Hot Topics in Nutrition: 20 Questions from Friends

Nutrition 101

To kick off my Instagram account @dietitian4women last year, I answered 20 questions. These came from my own friends - a group of women who are smart, motivated, and pretty health-literate.

When you zoom out and look at these questions as a group, they reflect a few of the big themes we currently struggle with in nutrition:

- I'm a busy person in an expensive world, so what do I prioritize?

- What diet/food trends (the ones you see over and over again on Instagram) actually have some merit?

- How do I navigate the explosion of new food & supplement products available to me? (nut milks, sport supplements, vegan burgers, etc.)

Quick and easy answers don't exist, which is why it can be helpful to work with a dietitian as your guide. Above all, keeping it simple - sticking to whole foods and avoiding anything that seems like a quick fix - is also a safe bet. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!

To read the answers to these 20 Q's, head over to IG and scroll to my earliest posts at @dietitian4women

If you ever have a question you'd like me to answer through an Instagram post, send it my way here!
