how she is using her expertise in health communications to educate the world on food freedom.

Please enjoy my awesome conversation with Dr. Claudia.

Conversation 86: The Story, Journey and Passion of Mary Purdy, MS, RDN

“I have always loved food and I’ve always loved nutrition. The idea of being able to make a living helping people realize the potential of food to prevent, address and potentially reverse chronic illness was a total joy to discover.” - Mary Purdy, MS, RDN

Today’s conversation is with Mary Purdy, a registered dietitian, speaker, writer, video star and host of Mary’s Nutrition Show.

Over a year ago, I watched a video of a dietitian in a beautiful red dress dancing in the kitchen with leafy greens and kissing an onion. I knew in that moment I needed to meet this person and was thrilled when I was introduced to Mary through a previous guest, Krista Ulatowski. Mary has the most amazing energy and when I learned more about her unique journey, it is easy to understand how she is marrying all of her professional passions like the star that she is.

Please enjoy my conversation with Mary.

Conversation 84: The Story, Journey and Passion of Amy Sowards, MS, RDN

“I always say, my whole path, even though it was very scattered and wasn’t planned, I do think it was leading up to the fact I wanted to help the (dietetics) profession. It is really sad when dietitians don’t feel appreciated or are getting paid for what they are worth. I know I am only one person, but how can we change that? The more dietitians who work for themselves, the better it is for everyone. For example: if there are less dietitians for hospital jobs, they they have to pay more and really respect those positions. The more diverse we get, the more we will gain respect .” - Amy Sowards, MS, RDN

Today’s conversation is with Amy Sowards, a registered dietitian who is the founder and owner of the Dietitian Institute, intended for the dietitian looking to start their own business.

I was graciously introduced to Amy by Libby Rothschild when I was doing some research on CEU’s and Amy was extremely helpful. Then I realized I had done a webinar provided by Amy’s business and I knew I needed to have a conversation with her. Amy is very honest about her path to owning a business and discovering her professional passion, because it wasn’t always easy or a direct journey. She is now passionate about helping other dietitians prevent those mistakes and guiding them in the right direction with her own personal experiences and expertise through trainings, free webinars and personal coaching.

Please enjoy my conversation with Amy.

Conversation 83: The Story, Journey and Passion of Andrew Doherty, RDN

“Young dietitians that are just getting into the professional world, struggle with the idea that if you're not in a job title or role that says registered dietitian, then you’re not (practicing) your role. I don’t think that’s a good way to look at it because there are so many opportunities for someone who has a nutrition background and understanding of it that can promote healthy eating in numerous different ways. I just (practice) in a different way where I look at organizations as a whole .” - Andrew Doherty, RDN

Today’s conversation is with Andrew Doherty, a registered dietitian who does not work in the traditional setting and enjoys sharing his simple but delicious life with food.

A few years ago, I received a comment on Twitter from Andrew because we had an Iowa connection, so of course I had to start following him. I was immediately drawn to his witty banter and views from his own personal kitchen. Andrew and I talk about his non-traditional role as a dietitian, how you can influence and practice our profession in a variety of ways and what the future holds for him as he is just starting his MBA. Andrew is very practical in his approach to sharing his journey and inspires me to cook more by making it look easy.

Please enjoy my conversation with Andrew.

Conversation 82: The Story, Journey and Passion of Mitch Zandes, MS, RD, CSCS

“One of the biggest pleasures I’ve found out about being an inpatient dietitian is being one of the services that actually sit down and listen to the patient by talking to them and kind of making them feel safe by listening to what they have to say. In my role, I definitely take pride in being something that is going to give my education and treat the patient, but at the same time, I’m going to ask them how there day was. I am going to ask them about their family and build a relationship.” - Mitch Zandes, MS, RD, CSCS

Today’s conversation is with Mitch Zandes, a registered clinical dietitian who has an interesting journey to dietetics and who has a goal of being the smartest dietitian that ever was.

There are some humans you come across and just know you instantly like. Mitch is one of those dietitians who caught my eye with his passion for discussing nutrition research and creating conversations in a unique way on social media. During our conversation, Mitch gets very personal about his journey to dietetics and how his life has changed dramatically over the past six years. After listening to this conversation, you will understand why he wants to keep gaining as much knowledge as possible in dietetics, how he uses social media to grow his expertise, and how I would want him to be my dietitian in the hospital.

Please enjoy my conversation with Mitch.

Conversation 81: Cocktails and Conversation with Dave Sherotski

Recently, I may have mentioned in previous podcasts about how it’s never too late to try something new or to reinvent yourself a little. With that being said, I’m trying out something new with the podcast this week and hope to have a few times of the year, where I get to have a different style of conversation.

I feel every great conversation is had over a meal or a cocktail (or mocktail if you choose). These conversations take on their own life and travel into unique directions, which is what truly matters. Periodically, I will putting on my party pants, pouring myself something refreshing to drink and inviting a guest to just see where the words take us. In this debut episode of Cocktails and Conversations, I invited back one of my favorite guests, also known as the king of #foodfetishfriday, the food porn unicorn, or the D.A.V.E Sherotski, to talk summer just in time for the upcoming 4th of July holiday.

Cheers!

Conversation 79: The Story, Journey and Passion of Allison Tropf, MS, RD, CSSD

“If I am interested in something, I try not to let things scare me. There are definitely are things that are scary, like starting a private practice (that was super scary). I just tell people, if you have an interest in something and you want to try it, don’t look at how long it’s going to take you to get there or don’t look at the end result. You have to literally take one step at a time, one teeny tiny step.” - Allison Tropf, MS, RD, CSSD

Today’s conversation is with Allison Tropf, a registered dietitian who specializes in eating disorders, sports nutrition and is passionate about helping individuals develop a healthy relationship with food and their bodies.

At the end of April, I headed to the beautiful state of Michigan to speak with the Michigan Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics during their Annual Meeting. Each time I travel, I love having the opportunity to meet new people and hopefully podcast with them. Allison became my new friend in Michigan and we had the best conversation. Allison’s passions for sports nutrition and eating disorders come from a deeply rooted personal experiences in both. She was a collegiate athlete who struggled with her own eating disorder and shares her story of recovery and her purpose of helping individuals like herself. She bravely started her own practice and is now living her professional dreams. Allison provides a lot of great insight and advice on starting a private practice and sincerely shares it all from a genuine personal place.

Please enjoy my conversation with Allison.

Conversation 78: The Story, Journey and Passion of Susie Roberts, RDN, LD, CWPD, Certified Intrinsic Coach®

“I have learned, as I keep moving forward, a lot of times you come to a fork in the road. You have this opportunity or you have this opportunity or maybe the other is you just stay where you are. And what I have realized is, you can stay just where you are. That’s kind of the safe option, but you also have to weight if you are happy there, do you feel valued there, do they support and believe in what you’re doing and what your purpose is there.” - Susie Roberts, RDN, LD, CWPD, Certified Intrinsic Coach®

Today’s conversation is with Susie Roberts, a second career dietitian who was attending the same college as her teenage son when she purposely and passionately choose dietetics.

A few years into my retail dietetic career, I was contacted by Susie asking if she could interview me on my role as a registered dietitian. When we met and started talking, I kept finding myself wanting to interview her about all the professional experiences she has had in her lifetime. All of her jobs actually lead her to becoming a dietitian, without her really even knowing it until much later in life. Susie is the perfect example of it is never to late in your life to do what you love. She is also the perfect example a very passionate dietitian who I know has inspired many other individuals along the way and is now using her expertise in leadership in her current job.

Please enjoy my conversation with Susie.

Conversation 77: The Story, Journey and Passion of Emily Richter, RD2Be

“One of my favorite models is we have 2 ears and one mouth for a reason. It is super important that you listen, but you also have your mouth and you should be able to talk and you should be able to share and have input. So take that and turn it into however it speaks to you.” - Emily Richter, RD2Be

Today’s conversation is with Emily Richter, and RD2Be who decided to change her career completely, go back to school and become an RD.

This is part 2 of my Wisconsin Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics adventure, where I bring to you today, a very inspiring RD2Be. Emily was the moderator for my session at the meeting and was also the recipient of the Outstanding Dietetic Student Award at this years meeting. Emily has a fantastic story of how she was inspired to go back to school after someone she knew saw something in her she didn’t. After going back to school, she chose dietetics as her future second career. I am excited to share with you her story so far. This is a great podcast to listen to if you are thinking about making a change in your professional life.

Conversation 75: The Story, Journey and Passion of Amy Giffin, MS, RD, CD, SNS

“I think working in schools is just great to be able to feed kids and feel good about it, especially the ones that are in need. These are the kids that are relying on school meals for the majority of their food, which is about 50% of our kids. It is good because it allows us opportunities to provide those free meals.” - Amy Griffin, MS, RD, CD, SNS

Today’s conversation is with Amy Giffin, a registered dietitian with a passion for gardening, food, cooking and cheese.

In April, I got the amazing opportunity to head to the Wisconsin Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and speak with a group of upcoming RD’s. This connection happened because Amy spoke at the Iowa Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics annual meeting a few years ago and she remembered me from that meeting. Amy was born and raised in Wisconsin with her father having a long career in the cheese business. She initially thought she wanted to be a food scientist but quickly fell in love with dietetics early in her college career. She has had a variety of jobs so far and always seems to come back to food service management as her specialty. Amy and I took a few moments during the busy WAND annual meeting that she planned and she is preparing to serve as president this upcoming year.

