I run my own business and currently see a 50/50 split of clients between athletes (mostly strength athletes e.g. powerlifters) and “general clients” who are typically either looking to lose weight or address IBS symptoms.

In addition to this, I spend a large portion of my time trying to put out content on social media and on my website.

The industry is as wide open as it has ever bene. A dietitian can do so much now from nutrigenomics to social media and marketing consulting. For my area of management, I see a lot of the new generation of dietitians wanting to grow beyond the nutrition department. I think you will see more RDs in senior management and executive positions with multi-department responsibilities and executive positions other than food and nutrition.

The biggest misinformation about RDs is that we are only cooks. We may know how to cook, but we are not chefs. RDs are your best resource for anything food and nutrition.

In an ideal world, the profession of dietetics would increase in diversity substantially, particularly on the basis of gender, race and ethnicity. We would have dietetics professionals available to serve and relate to all American residents, and to lead nutrition-focused businesses that meet the needs of consumers. The healthcare industry would acknowledge the value that dietitians play in healthcare in every state; dietitians would be eligible for reimbursement for a robust list of disease prevention and management services and dietitians would be able to write diet and nutrition-related orders in all clinical facilities.

In my job, I teach our introductory human nutrition course to students as a general course, nursing pre-req, or science requirement. As part of my job I work on scholarly work (books and podcasts), speaking at conferences, and mentoring students through clubs and other college activities. My job gives me a lot of freedom to work on projects that I find helpful to our profession and the public.

I put in full time hours at the hospital, and weekly, I squeeze in blogging for myself, writing for others, paid blogging, consulting, private practice, and social media, doing presentations or working on webinars. Not full steam but I always have things to do but still prioritize to have a social life, relax, travel, exercise and most important to me, regular sleep!
