Dietitian Life

This week, we talk about WHY DIETITIANS SUCK. Dietitians don't just suck, they suck at sucking and something needs to change if our industry is going to move forward.

We're cracking off the new year with a big old rant! First of all, dieting is NOT the devil. Plain and simple. We've seen so many dietitians demonising dieting, abolishing the need to have a goal and suggesting that people are fine the way they are, negating any health or weight issues.

2020 was a chaotic year and there were highs and lows, but we achieved some things that we never thought were possible.⁠ In our latest podcast, we sit down and debrief it all, and talk through our goals for 2021.⁠

This week, we've interviewed Dr Hannah Mayr, Nutrition and Dietetics Lecturer, and Research Fellow. Hannah is highly regarded for her clinical studies in chronic disease prevention and treatment, implementation of the Mediterranean diet and contributions to Project GRIT. We are very excited to share this chat with you and hope that you enjoy it as much as we did.

This week, we give our perspective on the #1 thing that all dietitians need to stop doing right now. This thing is the manner of all evil, it'll ruin your consult every time. It might be in your line of questioning, it might be in your beliefs and perceptions... But this ONE thing is the antithesis of "answers" and is going to shoot you in the foot if you're not careful.

You might remember Gemma from Dietitians Without Borders, but outside of that, she holds the prestigious title of Advanced Sports Dietitian, amongst many other qualifications. In this episode, we talk a bit about Gemma and her experience, and of course, answer your burning clinical questions.

This week, we've got a very special guest; Advanced Sports Dietitian, PhD Sports Scientist, Performance Nutrition Manager at UFC Performance Institute in Shanghai (and not to mention, a 1st degree Black Belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu), Dr Reid Reale! Dr Reale is an absolute legend in the sports dietetics field, and is coming to us live from isolation in China! We talk all things from his journey to the highlights of his experiences working at such a high level in the sporting space.

Back by popular demand, we're dig diving 'Inside Peta's Clinical Mind!' and answering Q&A'S from the audience! We talk about clinical considerations for breastfeeding, dietary strategies for post-infectious IBS-D and Telehealth sessions and much more!⁠

This week, we're talking to Alicia Edge, Advanced Sports Dietitian and Co-Founder/CEO of Compeat Nutrition! Alicia has around 11 years of experience as a dietitian and has a magnitude of stories to share from her years in the field. We talk everything from tips she would have given her younger self, through to managing a business and being a dietitian, whilst also being a mum AND a human being in a massive hour-long special!