Conversation 74: The Story, Journey and Passion of Karlee Golightly, RD, LD, RYT

“If you think about the (dietetic) culture we live in, it’s pretty competitive. Undergrad, grad school, your internship, is all very competitive. But I think there is something to be said for competition with yourself versus competition with others. I think competing with yourself and trying to make a better version of yourself can be really positive and a really enriching experience. ” - Karlee Golightly, RD, LD, RYT

Today’s conversation is with Karlee Golightly, a donut-loving dietitian and yoga teacher who helps real people rediscover joy with food and movement.

Through this series of podcast, I have been sharing the many fantastic people I have met on instagram with Karlee being one of them. As I continued to follow her, I felt as if I knew her in some way outside of her beautiful food photos, including photos of amazing donuts and her contagious smile. Then it clicked, I did know her. I met Karlee while she was a dietetic intern with a friend of mine and now she is living her passion out with being a RD and a yoga instructor. Karlee is full of moxie and has a fantastic view on how we can make the world a happier place with our own mindset and dietitian expertise

Conversation 73: The Story, Journey and Passion of Dina D’Alessandro, RD

“You have to sometimes be uncomfortable in progressing. Not necessarily like, oh I’m going to go skydiving because I am afraid of heights, but just taking that moment to say this is a situation that makes me uncomfortable. Then I can prepare myself for another experience like that, a similar experience. Now, I am prepared and I have the tools and strategies to understand how to address it next time.” - Dina D’Alessandro, RDN

Today’s conversation is with Dina D'Alessandro, a Registered Dietitian who is passionate about helping people embrace and develop new relationships with food in her own personal community.

Dina is a human who inspires me from the other side of the country. I was excited to learn more about her on a professional and personal level during our conversation, which exceeded my expectations. Dina is the dietitian I am constantly striving to be. She is passionate about nutrition and food in her community, by volunteering her time and providing nutrition education programming right where she lives, works at a high-risk ob-gyn practice, runs a part-time private practice and is a preceptor. She is also so close to graduating with her masters degree, is working on getting fit by 50 and carries a pure entrepreneurial spirit.

Conversation 72: The Story, Journey and Passion of Carrie Moody, RDN

“I’ve always meal prepped. I have done it for years for myself and my family. I would pack (food) for my husband and send his meals to work with him and his co-workers would say - Can your wife cook for me, I’d pay her - and I would say no because I really don’t like to get into all of that and be in the kitchen that much. So I decided to start teaching people how to do it. That way, I’ll give them the tools and show them exactly what I do and they can pay me for those services and can go on their way and do it themselves. ” - Carrie Moody, RDN

Today’s conversation is Carrie Moody, a Registered Dietitian who teaches people to meal prep in their homes, is a Barre3 Fitness Instruction and is often found dancing in the kitchen.

I am a fan of humor and Carrie was someone who made me laugh right from the start with her social media posts. I would see her beautiful meal prep photos, which drew me into watching more of her Instagram feed and getting myself a little more inspired to cook. Carrie has a realistic and humorous way of looking at life and food. She is a busy wife and mom of 4, but still finds a way to inspire others in the kitchen and with their physical fitness. She owns her own private practice, develops recipes, does nutrition coaching, meal prep lessons and is a Barre3 Instructor.

Please enjoy my conversation with Carrie.

Conversation 70: The Story, Journey and Passion of Chef Stacey Wertzberger

“The more I grow up and the more I learn new things, my passion is to teach people how to cook. I feel like cooking is an art form that’s dying. In our culture, we can go to any restaurant (and think about how many restaurants are out there) and it’s just easier for someone else to cook for you, if you don’t know what you’re doing . ” - Chef Stacey Wertzberger

Today’s conversation is with the woman who gets me excited to cook, try new things in the kitchen, makes me laugh, has 4 kids AND is very passionate about having a lot of color on her plate, my friend and chef, Stacey Wertzberger.

Stacey and I started working together almost 10 year ago and we have collaborated on many cooking and nutrition projects. Some of these have been at work and some of them have been outside of work as we have become friends. Stacey has a realistic and down-to-earth outlook on food and cooking, which applies to how she prepares food in all aspects of her life. Stacey has taught me a lot about food but especially has changed my feelings about cooking, that is doesn’t have to be complicated. In our conversation today we talk food, cooking, kids and how she decided to try a new adventure: completing her first Half Ironman.

“I really loved science and thought I wanted to go into pharmacy research. It was after my car accident, when I had my spinal cord injury, they said because I was in such good shape that helped me recover from the surgeries a lot better. It was then I thought prevention was a lot better, was what I was interested in and I started looking into dietetics. In my internship program, which was very clinically focused, we had about ½ a lecture on spinal cord injuries. Most people never learn anything about it, so I definitely want to spread the word. ” - Liz Dunn, MPH, RDN

Today’s conversation is with Liz Dunn, a registered dietitian with a passion for sports nutrition, being active and wheelchair rugby.

This is another episode of where I sing the praises of Instagram and how it brings people together. I started following Liz last year and I remember the first photo of hers I saw. It was of her with holding her paper stating she had passed the RD exam. But what really caught my attention was she said in the caption “I may not be where I hoped to be at this point, but that’s ok.” I remember thinking, neither am I and you know what, it is ok! There is so much more to Liz’s story and I am happy we were able to have such a great conversation.

Conversation 66: The Story, Journey and Passion of Sarah Menzel, RD2Be

“It’s easy to think - oh I want to do Pediatrics or I want to do Oncology (as a student) but you definitely need to get in that environment. There is also a lot of sadness, especially in Pediatric Oncology and you really need to hear the raw side of it to even see if you are comfortable in that environment. Job shadowing has been huge for me and Dietitians are the nicest people out there to job shadow with. ” - Sarah Menzel, RD2Be

Today’s conversation is with Sarah Menzel, one of my first clients I worked with who diagnosed with celiac disease and who is now studying to be a Registered Dietitian.

A little over 5 years ago, I remember high school Sarah and her mom coming to visit me at work because Sarah was newly diagnosed with Celiac Disease and were in need of help grocery shopping. I would have never guessed a few years later, Sarah would head off to Iowa State and decide to become a Registered Dietitian herself. I have enjoyed getting to know her over the years and work with her off and on during her undergraduate career. Sarah shared more of her own personal story of becoming interested in nutrition as a profession and is looking forward to applying for her internship this fall.

Conversation 65: The Story, Journey and Passion of Dave Sherotski

“Nobody cooks anymore and it drives me insane! Cooking is relaxing, it’s easy. You can drink while you’re doing it. You can throw on some music, you can throw on a podcast or anything like that and you just go with it. For me, it’s awesome.” - Dave Sherotski

Today’s conversation is with Dave Sherotski, whose favorite things are Food & Booze, Fitness, Fun, Friends, Family, Philly

I think I may have a slight crush on my guest today because you should see his food photos he shares on Instagram and THEN you should read the witty captions. I started following Dave through other RD’s on this social media platform and knew by his second post, I would be a follower for life. Dave is creative in the kitchen and creative with his words, has always had a passion for cooking creatively since he was a kid cooking with his dad and grandpa because the women of his family refused to cook holiday dinners, has auditioned and competed for spots on a couple popular cooking shows and has currently found himself a food fan base.

Please enjoy my very fun conversation with Dave.

“I’m a firm believer in you have to do what you love. If you have to wake up and you feel like work is work and you dread it, then you’re not where you need to be. ” - Sarah Cortese, RD, LD

Today’s conversation is with Sarah Cortese, a registered dietitian with a lot of sass and a love for collecting cookbooks.

A couple of podcasts ago, I mentioned a Registered Dietitian Summit I went to sponsored by Midwest Dairy and the National Pork Board. I was fortunate to meet new registered dietitian friends. At our first dinner meet and greet when we arrived, we introduced ourselves to the group. I knew instantly when Sarah introduced herself, we would connect and be friends. Sarah is a realistic dietitian who cares deeply for the community and meeting people where they are along their wellness journey. She currently resides in Oklahoma, is a proud mom, has a passion for long term care, has worked as a retail dietitian and is ready for her next adventure.

Please enjoy my conversation with Sarah.

Conversation 62: The Story, Journey and Passion of Beverly Price RD, MA, E-RYT 200, C-IAYT, CEDRD-S

“I think for anybody going into the field (of dietetics) who maybe have the mindset of ‘I want to do this’ I think it is really important to be open. As you get different experiences, you see what you want and what you don’t what. Then you can actually apply some of the things that maybe you didn’t think were relevant and it ends up being relevant to what you might be doing in the future. ” - Beverly Price RD, MA, E-RYT 200, C-IAYT, CEDRD-S

Today’s conversation is with Beverly Price, an entrepreneur with a passion for owning her own practice, serving the eating disorders community and yoga.

While attending FNCE last fall, I decided to participate in the Entrepreneur Spotlight during the Nutrition Entrepreneurs Dietetic Practice Group Networking Event. There were a plethora of fantastic RD’s sharing their product and services, with a few catching my eye and Beverly was one of them. She was showcasing her private practice specializing in eating disorders but more specifically her Mindfulness-Based Yoga Therapy Training in Eating Disorders. I did not get a ton of time to talk with her there, so I knew I had to have a podcast with her.

Please enjoy my conversation with Beverly.

Upcoming Training: Mindfulness-Based Yoga Therapy Training Retreat in Eating Disorders for Professionals, October 27-November 3, 2018 - Tucson, Arizona, for more information and to connect with Beverly, go to her website.

