Show Notes
In this episode, I talk to Registered Dietician and co-founder of Culina Health, Vanessa Rissetto. Vanessa shares how an insatiable curiosity about nutrition inspired her to switch from a career in marketing to getting her degree in nutrition, why RDs historically haven’t gotten the recognition they deserve, and how she operates as a no-bullshit leader in health and nutrition. We talk about the inflammatory nature of diet culture, why Vanessa is sometimes a provocative voice in the industry, and how she’s determined to elevate representation in the RD world and provide accessible nutrition resources for all.
Key Takeaway / Points:
- Thoughts on “What I eat in a day” videos
- Postpartum weight and body confusion
- Navigating anti diet culture as an RD
- The difference between RDs and nutritionists
- Being a POC dietician leader in a predominantly white space
