Episode 11: Whitney Stuart, founder of Whitness Nutrition, on what it’s actually like to work with a registered dietitian-nutritionist, her thoughts on trendy diets & more
“Be sure that you eat routinely, that you honor hunger, don't skip meals and eat real nutrient foods…Whatever you restrict, you will crave more.”
-Whitney Stuart, registered dietitian-nutritionist
Episode 11 is a virtual interview with Whitney Stuart, a Dallas-based dietitian-nutritionist and certified diabetic educator. She’s very involved in the fitness scene and we happened to go to SMU together, so she was a natural choice to chat with about all things nutrition. Whitney covers several topics, but we hone in on what it’s actually like to sit down with a dietitian-nutritionist, what people come to her for and how she works with them as well as typical goals and outcomes. We also touch on coronavirus (because how can you not right now?) and what you can do to support your immune system now and forevermore. She also talks about how to keep that sweet tooth at bay and what she really thinks about trendy diets like keto and intermittent fasting.