Conversation 61: The Story, Journey and Passion of Lucas Sjostrom

“Our farmers are the experts. Every farm is different, we have the biggest and the smallest farms, every kind of operation you can imagine and we all are pulling the same weight. We are actually happy to celebrate our differences. For people who have never been to a farm before or never talked to a farmer before, they might assume all farming is this way and they do it like this but there are different soils, climates, even different breeds of cows that leads farmers to manage things in different ways, which I think is great. There is no one way of farming that is better or worse. ” - Lucas Sjostrom

Today’s conversation is with Lucas Sjostrom, a farmer and passionate professional working for Minnesota dairy farmers

Last September I was fortunate to attend a RDN Farm Tour Summit hosted by Midwest Dairy and the National Pork Board in Minneapolis, MN. I was very excited because I had the opportunity to tour both dairy and pork farms to learn more about farming practices in the midwest. Part of the tour took me to Sjostrom Farms, a dairy farm in Lafayette, MN where I met Steve and his son Lucas. Not only is Lucas a Lucas is a son, a brother, a husband, a father, a part-time farmer, the Industry Relations Director for Midwest Dairy, the Executive Director of the Minnesota Milk Producers Association, and last but not least a tour guide at Redhead Creamery, which his wife is the President and CEO.

Please sit back and enjoy my interesting conversation with Lucas.

Conversation 60: The Story, Journey and Passion of Monica Salafia, MS, RDN, CPT

“Who gets more nutrition questions than personal trainers? It is an unfortunate reality we are all facing (as dietitians). Right now, gyms and fitness studios and even wellness centers don’t really have Dietitians on staff which is one of my goals. It is my ultimate goal in life to make the “Fitness Dietitian” a thing. We have clinical, we have community, we have food service (as rotations in our internships). We need fitness, it needs to be a core thing.” - Monica Salafia, MS, RDN, CPT

Today’s conversation is with Monica Salafia, a registered dietitian, personal trainer and side hustle guru.

Monica was a registered dietitian who caught my eye on social media with first, her stellar meal planning skills and secondly, with adorable photos of her pets. Since she was a teenager she has always been interested in fitness and found herself lifting weights with her brothers. It was one of her brothers who suggested nutrition and dietetics as a career to her and the rest is history. She has married her two passions into many different sources of income. Not only does she work a fulltime job as a health coach but she also has her own side hustle and business providing her nutrition and fitness expertise within her community.

Please enjoy my conversation with Monica.

Conversation 58: The Story, Journey and Passion of Sarah Dahms, RD-to-Be

“When I first started in dietetics, I had no idea what I wanted to be but I knew there were a bunch of different options I could choose from. I always kind of desired to be an entrepreneur, to have my own practice. However, now that I’m learning more and more I really like education and promoting nutrition education through social media platforms. I am excited and leaving the doors open, listening to everyone's stories.” - Sarah Dahms, RD-to-Be

Today I am reconnecting with my student side and having a conversation today with RD-to-Be, Sarah Dahms.

You all know by now how much I love dietetic students and interns that I want to stay in touch with that time in my life and be a mentor going through all the crazy that comes along with the beginnings of our profession. Sarah and I met through Instagram and I admire her for all she does as a busy RD-to-Be. She is VERY active in the student component of the Texas Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, which is something that wasn’t even on my radar as a student. She supports and connects students all over the state and helps other RD’s-to-Be obtain opportunities to help them with their future.

Please enjoy my conversation about where it all begins as an RD-to-Be with Sarah.

Conversation 57: The Story, Journey and Passion of Sara Gotch, Owner of Gnarly Pepper

“Talk to some mentors and different people in the field that you are going into (with your product). As far as jumping in, a lot of entrepreneurs don’t tell you how much time is invested when you become your own boss and I think it is because if you don’t try, you’re always going to wonder what if. No one wants to be a dream crusher. It’s such a fun experience to always try. I’d say if it’s in your gut, you gotta go. ” - Sara Gotch, Owner of Gnarly Pepper

My conversation today is with boss babe and product entrepreneur, Sara Gotch.

It is a blast to be connected to new people through friends you have met along the way and this is exactly how Sara and I met. Sara is a fellow Iowan who loved to eat dips as a kid, realized the serving size of dips, took a leap of faith, quit her job and created dip mixes she loved to eat and was proud to share with the rest of the world. Sara and I talk about what it is like to create a product and all there is involved to get the product to the people. If you are someone thinking about making your own product, this podcast is for you!

Please enjoy my conversation with Sara.

Conversation 56: The Story, Journey and Passion of Gisela Bouvier, MBA, RDN, LDN

“When you’re standing in front of a mirror and being able to say something positive about yourself, when you are able to be good to yourself and love yourself, there is a huge correlation between this and the relationship you have with food. When you are able to sit and enjoy a meal, that’s self love. That’s saying I love this, my body is enjoying it and I deserve this and I am worthy of it.” - Gisela Bouvier, MBA, RDN, LDN

My conversation today is with Gisela Bouvier, a registered dietitian with the most sincere passion in helping others practice body kindness and mindful eating.

I feel Instagram is the social media matchmaker for like-minded people by connecting us with each other. Enter Gisela Bouvier. Connecting with Gisela through Instagram lead to a quick but intimate meeting at FNCE and this amazing conversation. This was a gift to me. As she told me before, she is an open book and shares her own personal journey through an eating disorder, being in jobs that didn’t bring her joy and leading her to the passionate and purposeful life she leads today. Each time I have listened to our conversation, I get happy tears in my eyes.

Do one positive thing for you today and please listen to my great conversation with Gisela.

Conversation 55: The Story, Journey and Passion of Nicole Rodriguez, RDN, NASM-CPT

“I live by the ethos: do a lot of things well. I think it’s ok if you’re not totally specialized the very, very best in just one thing. I think you can do a lot of things very well and you’re always going to eat and you’re always going to be busy. Your life will be interesting and you will be fulfilled. I think this field (of dietetics) attracts that.” - Nicole Rodriguez, RDN, NASM-CPT

My conversation today is with my strength training girl crush and Registered Dietitian, Nicole Rodriguez

I love the space of instagram because I feel this is the social media place for all kinds of people sharing great things, including glimpses into one's personal life. I started following Nicole on Instagram because her videos and explanation of strength training was something I wanted to incorporate more into my life. It is so awesome to see strong women lifting heavy weight and she inspired me from day one. I actually got to meet her in person at FNCE this year and my girl crush is even greater. Nicole is a kindred spirit and everything about her passions and philosophies is something you will want to hear more about.

Please enjoy my awesome and inspiring conversation with Nicole.

Conversation 54: The Story, Journey and Passion of Crystal Wilson, Ed.S, RD, LD

“It all comes back to people taking the time to help you along the way and it’s really something that I’ve tried to do in my career. If I could give back to one person like all of these individuals gave back to me (in my profession), then I feel like I’ve honored them. I hope that day happens .” - Crystal Wilson, Ed.S, RD, LD

My conversation today is with a new friend who feels like an old friend and registered dietitian, Crystal Wilson.

Last spring, I was fortunate enough to travel to Boise, Idaho and be with the members of the Idaho Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. In preparation for my trip, I was excited to meet different dietitians from other states and wanted to schedule a podcast with a dietitian from Idaho. Crystal so graciously volunteered her time to stay after the annual meeting and have a conversation with me. We had the best conversation, that even brought tears to my eyes because of her passion to being a lifelong learner and impeccable leader. Crystal embodies what I want to be when I grow up, not only as an outstanding dietitian but a mentor who is one of the genuine people I have met along the way.

Please enjoy our conversation and Crystal’s unexpected dietitian journey.

Conversation 53: The Story, Journey and Passion of Erik Heard

“I want my students to be able to move and do adventurous things in their life and not be kind of stuck on a spot because they can’t move their bodies by being unhealthy or having health problems I want them to get that kind of joy that I got out of my journey of getting healthy .” - Erik Heard

My conversation today is with my favorite physical education teacher, Erik Heard.

Almost 2 years ago, I was working on a contract project with the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics as a Registered Dietitian Coach assisting schools in applying for the HealthierUS School Challenge and being recognized for being a school excelling in healthier lunchrooms and physical activity. I was assigned to Edmunds Elementary in Des Moines Public Schools and this is when I met Erik, who is one of the most passionate teachers I have ever encountered. Educating kids about movement, enjoying health at every size and finding an activity that brings each child joy is what Erik passionately teaches in his classroom every day. It is a great conversation to learn about health and wellness from the perspective of a teacher in elementary education for health professionals and parents.

Please enjoy my conversation with Erik.

Conversation 52: The Story, Journey and Passion of Libby Rothschild, MS, RDN

“I think you have to take one thing at a time and see with trial and error what’s working and what’s not and that can be really frustrating and challenging for people. When I first started with my failure of a website, I was so discouraged and I didn’t have anyone telling me to keep going and I just felt overwhelmed. I don’t want professionals, specifically dietitians or dietetic students to feel that way. Being a dietitian or on your way to being a dietitian...that’s enough.” - Libby Rothschild, MS, RDN

My conversation today is with registered dietitian, Libby Rothschild.

In the past year, I have met many new professionals and friends on the social media platform of Instagram with Libby being one of my favorites. Libby is very passionate about being a strong support system for other registered dietitians and RDs-to-be, as well as individuals passionate about food, sustainability, education, and health professionals. She wears many different hats as a registered dietitian and I can honestly say after interviewing her in personal, she loves all of them. I admire her for the value she brings to our profession and her ability create relationships, even on the internet. This is a podcast you will for sure want to listen to and it will remind you the world is your oyster!

