We do have a science background and we are the authority when it comes to food safety and nutrition. I think it’s really important for RD’s to become well-rounded and learn about the needs of our communities. ” Alice Figueroa, MPH, RD Tune into this informational and inspirational conversation with my #fridayfavorite @aliceinfoodieland, link in profile 🔺🍒 ·..·°¯°·._.español °°°·.°·..· Esta semana tuve la oportunidad de compartir mi inspiración para trabajar en investigación de salud y política alimentaria. 🎧 Escucha mi conversación con @anneelizabethrd en su podcast. enlace en el perfil 🔺🍒 Yo descubrí mi inspiraron para trabajar en el campo de la salud pública después de ver la pobreza infantil en América Latina.

WHAT ARE THOSE?⠀ ⠀ Apples come in green, red, and rose⠀ Their sweet taste worthy of prose ⠀ I don’t know where to begin...⠀ But apples with yellow skin,⠀ I must ask you all, WHAT ARE THOSE?⠀ ⠀ —⠀ ⠀ I recorded a podcast with @anneelizabethrd last week (which was so much fun) and she shared with me that she really enjoyed my poetry. So now I’m inspired to bring it back a bit. ⠀ ⠀ I love Gala apples best. I like most apples in general, except for yellow apples, they’re not my preference. They’re too soft and I love my apples crunchy. ⠀ ⠀ Apples are a great way to add fruit into your day. They’re small, last forever in the fridge, require zero prep (if you’re down for biting into one whole), and come in a variety of flavors. They’re also a good source of fiber and taste so fresh. ⠀ ⠀ What’s your favorite kind of apple? ⠀ ⠀ Warmly,⠀ Dua RDN⠀ ⠀ PS. That “yellow apple” in the top right corner is actually a pear 🍐😅. Did you catch that?⠀ ⠀ PPS. Thanks for voting on the apple photos and all your feedback. It’s super helpful.

🤗Thanks to the brilliant and lovely @anneelizabethrd for having me as guest on her podcast. 🎤We had a blast discussing food, nutrition, and policy! Food policy is incredibly important. It affects our economy, dietary guidelines, research, and most importantly our health. 😀🍒Tune in y’all.. can’t wait to hear what you think! 🥑🥬🥒👩🏻🔬 🤷🏽♀️What are your thoughts on food and health policy? This is the time to make our voices heard! 🙌🏽 I welcome all policy views💕we can only achieve progress by working together and respecting each other👩🏽🍳👨🏼🌾👩🏽🎓👩💻👩🏻⚕️ 🔺link in profile “Today’s conversation is with Alice Figueroa @aliceinfoodieland, a registered dietitian who created her own path into dietetics by combining her passion for public health, policy and nutrition. Alice and I were connected through my previous podcast guest, Nicole Rodriguez @nrodriguezrdn because they did their internship together and I am so glad she did. Alice is one of those dietitians we all should get to know because of her deeply rooted passion for health advocacy both here in the United States and globally. She is from Guatemala and trips with her family early in her life, opened her eyes to many faults in basic human rights like food and clean water. Alice shares many of her experiences so far, insights on how policy affects all dietitians and the current project she is working on going back to her family's roots. This is a conversation you must make time for. Please enjoy my conversation with Alice, link in profile🔝 and available on @applepodcasts, @spotify, @iheartradio and @stitcherpodcasts. 🍒🎧” #dietitianpodcast #newepisode #dietitiancareers #dietitianmentor #dietitiancareergrowth #dietitians #dieteticstudent #dieteticintern #rd2be #rdchat #begreatalways #nutritionexpert #registeredietitian #dietitiansofinstagram #dietitianapproved #careergoals #futuredietitian #embracethehellyeah #joy #dailyinspirations #anneelizabethrd #startaconversationthattrulymatters (at New Orleans, Louisiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9RR47lF2XN/?igshid=97dm93avwqqt

Day 10 of #NationalNutritionMonth is here! And I’m curious - QUESTION ➡️❓Have you learned anything cool about nutrition in these past ten days? If so, where did you come across it and what was it (I want to learn too!)❓Let me know! ⤵️ ▫️ I’ve personally learned a lot (some not directly nutrition related). 🤭 1️⃣ The insta Dietitian community is this cool online family. Thanks for all of the help, advice and conversation @libbyrothschild @sam_the_dietitian @victoriaeatonrd @kimrosedietitian @encouragingdietitian @mrrdietitian @andytherd @adietitiansmission @eatingwithadietitian @anneelizabethrd and so many more I may have forgotten 💯 2️⃣ It really does take about a year for a business to get rolling. I started April 2017 and I am just seeing the growth and reach that I want. (alhamdulilah) 😊 3️⃣ I jumped on the probiotic bandwagon and yes my bowels are moving regularly and I am feeling better. Whole foods first though, so I’m drinking kefir rather than supplementing. 💊 4️⃣ I’ve rediscovered that pears are one of my very favorite fruits! 🍐 ▫️ Ok your turn! What’s new for you this months when it comes to nutrition? Let me know! ⤵️ • • • PS. Sorry, I’ve paused the foodprep protips for just a few of weeks, they shall return next month❗️ • • • #aboutme #pears #dietitiansofig #dietitianlife #nutritionblog #dietitiantobe #nutritionexpert #nutritioneducation #nutritiongoals #nutritioncoaching #virtualcoach #duathedietitian #foodieladies #foodiepost #acceptingclients #arabamerican #muslimamerican #healthislife #plantlovefebruary #recipeblogger #recipeblog #onlinecoaching💪 #nutritionblogger #foodlovesme #prettyfoods #professionalwoman #nutritioncoaches #foodbeauty #dietitians
