Registered Dietitian Day 2010!
Happy Registered Dietitian Day to all the RD's out there helping educate and spread the nutrition love!
10 Fun Facts About YOUR Registered Dietitian...
1) I originally attended Pepperdine University to become a Doctor of Sports Medicine! Ended up changing my major to Nutritional Science as a sophomore after taking my first Sports Nutrition class.
2) I paid my way through that expensive university by working 2 on-campus jobs and writing and proposing undergraduate research which was eventually published as an abstract on Genetically Modified Food in Infant and Toddler Nutrition
3) I applied to 6 internships: Vanderbilt, Yale, Brigham and Womens (Harvard/Boston), Baylor, University of Houston and Bastyr. (Vanderbilt was my first choice :)
4) I passed the RD Exam in October of 2007 on my first try.
5) My first job was Lead Dietitian of an intensive outpatient eating disorder center.
6) I opened Crave Health in January of 2009, Happy One Year!
7) I have a strong liking for mint and chocolate put together. Mint Oreos, Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies, Chocolate Peppermint Stick Luna Bars, Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream...
8) The name "Crave Health" was created one night after having sat with a patient for the 20th time that day talking about her cravings...I became so frustrated that I blurted out to myself "Why is it always chocolate or bread or salt, why doesnt anyone crave their health!?" And a private practice was born.
9) I have appeared on The Food Network in a one hour special "Challenge" called The George Foreman College Grill Off where my team of 4 from Pepperdine tied for 1st place against the restaurant school from Mizzou. We made Baklava on the Foreman Grill. Impressive huh?
10) Just so you know that dietitians struggle too, yes the food part is easy for me, but I struggle to drag myself to the gym to workout. I hate running and sometimes I dont even know what the machines are for! Accountability for me lies in friends and family wanting to go workout together. Any takers?

It's NATIONAL NUTRITION MONTH!
National Nutrition Month
The theme for March 2010 is "Nutrition From the Ground Up."
The theme for March 2010 is "Nutrition From the Ground Up."
National Nutrition Month® is a nutrition education and information campaign created annually in March by the American Dietetic Association. The campaign focuses attention on the importance of making informed food choices and developing sound eating and physical activity habits. Registered Dietitian Day, also celebrated in March, increases awareness of registered dietitians as the indispensable providers of food and nutrition services and recognizes RDs for their commitment to helping people enjoy healthy lives.
Registered Dietitian Day is Wednesday March 10th 2010 this year (I enjoy Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies, Tulips and Peppermint Stick Luna Bars…) – just kidding!
This month Crave Health will be posting weekly blogs to bring attention to nutrition related topics and issues that need to be on the forefront in order to create change and educate the public in a positive and motivating way.