Please enjoy my conversation with Libby.

Conversation 51: The Story, Journey and Passion of Jonathan “Toby” Reed

“I think that our products are really made with passion and are very true to what they are. We try to keep them simple but also make them taste good. When I think about who is coming to a dietitian, it is someone who needs assistance and help. For me, I would love to have someone recommend a product to fill that void of what I feel I was missing. For me, that was forgetting about soda.” - Jonathan “Toby” Reed

My conversation today is with Jonathan “Toby” Reed, Owner of MOCU Health.

For all of my listeners, I want to share things I love with you. I am very particular about food and products and really try to align myself and my brand with other like minded brands. I am excited to share with you my podcast with the owner of one things and brands I love, Mocu Health. Toby has an unbelievable story of how he got into the business and why he has so much passion for healthy food and drinks. He is very passionate about meeting people where they are on their wellness journey and creating accessible and affordable products for all consumers. I use his products every day and truly believe and love his company.

I hope you enjoy my podcast with Toby.

Conversation 50: The Story, Journey and Passion of Stephanie Cundith, MS, RD, LD

“It’s very easy to react and provide facts (to consumers questions), we are filled with facts as dietitians. It’s not always the best way to reach a person. It’s really figuring out a way to have a conversation so that maybe the chance of you opening someone's mind is greater if they feel like their talking with you versus being talked at.” - Stephanie Cundith, MS, RD, LD

My conversation today is with nutrition communicator expert, Stephanie Cundith.

A few years ago, I was invited to attend a nutrition communicator event hosted by Midwest Dairy. Being new to the communication aspect of my job, I was very excited for this opportunity thanks to Stephanie Cundith. Stephanie has a very unique journey in becoming a registered dietitian with communications always being her underlying superpower. For the past 11 years, she has been working for the dairy farmers of the midwest and has found her professional and personal passions. Stephanie is someone who inspires me and I know she will inspire you too!

Conversation 49: The Story, Journey and Passion of Dr. Felicia Stoler, DCN, MS, RD, FACSM, FAND

“One of the most important things for us to remember is being grounded. There is still more for us to know. Yes, we can be the nutrition experts, there is always more to learn because science changes. It doesn’t change in terms of being right and wrong, but we learn more.” - Dr. Felicia Stoler, DCN, MS, RD, FACSM, FAND

My conversation today is with America's Health & Wellness ExpertTM Felicia Stoler.

At the Iowa Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Annual Meeting’s expo, there was this eye catching booth with tons of pink with a vibrant and interactive woman manning the booth. This is where I met Felicia Stoler, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Exercise Physiologist, Author and Journalist, as well as co-creator of Regular Girl, prebiotic fiber and probiotics for women, which is what brought her to Iowa. As I talked with her more, I quickly realized I needed to do a podcast with her and learn more about her journey, not only with her extensive education background but with the expertise as an on-air talent, as well as other forms of media. I learned a lot during our conversation and I hope you do too.

Please enjoy my conversation with Felicia.

Conversation 48: The Story, Journey and Passion of Jill Castle, MS, RD, LDN

“My parents never harped on us for whether we were eating enough or what choices we were making, there was no discussion about food. I tell all my clients now there is one thing I don’t want them to do, I don’t want them to talk about food at the table. You don’t need to educate your child about food and nutrition while they are eating, just talk about anything else because it feels like pressure.” - Jill Castle, MS, RD, LDN

My conversation today is with America’s Childhood Nutrition Expert and Registered Dietitian, Jill Castle

A few weeks ago, I had the privilege to listen to Jill provide a presentation to the Iowa Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Since I currently do not practice in child nutrition, I was interested in learning about how this area of practice has changed. So much of our thoughts, beliefs and practices around food start as a child and childhood nutrition is more important than ever. With the many different challenges of feeding children, Jill provides a multitude of resources for professional and families. She has always had a passion for pediatric nutrition and has published book on the topic as well as started her own podcast over the past year.

I hope you enjoy my podcast with Jill as much as I did.

Conversation 47: The Story, Journey and Passion of Travis Gaule

“Your building up weather and building up your lifestyle after you get out of college, as long as you can control that and not worry about what society, your friends and whoever it is are doing (when it comes to money). Just do your thing and be smart about it. Part of that is getting in touch with the professionals, whether it is the financial advisor or CPA, that’s what we are here for. ” - Travis Gaule

My conversation today is with Travis Gaule, Financial Advisor

As we enter into the world of practicing as a registered dietitian, I think we tend to focus a lot on the excitement of being an RD and not all the other important and financial details. For those of you starting your first job, for those of you changing jobs and for those of you who might be taking the leap into being an entrepreneur, finding a smart financial partner is so important. I have been in a 3 scenarios and I thought it was very necessary for me to seek out a financial advisor I trusted to help me along the journey. If you have been in any of these situations or have been contemplating planning for retirement ever in your life, this is a must listen podcast. I think you will really resonate with his comparison of our two professions and how similar they are.

I hope you enjoy my podcast with my financial advisor, Travis.

“Sometimes, you just try too hard. Sometimes, you have to let it find you. That’s what I am finding. You can search and search and search and then don’t second guess yourself. You just have to recognize, you know, what I’ve got and this is it.” -Pat Hoffmann

My conversation today is with Pat Hoffmann, the owner of Lonely Oak Distillery

I come from middle America, small town Iowa. And my small town, I mean small, around 200 people is surrounded by a number of similar small towns. There are many great people that come out of this tiny pocket of Iowa and I get very excited when people from there are doing great things. Pat Hoffmann, a fellow small town resident has started his own distillery, making craft spirits from the land he farms. My cocktail of choice almost always involves vodka and I was very intrigued by a delicious vodka coming from his business only a few miles away from my parents house. Pat, his wife Amy and his five children are all in this together with Pat’s passion for making products he believes in and cares for from seed-to-spirit (which is what I love the most!)

Please pour yourself a proper drink and enjoy my conversation with Pat.

Conversation 45: The Story, Journey and Passion of Jody Gatewood, RD, LD

“ I think the big thing for me was prevention. A number of my family members had diabetes and high blood pressure and it was definitely linked to how they ate. I want to help prevent a lot of health issues that are related to food. I don't want to give medicine to help you with your diabetes or blood pressure, I want to teach you about food, how that can play a big role and help people motivate themselves.” -Jody Gatewood, RD, LD

My conversation today is with Registered Dietitian Jody Gatewood.

Jody and I have met through our great state affiliate the Iowa Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. She is taking on planning the annual meeting for next year and I admire her a ton for her willingness to do this. The ironic part of our conversation is that she never planned on staying in Iowa and she has made a comfy home with her husband and 2 kids and is thriving in her career with the Iowa State University Extension. Since I have recently found an interest in the role of Registered Dietitian role in university extension and wish I would have been aware of all the possibilities available to RD’s, I wanted to learn more and learn about the great things Jody is doing professional. She is very passionate about educating and working with Iowans in a group setting and has had a integral role in developing a program called Spend Smart.

Conversation 44: The Story, Journey and Passion of the First Anniversary of Conversations with Anne Elizabeth!

“The one thing I think Registered Dietitians need to do A LOT more of in their life is to toot their own horns. Shout it out to the world that you are the nutrition expert, you are smart, capable and you are the professional all kinds of entities craving nutrition information and advice should seek out. Registered Dietitians are doing amazing things and working in amazing ways. This is why I started this podcast. I want to toot your horn for you, tell your story, share your expertise and then in turn create a kick-ass tribe of registered dietitians who support each other along this crazy, fantastic, challenging and valued journey. It all begins by starting a conversation that truly matters.” - Anne Elizabeth, RD, LD, FAND

Conversation 43: The Story, Journey and Passion of Heather Osby

“If I am in it, then I am all in it. I was working out 4 days a week, doing CrossFit, some yoga and barre and I just wanted to be healthier and do more. If a little is good then a lot must be better right? So I was exposing myself to a lot of semi-questionable nutrition sources and it got to the point where I was almost unhealthy with it. For example, (I believed) healthy was being a raw vegan. My thought process was nothing else was okay and I was really mentally unhealthy about that. That is what I thought you needed to be to be healthy.“ - Healthy Osby

My conversation today is with fitness expert, CrossFit Level 1 Coach, Precision Nutrition Level 1 Coach and Postnatal Fitness Specialist, Heather Osby.

I have had the joy of knowing Heather when I moved to the beautiful city of Des Moines, Iowa, I was connect with her to be my house-hunting warrior. After looking at over 100 homes and then deciding to build, I think that's when she decided she didn’t want to be a real estate agent anymore. No, not really, but life took its tricks and turns and she currently has found her passion in the wellness and fitness world. She is currently a wife and a mom of two, kicking ass in her own garage gym, at her local CrossFit gym and focuses on helping moms all over the country find their own fitness passion, in a safe way. She specializes in pregnancy and postnatal fitness (insert diastasis recti) and even has her own pelvis model she named Nancy to best educate her clients. What I love about her the most is her down-to-earth approach on exercise and nutrition, her virtual business and website and the fact she likes to cuss a little.

A girl after my own heart, please enjoy my conversation with Heather.

Connect with Heather at heather@heatherosby.com and her business Hot and Healthy Life www.hotandhealthylife.com to work with Heather.

