  1. Thank you so much, this was very informative!! I feel like my personality is very similar to yours lol. I've worked in public health for almost 5 years and wanting to do something more meaningful where I can help people on a more personal level but also I don't want to be a doctor or nurse, so this sounded like a great option. Thanks again!

  2. Do you have nutritionists who work under you, that are not dietitians? I ask bc I’m getting my bachelors in nutrition. The Ochem/science classes were so difficult I really don’t want to get a masters 💀😩

  3. You seem like such a sweet soul 💛 you’re obviously doing this because you’re passionate and care about others. Thank you for this vid! Keep up the good work, from another fellow introvert 😄

  4. Thank you for this video! I’ve wanted a job that isn’t lab work that combines the nutrition and clinical side of things, and I’ve decided to go in debt doing a masters. As a sensitive introvert/socially selective person, I’m worried abt the whole talking to people thing, but I’ve noticed that everyone is tired, we have a lot of shit on our backs, and it’s rough to be told that the most basic thing that you need as a human – eat – is something you’re doing wrong. I think you’re doing good xx

  5. Thank you so much for sharing! I found your insight very helpful as I research the possibility of becoming a dietician. I’ve been juggling with the idea of if I could maintain it this while starting a family so thank you for speaking on that possibility 🥰

  6. Great video. I lasted 5 years as an RD in the UK. Inpatients. The lack of respect from other health care professionals and patients, coupled with the emotional fatigue and overall monotony of the day to day work, made me leave the profession. Lastly, working as the only male in a department of 20+ females became an issue over time… the cattiness and bitching from my colleagues was unbearable 😅

  7. I can’t believe how bad they treat dietitians I was considering this career, I’m watching your video and I feel so sad. Every healthcare worker is important for the system you matter !! People are so unaware of how important nutrition/dietetic is.

  8. My main concern when it comes to the coursework is how many classes involving dissection would I need to take. The organs combined with the smell of formaldehyde is too much for me and I end up losing my appetite. Were a lot of dissections required in the classes you took to become a dietitian?

  9. Thank you so much for your insight. I'm very grateful how you broke your working day down into parts and busted some myths about dietitians only being advisors, while in fact you check the lab work too and work with charts. I'm considering a Food Science and Nutrition major which will allow me to pursue Dietetics after a Master's degree, so I was wondering what's it really like working as a dietitian. 😊 I appreciate you not being vague and giving a clear list of responsibilities a dietitian has.
