Today's Topic - Cutting Through The Noise with A Dietitian Guide to Genuine Nutrition Wisdom!

Welcome Patricia and thank you for being here today to talk about 'Cutting Through The Noise With A Dietitian Guide to Genuine Nutrition Wisdom'.

She responded by asking you my listeners a question then answered as follows:

'Are you feeling bogged down by all the conflicting nutrition information online and tired of going down the rabbit hole of google searching? I am a registered dietitian nutritionist and nutrition expert who loves food as much as you do and knows how challenging it can be to navigate nutrition information in the online space. As a dietitian, I love to support her clients by exploring where they can add nutrition, as opposed to what foods they should be restricting or what fad diet to follow.'

Essential Thought-Provoking Questions I Asked!

With such outstanding credentials my first question to Patricia was:

• What exactly is a registered dietitian and, what makes a registered dietitian different from other healthcare professionals?

Her response:

• There are still a lot of people who are unsure of what a registered dietitian is!
  
  A dietitian is legally to give medical nutrition therapy based on a current disease state. The best way to identify a dietitian is if they have the credentials RD or RDN. Dietitians are required to go through 1200 hours of supervised practice before taking their entrance exam and obtaining their certification. These hours are completed in hospitals, schools, clinics, private practice and more.
  
  Dietitians prescribe diet plans not only on your personal nutritional needs but whole factoring in your lifestyle, exercise levels, work schedule, food preferences and more. As dietitians, we want to support you in developing a personalized plan to best meet your goals and sustain them in the long run.

Culturally Reflective Questions And More!

Within this beautiful country of ours we are a diverse group of people with different cultural differences, so how…

• How do cultural differences in diet and lifestyle influence your approach to nutrition counseling?

• What is a common piece of nutritional advice that you would advise people to question or think critically about?
• How did your experiences abroad change your perspective on nutrition, and can you share an example of a practice you’ve adopted from another culture?
• What is one surprising thing about your approach to nutrition that tends to catch your clients off guard?
• Given what we now know about nutrition myths, what are some of the things you would want the audience to take away from this episode?