Even though her 2 week #MetconsforMoms challenge is over, you can still register here and get the workouts! Follow her on Instagram and see how fun it was. (My a** is still screaming at me!)

Conversation 42: The Story, Journey and Passion of Lori Graff, RDN, LD, CPCC, AFAA

“The first thing you have to do is, you have to keep an open mind...all the time. It is what got you where you are to start with, especially as dietitians. You had some sort of notion to say “hey, nutrition matters” where others weren’t saying that. So you are asking (the important) questions and the minute you stop asking questions like how and why something works, then you’re just going to be lost in the field of medicine right now.” -Lori Graff, RDN, LD, CPPC, AFAA

Miss Lori Graff has always had me in awe of the wealth of knowledge she knows. She has more knowledge of health and nutrition in her pinky finger than I do in my whole brain. I admire this Registered Dietitian for being on the forefront of integrative health. She is a lifelong learner who is very passionate about disease prevention by taking the food and nutrition route first. I have known Lori for almost a decade now, but had no idea how her personal and family experiences has currently lead her to starting her own practice. She is innovative, educated and is open to new science and ways to practice and serve her clients. Everyone, this podcast is great and you will want to listen and learn as much as you can.

Please enjoy and absorb all my awesome conversation with Lori.

Conversation 41: Checking in with Jena Hunt, RD, LD

Today we are doing something a little different. Since I love talking with my favorite people, I am going to check in with some of my previous podcast guests from time to time. Wayyy back in October of 2016, I started this little labor of love and graciously had on my first guest, Jena Hunt. Jena was my first guest and she aired as Episode 1. If you listened to Episode 1, you remember Jena was expecting her first child at that time and starting a diabetes program. I thought it would be fun to see how things are going in her exciting world.

I hope you enjoy my conversation quickie with Jena.

Conversation 40: The Story, Journey and Passion of Lyndi Buckingham-Schutt, RD, LD

“It is so important to let them know what you do and who you are. Talking to someone, when you’re a dietitian, there is a lot more to that. I remember when I starting looking for jobs, I just can’t put into the search engine “Registered Dietitian” I needed to look at other things because maybe the job is not asking you to be a Registered Dietitian but it can fit into this role or bring something they didn’t know they needed into this role. With the position I am taking, it didn’t call for a Registered Dietitian but it’s going to benefit so much by having a Registered Dietitian doing that job.” - Lyndi Buckingham-Schutt, RD, LD

My conversation today is with Registered Dietitian, Lyndi Buckingham Schutt

I had a great conversation with Lyndi who is not only a Registered Dietitian, but she is a PhD candidate and graduate research assistant. She is currently working diligently on finalizing her thesis. Lyndi has volunteered her time with the Iowa Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics as Public Policy and State Policy Representative and has found a passion for policy. She will be working in public policy after she defends her thesis. Lyndi has a unique journey so far and I learned a lot from her story and experiences.

Please enjoy my conversation with Lyndi.

Conversation 39: The Story, Journey and Passion of Alison St. Germain MS, RD, LD

“It is hard to get the buy in with intuitive eating...If you allow this process to happen, you have such a peace and you love to eat. You are also are able to maintain a healthy, I really don’t want to use the word weight because that is used so loosely, but your body is healthy because your body eventually eats what it is suppose to. As a society we micromanage everything so much, including our food and our exercise, everything is so external. This is more taking a step back and looking internal of I’m going to eat because I am hungry, not because it is noon.” - Alison St. Germain MS, RD, LD

My conversation today is with Registered Dietitian, Alison St. Germain

Alison has had a very interesting start when she was deciding what to study in college. She starting out wanting to be a lawyer and then dietetics found her. She has worked in a variety of settings from long term care and private practice to her current role with the Dietetic Internship with Iowa State University. Along the way, she has found her passion for body kindness, intuitive eating and volunteering with different student organizations while she is also raising 2 daughters. Alison has a strong fire burning inside her for our profession and I hope it fires up something inside of you.

Please enjoy my conversation with Alison.

Conversation 38: The Story, Journey and Passion of Nicole White, MBA, RD, CSSD, LDN

“If it’s not a good fit; if it’s the work environment, if it’s your boss, it it’s you, if it’s the people you work with, whatever it is, then you shouldn’t have to be unhappy. Work should be, what I believe, and I know not everyone get’s this luxury, something fun. That’s why I like it so much here (University of Iowa). I just get to come and do different things everyday and interact with so many different people. ” - Nicole White, MBA, RD, CSSD, LDN

My conversation today is with Registered Dietitian, Nicole White

In the past year, the University of Iowa’s Department of Intercollegiate Athletics hired a Registered Dietitian to be their Director of Sports Nutrition. Sports Nutrition is quickly becoming a popular job opportunity for Registered Dietitians and working with all types of college athletes. So, I was very excited when I reached out to Nicole and she agreed to be a part of this podcast. Nicole shared some great information about the blood, sweat and tears she put into finding the perfect sports nutrition job for her and some advice for others looking to get into the profession. You can hear Nicole’s passion throughout our conversation for her job and inspiring others.

Conversation 37: The Story, Journey and Passion of RD-to-be, Sarah Manders

“I always liked going to the grocery store with my mom and that fueled my food interest. My mom read the nutrition labels and I learn from watching her do that when we were shopping. We always had dinner together as a family. Being an intern now is all very fascinating, now I am applying everything I learned in school. ” - Sarah Manders, RD-to-be

My conversation today is with RD-to-be and Dietetic Intern, Sarah Manders

I absolutely love talking with dietetic students and interns because I see myself in these passionate and excited people. Sarah is an RD-to-be with a lot of passion but is also completely open to the dietetics world and what it has to offer. She is early into her internship but is keeping an open mind to all the possibilities this profession has to offer. Our conversation got me excited again and reminds me why I am a dietitian today.

Please enjoy my conversation with Sarah.

Conversation 36: The Story, Journey and Passion of Rachel Wall, RD, LD

“By working in Extension, I get to have feelers within a lot of areas of nutrition. One of the other things I love about my job is the team I get to work with. I feel we are very supportive of each other. There are 12 Nutrition and Wellness Specialist across the state that do the nutrition and wellness programming. I think the great part is, even though I might not see them everyday, we can divide and conquer. Extension gives you the opportunity to explore your personal interests. ” - Rachel Wall RD, LD

My conversation today is with Registered Dietitian Rachel Wall.

Rachel and I had a great conversation today. Rachel radiates passion for being a Registered Dietitian and is flourishing as a Nutrition and Wellness Specialist for the Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. I didn’t not get a lot of experience with Extension when I was in my internship and I think it is very important for many of us to look more into this career opportunity. Rachel and I share many similar interests when it comes to food, cooking and our favorite fruit, cherries. She enjoys and excels as an expert in media by doing a monthly live TV segment and you must follow her Instagram feed for beautiful food photos of recipes she is recreating at home. Another fun and amazing tidbit about Rachel is she has been training and doing triathlons this summer.

Please enjoy my conversation with Rachel.

Conversation 35: The Story, Journey and Passion of Dorothy McClure, RD, LD

“I was used to trying to help fix people and mend them (as a clinical dietitian), all these high risk things and then all of a sudden, I come to long term care and it was really hard for me at first. To think about that people are coming there to live their life out and maybe not go home, that was really hard. But, I enjoyed listening to their stories and learning from them and all their past experiences. ” - Dorothy McClure, RD, LD

My conversation today is with Registered Dietitian Dorothy McClure.

My conversation today has brought a lot of light to long term care for me. I was once also a clinical dietitian and it was something that was never on my radar. Dorothy has opened my eyes to all the wonderful things long term care offers for registered dietitians and for the clients. Dorothy is not only a registered dietitian, but she manages a staff of clinical dietitians, works as an integral part of a team of other allied health professionals, is an adjunct professor, is a certified Serv Safe instructor, and knows the ins and outs of many differet aspects of food service management. She has had quite the career (so far) and I hope this podcast shares with you a new world of job opportunities as a registered dietitian.

Please enjoy my conversation with Dorothy.

Conversation 34: The Story, Journey and Passion of Amber Pankonin, MS, RD, LMNT

“It gets lonely. I think that’s another thing about being an entrepreneur, you’ve got so much stress, with launching a business and doing all these different things and there is that social aspect. You don’t have the camaraderie you once had. That’s where I really turned to social media and building those relationships online with other dietitians who were doing similar work and I felt like I have some community here.” - Amber Pankonin, MS, RD, LMNT

My conversation today is with Registered Dietitian Amber Pankonin.

My conversation today is with one of my favorite boss ladies. She owns StirList and is known as RD Amber in our social media world. Amber is passionate about food, nutrition science and agriculture as a Nutrition & Agriculture Communications Consultant and adjunct instructor. In her bio she writes, “when I grow up, I’d like to be a photographer or maybe a backup dancer because Amber has always had a creative side. She initially was a music major in college. Amber and I talk about her non-traditional route to dietetics and her first jobs, how she became inspired to own her own business, recipe development and how important the art of communication is for dietitians.

Conversation 33: The Story, Journey and Passion of Lisa Nolting, RD, LD

“Food Service is definitely an area that could benefit from more dietitians, not just for their nutrition expertise, but for our management and our leadership skills. I think that’s what school food service really needs in addition to being able to follow the (school meal program) guidelines.” - Lisa Nolting, RD, LD

My conversation today is with Registered Dietitian Lisa Nolting.

