Welcome to episode 3 of Why Dietetics! This week I chatted with another classmate, Maddie Alfiero, about her path to becoming an RD, the challenges she has faced along the way, and how all of that comes together as she makes her way toward being a dietitian! We talk about mindfulness, Maddie’s experience with disordered eating, body image, and more. Trigger warning: we talk very candidly about eating disorders, dieting, and weight loss in this episode. If any of those topics are tumultuous for you, you may want to consider skipping this episode.

Welcome to another episode of "Why Dietetics?"! This week I had the privilege of interviewing my classmate Val, and we had a great conversation about Health at Every Size, influencer marketing in Dietetics, quarantine and focaccia, and moving to another country for school! I hope you enjoy.  Follow Val~ IG: @nutritionvalance Follow Riley~ IG: @rileytherd2be
