Building up data for dietitians: Episode 120

“You can’t talk about what’s on the plate if you don’t know how it got there.”

As the founder of Build Up Dietitians, Leah McGrath has created a space in which dietitians at all stages in their careers (including students), can learn more about just that - and provides avenues for evidence-based practitioners to gain a better understanding of agriculture practices.

But when searching for that evidence, how do we discern quality sources from those that are less-than?  McGrath offers multiple resources for dietitians so that YOU can empower the consumer to make choices based on fact - not fiction.

In addition to a robust conversation on the importance of cultivating an evidence-based career, McGrath shares her examples of persistent mis and disinformation in the nutrition space and diet trends that remain strong throughout the years.