My conversation today is with a new friend of mine and I absolutely enjoy talking with her every time I see her. We met through the Iowa Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and I found Lisa’s passion for food service and management to be inspiring, since it is something I have always been a little scared of. In our conversation, Lisa takes me through some her of her bravest moments as a new dietitian and what brings her joy in being a dietitian in a K-12 school system and in her current job with Iowa State University. At Iowa State she has a wide variety of responsibilities, including helping students with food allergies navigate the college dining halls and meeting their nutritional needs. And this is just the beginning...

Please enjoy my conversation with Lisa.

Conversation 32: The Story, Journey and Passion of Tanya Hargrave-Klein, MS, RD, LD

“I fell into dietetics by chance. I had already been working in the fitness world. During undergrad, I taught group fitness classes and I worked in a worksite health promotion program. That really interested me because I liked the marriage of fitness and the nutrition. I loved the wellbeing and wellness work. I was very comfortable in exercise physiology and it allowed me to really dig deep in the kinesiology arena and get that expertise as well (masters degree). I had expertise in both the nutrition and fitness world. I wanted to be on the front end, the prevention side, that is where I felt my talent was.” - Tanya Hargrave-Klein, MS, RD, LD.

My conversation today is with Registered Dietitian Tanya Hargrave-Klein

When I moved to the Des Moines area, about 9 years ago, I started working with a project involving wellness interventions at elementary schools in the area as a contractor with the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Foundation. The project had a group Registered Dietitians providing the education to the students and this is where I met the wonderful and Tanya. Tanya and I worked together on this project for a couple of years and we connected during that time. We have somewhat stayed in contact over the years until recently, we started working together again with the Iowa Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Tanya has always inspired me because when I met her, she was an entrepreneur and had her own business, TAVi Health Incorporated. I love the tagline of her business: “TAVi Health is your partner in wellness and health promotion. Combining the resources of an exercise physiologist and registered dietitian, a therapeutic recreation specialist, and a quirky creative director, we develop unique and innovative wellness incentive campaigns.” If you are thinking of starting your own business, this is a must listen!

Conversation 31: The Story, Journey and Passion of Amanda Kruse, RD, CD

“How can I help myself, how can I help others like me (a college athlete). I really thought originally, that I’m either going to be a coach or a sports dietitian. The more I went to school, learning about food service, I realized I could work in a university with students that were still at the impressionable age to make good choices. I’m a food service girl, currently working with K-12 kiddos but that’s where I started, in college dining services. That was the cool thing, having a dietitian there as a resource to be able to help students eat safely and healthfully. It was fantastic. ” - Amanda Kruse, RD, CD

My conversation today is with Registered Dietitian Amanda Kruse.

While I was continuing my adventure in Indianapolis, then president-elect of the Indiana Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Amanda Kruse just got done putting the final touches on their annual meeting. It was about 9:30 pm and I knew upon first meeting her, passion is everything to Amanda. Amanda learned a lot about being a collegiate athlete, but also being a college student and how important food is where the student is dining. She started her career being a resource for college students in dining services and quickly advanced her career in management in K-12 for the Indianapolis Public Schools. She values conversations like I do and finds her best ones come when talking with students about food. She not only works a full time job, but volunteers for her state affiliate, the Academy and loves being a preceptor.

Please enjoy my conversation with Amanda.

Conversation 30: The Story, Journey and Passion of Christina Ferroli, PhD, RD, FAND

“We (registered dietitians) are the best kept secret. Dietitian’s need to keep exploring what is truly possible and not tend to set limits on themselves. I’m a little rebel raiser. Push the boundaries a little be and bee aware of the possibilities.” - Christina Ferroli, PhD, RD, FAND

My conversation today is with Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Christina Ferroli.

This spring, I had my first and very fast trip to Indianapolis, Indiana where I had the joy to meet some wonderful dietitians with the Indiana Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Christina, so graciously took time out of her busy day to sit down with me and share her story of passion and purpose, while also serving as the president of the Indiana Academy. Christina is dietitian who thrives on experiences. She has worked with Purdue Extension for over 20 years. She enjoys working with the aging population, creating opportunities for other registered dietitians, has found her niche with grant writing (and is a great resource for anyone out there needing help in this area) and has a zest for adventure and food, stemming from her family roots in Italy.

Please enjoy my conversation with Christina.

Conversation 29: The Story, Journey and Passion of Jessie Hatch, MS, RDN, CNSC, CD

“When I was finishing my degree, I had an amazing professor who instilled just a lot of passion and a lot of desire for life-long learning and she encouraged me to pursue a master's degree which ended up being a rollercoaster ride because she passed away during my project. So for awhile, I actually took a few steps back to find out if medical nutrition therapy was where I really needed to be. Those professionals that have gone before make you realize this is worth your time (dietetics), it is going to be hard work but you will love it and it’s worth it. I am always looking for opportunities that are meaningful to me.” - Jessie Hatch, MS, RDN, CNSC, CD

My conversation today is with Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Jessie Hatch. .

Jessie has such a beautiful and poetic dietetic journey so far. She found an interest in nutrition at a young age with her family having a garden and always eating her fruits and vegetables. When she went to college, she took nutrition and fell in love with the class, navigating her way to her dietetics degree with the help of a few very important professors. She sheds some light on getting a masters degree, always being open to opportunities and embracing the importance of being a life-long learner. She is currently working passionately with moms and babies, including neonatals, being in the media providing education and serving as president of the Utah Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

Conversation 28: The Story, Journey and Passion of Kelli Boi, MS, RDN, CD

“I think I have “aha’ moments all the time. In my first year of grad school and I was asked to be an educator, I remember feeling that yes, I want to do that. In my second year of grad school, I had my second “aha” moment when I was working as a diet tech and training a newly hired dietitian, that I had a special set of skills that really was unique and valuable in skilled nursing and long term care. All of which has lead me to my next “aha” moment because my very favorite thing about my job is precepting students. I have an addiction to students. I love taking these people who have a passion and want to practice and really focusing on them and helping them to develop.” - Kelli Boi, MS, RDN, CD

My conversation today is with Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Kelli Boi.

This spring I had the absolute joy to travel to the beautiful state of Utah and speak at the Utah Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics annual meeting, Kelli Boi was the annual meeting chair and graciously took time out of her busy schedule those two days to share with me her inspiring journey so far. Kelli has a strong passion for multiple areas of practice including being an educator, clinical dietitian in long term care and skilled nursing as well as being a full-time preceptor and mentor to future registered dietitians. She is one of the most emotionally invested registered dietitians I have met so far and is very inspiring because she gives 100% to being the expert and stresses the importance to advocate for our profession. Our conversation just made my heart happy.

Please enjoy my conversation with Kelli.

Conversation 27: My Mother’s Day Special, Ruth Huebert

“I did know about a dietitian (before you became one) but I probably wouldn’t have known the difference between a dietitian and a nutritionist. I think a lot of people get that confused. I now know what I’m talking about (when I tell people the difference.” -Ruth Huebert

My conversation today is with my Mom, Ruth.

I was excited to sit down today with my Mom on Mother’s Day, Which is a very special day. I always go back and see her every year and just celebrate her being my Mom. In a conversation a couple of months ago, my mom made the sweet comment that she was the “original dietitian.” That is when the lightbulb went off and I thought it would be a great idea to do a special Mother’s Day podcast with my Mom (and hopefully more). My Mom is great and I love her with all my heart. She really is the inspiration of me becoming a dietitian and I am very thankful.

Please enjoy my very special conversation with my Mom on Mother’s Day.

Conversation 26: The Story, Journey and Passion of Jennifer DeWall, RDN, LD, CSSD, CIC®

“When you have a new position you can overestimate what can be done in a year, but you can underestimate what can be done in 5 years. You think you should be making all these great leaps and bounds but it takes a little bit of time .” - Jennifer DeWall, RDN, LD, CSSD

My conversation today is with Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Jennifer DeWall.

Jen is enthusiastic and open to anything when it comes to being a registered dietitian. In her career, she has placed herself in new positions and welcomed the challenge to create and define those positions. Jen grew up in a home where health and wellness was extremely important. She had an aunt who was a registered dietitian in private practice who in a roundabout way, maybe lead her to her own private practice today. In our conversation we talk about her love for preventative health, sports and athletes, working as a dietary aide, experience with policy, her advice when having your own practice and a new adventure she is a part of called Nourish Mobile Grocery.

Please enjoy my conversation with Jen.

Conversation 25: The Story, Journey and Passion of Ashley Pringle, RD-to-Be

“I knew at some point businesses and corporations would require you to become a registered dietitian. I feel like I need to be educated enough (in dietetics) to help people. I don’t think a nutritionist is going to have the education that we get in MNT (Medical Nutrition Therapy). I’m that type of person, if I am going to do something I am going to do it 100% and whole heartedly and do it right.”- Ashley Pringle

My conversation today is with RD-to-Be, Ashley Pringle. I wanted to have a conversation with Ashley, because she went on a trip with a friend to India and decided to go back to school to help people by being a registered dietitian after working in the business world as an HR recruiter. She reveals her perspective on going back to school, the internship application process and where she see’s herself practicing. Not only is she waiting for her internship match, she is getting married in 6 weeks. I am excited to share her journey and her perspective as an RD-to-Be.

“Finally, I found something that fed my heart (dietetics). I truly believe that where your greatest desire intersects with where you see the worlds greatest need is where you need to be. If you are fulfilled, happiness will follow.”- Brian Smith, RDN, LD

My conversation today is with Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Brian Smith. I have to tell you, sitting and talking with Brian is like sitting with a friend I have known for a 100 years. He is so warm and welcoming. What I love about this conversation with Brian is that he has had multiple careers, has traveled around the world, was a star college athlete, brews his own beer, loves to cook, is raising 2 daughters after the passing of his wife and still lives a good examined life with much satisfaction. He truly embodies the definition of living his passion by being a registered dietitian. If you are someone who has found dietetics later in life, you will find a great connection with Brian. Also, if you are a student or intern, Brian is a mentor who welcomes you with open arms. I wish I would have had him in my life at the start of my dietetics adventures.

I know you will enjoy my conversation with Brian.

Conversation 23: The Story, Journey and Passion of Susan L. Roberts JD, MS, RD

“I think it is really important for us as professionals to call ourselves, we are food and nutrition professionals. We often time say we are nutritionists or we are nutrition professionals, in reality food is what gives us the nutrition. And food, in my belief, as I have been in my career a long time, it’s the food that’s what really important and how that food is grown. You know all that kind of stuff and the sustainability issues are probably more important than the nutrition issues and we really need to be looking at all the issues as professionals in that arena. We can really broaden our area of what we think of as our profession.”- Susan L. Roberts JD, MS, RD

My conversation today is with Registered Dietitian Susan Roberts. Susan has been a pioneer in a variety of professional settings by creating her outstanding professional path. During college, she discovered her appreciation and passion for landscape architecture and agriculture blended well with becoming a registered dietitian. In the middle of her career, Susan went to law school to have the opportunity to influence food policy as a JD and RD. In our conversation, she shares her passion for research, sustainable food systems, owning a private practice, advocacy and policy, childhood obesity, her joy of gardening and cooking, as well as working with the Let’s Move Campaign and the former First Lady Michelle Obama.

Conversation 22: The Story, Journey and Passion of Personal Trainer and Wellness Coach, Andrew Salgado

“If somebody shares their health or wellness experiences, I feel very honored because I feel that health is a very personal thing and if they share that with you, they’re able to tell you what they are going through right now. (When they share this with me) It’s like “wow, that for sharing that with me” and I definelty want to do my best because they’re sharing that for a reason. I try to do my part in taking the information and trying to work with them, find them (my clients) right where they are and I try to meet them at that spot.” - Andrew Salgado

My conversation today is with Personal Trainer and Wellness Coach Andrew Salgado.

As registered dietitians, we sometimes get mistaken for the expert in everything health related. We know as professionals that food, nutrition and physical activity have a very cozy relationship. I don’t know about you, but I was not trained at all in fitness and do not believe I am an expert, but I know how to find them. Which is why I wanted to sit down with Andrew Salgado who is a fitness expert, prsonal trainer and wellness coach. As Andrew puts it, whatever modality you choose you must have good programming because exercise is different from learning other things. You learn the concept and then your body executes the movement and you need proper body awareness for safety. Andrew is also very in-sync with communicating with his clients and meeting people where they are at on their wellness journey through wellness coaching, which sets him apart from a lot of other fitness professionals.

Please enjoy my fun, informative and down to earth fitness conversation with Andrew.

Conversation 21: The Story, Journey and Passion of Lucille Beseler, MS, RDN, LDN, CDE

“As a young dietitian you don’t appreciate all the people you meet along the way. I would say to our young dietitians, stop and savor the moment and appreciate the people that you come in contact with along the way. They may see things in you that you do not see in yourself.” - Lucille Beseler, MS, RDN, LDN, CDE

My conversation today is with Registered Dietitian Lucille Beseler who graciously took time out of her busy schedule to meet with me on a Sunday afternoon. She is a private practice registered dietitian, author and the owner of Family Nutrition Center of South Florida. She has a passion for cooking and painting beautiful flowers. In her spare time, she currently is the President of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and has spent the last year inspiring other registered dietitians for the next century of our amazing profession and and our national organization. During our candid and down to earth conversation, she shares great advice for all dietitians on practicing, advocacy, volunteering, business and just being a great registered dietitian.

Conversation 20: The Story, Journey and Passion of Chef Andrew Kintigh

“It’s all science. Whether it’s baking or traditional cooking. It’s the same when you’re plating a normal entree or a salad, there’s all those components that the chef or even the cook (and you don’t have to be a chef to cook great food). There’s so many chefs that aren’t classically trained that are better than chefs that haven’t gone to school. If you’re going to go to school, you definitely need the real life experience of working on a kitchen line and “being in the weeds” - Chef Andrew Kintigh

My conversation today is with Chef Andrew Kintigh

As registered dietitians, we love food and know exactly how food functions in our bodies and many of us incorporate cooking and recipes into our profession. Enter, Chef Andrew. As a registered dietitian, I value the expertise the professionals who work with food daily, which is knowing the science behind cooking. Chef Andrew is someone I have gotten to know over the past couple years and I value him and his education because he knows more about cooking than I do. Chef Andrew shares his journey and a few tips and tricks for the dietitian who loves to cook.

Please enjoy my conversation with Chef Andrew.

Conversation 19: The Story, Journey and Passion of Registered Dietitian, Anita Turczynski RD, LD

“I was asked to give nutrition talk at my daughter's pre-school (at the time) and I researched fun activities for kids nutrition education. That lead me to providing a presentation for Child and Adult Nutrition Education Programs on teaching nutrition education. I have realized that child nutrition is a passion of mine. It’s not work if you love it. There is always something new to learn.” - Anita Turczynski, RD, LD

My conversation today is with Anita Turczynski, RD, LD

Anita is a one of those people you meet who just radiates positivity both personally and professionally. It was interesting to know she initially majored in accounting in college. While she was navigating her future career plans and after shadowing a registered dietitian, she truly discovered her passion for nutrition. This lead her to an interest in food service nutrition and also a love for nutrition education with children in a public school system. She enjoys the variety of working in school nutrition and also seeing how nutrition education in schools really impacts nutrition at home.

“Food is Medicine. We live in a society where there are so many resources for people to reach out and get help to be healthy. It doesn’t have to be complicated. Keep it simple because it is always the answer.” - Jenny Norgaard, RD, LD

My conversation today is with Jenny Norgaard, RD, LD

Jenny and I go way back to meeting each other during our internship and have shared many great experiences we still discuss and laugh about today, as well as a lifelong friendship. She initially was going to go into nursing and decided after a conversation with a registered dietitian in her hometown, she was hooked.

Conversation 17: The Story, Journey and Passion of Registered Dietitian, Kathryn Thompson, RDN, LD

“Finding the balance of what you eat and what you do is very important for someone recovering from an eating disorder because it can become an issue for compulsive exercise. When I teach multiple (fitness) classes a day, you won’t see me going all out. I am the instructor and I’m their (participants) biggest cheerleader in the room. That balance, I’ve found that and it works for me because I have to be very aware of things in my life. ” - Kathryn Thompson, RDN, LD

My conversation today is with Kathryn Thompson, RDN, LD

Kathryn is someone I have had the joy of collaborating with on different projects involving school nutrition and health. I remember the first day I met Kathryn and her smile and energy were absolutely contagious. As I have gotten to know her over the years, we developed a great friendship and I learned more about her journey to being a registered dietitian nutritionist. She has had an eating disorder and opens up about she realized she needed treatment. Her biggest influence in her decision to become a dietitian, was discovered during her personal recovery.

Please enjoy my conversation with Kathryn.

Conversation 16: The Story, Journey and Passion of Registered Dietitian, Courtney Slater RD, LD, CDE

“I was diagnosed with diabetes when I was 5. I have always had to know the information that’s in food. When I was 17, I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease then I started having to eat gluten-free. My whole life has revolved around food one way or another. If I can go into diabetes education and if I can help prevent one kid from making those same mistakes that I made (as a child with diabetes), then I am doing my job.” - Courtney Slater, RD, LD, CDE

My conversation today is with Courtney Slater, RD, LD, CDE

Courtney has a strong personal connection to nutrition because of her own personal experiences and struggles with diabetes and celiac disease. She initially started her career path in education and teaching because she loved working with kids and along the way she realized she wanted to educate others as a registered dietitian. She is now meshing her 2 passions, kids and diabetes education. Her dietitian journey, so far, is very inspiring and she openly shares her insight on living and help others, especially children, with these diseases.

Please enjoy my conversation with Courtney.

Conversation 15: The Story, Journey and Passion of Registered Dietitian, Adria Huseth

“Don’t be surprised if someone tells you that a business degree is a good with dietetics or a psychology degree because I think having a dual degree or other focus definitely makes you more marketable (as a dietitian)” - Adria Huseth, RD, LD, CPT

My conversation today is with Adria Huseth, RD, LD, CPT

Adria took a little different route to being a dietitian. She was not quite sure what she wanted to do in college and obtained a business degree. With strong family ties to health and the medical field, she always found the human body amazing and knew working in the medical field was in her future. After working in marketing research, she decided her love for the human body and food was her future and became a registered dietitian. In her current job with the National Pork Board, she has successfully combined business and dietetics as well as becoming a new mom and Certified Personal Trainer.

Conversation 14: The Story, Journey and Passion of Registered Dietitian, Ellen Davis RD, LD, CSSD

“I truly developed a passion for nutrition and dietetic when I was running track and cross country at the University of Missouri. I realized far too late in my career as a Division I athlete that I was making poor fueling choices. I made it my goal to become a sports dietitian. Looking back, it was a challenge but I think that is what we do as dietitians, we just put our heads down and just do it. ” -Ellen Davis, RD, LD, CSSD

My conversation today is with Ellen Davis, RD, LD, CSSD

Ellen was always passionate about being an athlete since 7th grade running track and cross country. It wasn’t until college did she realize the connection nutrition had with her performance and health as a Division I athlete. She suffered from many injuries and realized how not fueling her body properly was part of the equation. By being an athlete herself, she wanted to help other athletes learn from her experience and now spends her time working with athletes at all different levels in all different sports. Ellen is one of the most kind and genuine woman and registered dietitians I know. She truly cares about her clients and believes their successes are also her own.

Please enjoy my conversation with Ellen.

Conversation 13: The Story, Journey and Passion of Registered Dietitian, Chere Bork MS, RDN

“I think what comes up is thinking about letting go of perfection. I really believe perfectionism kills. It kills our spirit. I have seen it kill my dietitian clients. Everyday do something that is imperfect and write it down. The more you grow your life, the more you grow your fun.” - Chere Bork MS, RDN

My conversation today is with Chere Bork MS, RDN

Chere Bork is an energy igniter, speaker, media spokesperson, a registered dietitian and is truly living her passion and purpose by helping others living a life where she believes that knowing your purpose, energizes your life, which creates your happiness which you need in order to live healthy and then you can truly feel balance and authentically love your life. I meet Chere a few years ago and listened to her speak at a conference about this exact topic which I feel has had a sincere impact in my current life. I was excited when she was our keynote speaker at our Iowa Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics conference and shared her insight on living a life you love. I knew I had to have a conversation with Chere and be able to share her amazing insights with everyone. I think we could have talked for hours or maybe even days! I hope to have her on again, but for now, absorb all you can and get a taste of Chere’s life from this next hour.

My conversation today is with Brenda Shannon, RD, LD

By listening to my conversations, I hope you know by now how much I enjoy talking with registered dietitians and having them share their story. There is truly something special when I can share the story of a registered dietitian who had a huge impact in my life by being my preceptor, co-worker and now one of my most dearest friends. Brenda chose to become a registered dietitian a little later in life and has worked in a variety of settings with her current position as a registered dietitian in Iowa who works for a special population of individuals at Glenwood Resource Center where her clients have significantly unique nutrition needs.

Conversation 11: The Story, Journey and Passion of Registered Dietitian, Jen Haugen RD, LD

“Everyone has a book inside of them because everybody has a story to share. We are all drawn to stories and how someone else’s life can affect your life and impact you and inspire you and I think every dietitian can help someone.” - Jen Haugen, RD, LDN

My conversation today is with Jen Haugen, RD, LD

Jen is known nationwide as the Down to Earth Dietitian and I couldn’t agree more. I have been lucky to be a Nutrition Communicator for Midwest Dairy with Jen for the past 4 years and getting to know how her personal life has really influenced her professional life as a registered dietitian. She has come full circle with her passion of gardening, nutrition and nourishing the lives of others, especially her family and moms. As long as I have know Jen, I had no idea how deeply rooted gardening was in her life. It is wonderful how she is sharing her love for growth from the ground with growth at home around the dinner table. She has been a clinical dietitian at Mayo, a retail dietitian, and a media expert. She is now in her current role, impacting the lives of children's health with school food service, becoming a newly published author with the writing of her first book The Mom’s Guide to a Nourishing Garden and a list of other exciting adventures. I am excited to share her story, thus far.

Conversation 10: The Story, Journey and Passion of Registered Dietitian, Beth Sloan RD, LDN

“To convince dietitians to be preceptors is one thing and I think we that we need to really come together as a profession and really look at what is important and how are we educating our future dietitians and is this model working? And if this model is not working, how can we change that? ” - Beth Sloan, RD, LDN

My conversation today is with Beth Sloan, MS, RD, LDN

Beth Sloan is a registered dietitian I was thrilled to meet upon my journey to New Orleans. She is a native to New Orleans. We had a great conversation about her journey so far. She has worked in clinical, outpatient diabetes and cardiac rehab, public health and currently is a professor at Nicholls College in Thibodaux, LA, where she is the Director of Dietetics and is an Assistant Professor of Dietetics specializing in teaching, evaluating, and advising

undergraduate dietetics students. Not only is she a professor, but currently is the President of the Louisiana Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. She is a registered dietitian who truly gives back to the success of our profession. After our great conversation, we went out on a little adventure and she introduced me to her favorite places in downtown New Orleans. We shared pralines (and I learned how to pronounce it properly) at Laura’s Candies and had a Pimm’s Cup at the Napoleon House. That evening, I dined at Galatoire's, her favorite spot to eat dinner. It was an absolute joy to get to know Beth, learn more about her registered dietitian journey and about her hometown.

My conversation today is with Dorria S. Amer, MPH, RD, LDN

As I have set out on a quest to meet registered dietitians, I decided I would make it a priority whenever I go to a new city, I would meet up with registered dietitians from this location. I headed to New Orleans in October of this year and had the great opportunity to meet Dorria Samer. Dorria graciously opened up her beautiful shotgun home up to me and we had a great conversation on her comfy couch. Dorria has had a fascinating career so far as a registered dietitian with family roots and first job out of college in California, an internship and next career moves taking place in Boston, and certain events happening in her personal life leading her to her current life and career in New Orleans. Find out how her own catering business, Hurricane Katrina and Au Bon Pain had a big part in her registered dietitian journey. Dorria lives by the mantra of “not dreading Monday” and has worked in or created jobs to fit this positive life goal. I hope you are inspired by her as much as I am.

Conversation 8: The Story, Journey and Passion of Food Scientist, Susan Bingaman

“There was never a connection but the lightbulb went off. I remember it like it was yesterday. I had those big college books where you are trying to figure out your life, looking at all the majors in the majors in the colleges. I was in the Food/Dietetics section and Food Science was in there. I thought it sounded ridiculous and my mom goes, that’s you. Wanting to help people cook is what I want to do. Dietitians know how the food acts in the body. I know how food acts in the food ” - Susan Bingaman

My conversation today is with Susan Bingaman, Food Scientist

From time to time, I want to have conversations with guests who are not registered dietitians, but have a deep connection to food, nutrition and wellness. Susan Bingaman is one of those fascinating guests whose lifelong passion has been the science of food. As a little girl, Susan always found herself in the kitchen with her family cooking and this passion lives on in her today. My conversation is all about being a food scientist, working in a test kitchen and the importance of recipe development. It is a great listen for anyone who has an interest in the dedication to creating recipes with love and that taste great.

And in the spirit of one Susan’s favorite quotes from Ina Garten: “If someone can do something better, let them.” please enjoy my conversation with Susan.

Conversation 7: The Story, Journey and Passion of Registered Dietitian, Erin Thole, RD, CSSD, LD

“Having my initial background as my own personal employer, for a lack of better words, I had to do business and when I went to my previous job, it was very business focused instead of nutrition focused. So I went and got my MBA, in part because I always think of what is the next step. I want to dictate where I am going to be in the future. Yes, I can always learn something, but I am always the type who is grabbing for more. ” -Erin Thole, RD, CSSD, LD

My conversation today is with Erin Thole, RD, CSSD, LD

Erin and I have known each other professional through the Iowa Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics by volunteering together in Marketing. This is when I learned Erin has a passion for nutrition and dietetics, but also for sports, running and business. What is fascinating about hearing Erin’s story is she struggled to find a job outside of her internship and decided to start her own business. She is one of a few certified sports dietitians in Iowa, she still has her own business but is also working in a different area of the health and wellness landscape.

I hope you enjoy Erin’s story.

Conversation 6: The Story, Journey and Passion of Registered Dietitian, Jodi Schweiger RD, CDE, LD

“Coming out of that (dietetic) program, I knew I wanted to do something non-traditional in being a dietitian. Back in that time, it was-oh dietitians just do hospitals, there wasn’t so many options out there. But I was lucky to have found an option (in retail) for a non-traditional dietitian role...Isn’t that the point of our career? Anything is possible.” -Jodi Schweiger, RD, CDE, LD

My conversation today is with Jodi Schweiger, RD, CDE, LD

Jodi, my guest today, is a registered dietitian, Certified Diabetes Educator a wife and mom and one of my mentors.

The Story, Journey and Passion of Registered Dietitian, Sherry Adams RD, LMNT

“I wanted to do something more medical and I had a half crazy notion of going to med school at one point, but that didn’t last very long. I really loved working in ICU, have been a Certified Nutrition Support Clinician®(CNSC®) and have taken the test 4 times. Recently, I decided to make the jump (out of clinical) and work with physicians out of the hospital and caring for people in the home setting on enteral and parenteral support.” - Sherry Adams, RD, LMNT

My conversation today is with Sherry Adams, RD, LMNT

Sherry Adams is not only a registered dietitian and but a nutrition support expert.

The Story, Journey and Passion of Jena Hunt, RD, LD , Diabetes Education Coordinator for Central Iowa Healthcare

Jena and I really connected while she was my intern. I was looking forward to catching up with her on where she is in her life and her career. When she completed her internship, Jena wasn’t really sure where dietetics would take her, but she knew family was the most important to her and her job would follow. She knew during her internship she enjoyed working in community nutrition. She started out her career as a registered dietitian for the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) in Marshalltown, Iowa and realized her passion was working with expecting and lactating mothers. As she was evaluating her life/work balance, she was found her second job as a Diabetes Education Coordinator a better fit.
