The pleasure was literally ALL mine: Dietitian podcasts to check out
First off, I love a good podcast. Don’t you?
There is something so satisfying about collecting little ‘gems’ and golden nuggets of knowledge in seemingly unknown places. Plus, (like a typical dietitian!) I am a world-class note-taker.
Don’t believe me?
Check out the ‘notes’ section on my iPhone or the hundreds of spiral-bound (color-coded) notebooks in my office.
Do you know what I love even more than just a good old personal growth podcast? A podcast hosted by a fellow dietitian colleague.
Want to know what I love even more than THAT? Being a guest on a fellow dietitian colleague’s podcast.
To me, dietitian podcasts are the BOMB dot com.
Over the years I have had so much stinking fun on so many different dietitian podcasts. And my brilliant husband (none other than THE Marc Plano) had a great idea of compiling a list of all the recent episodes. He sent them to me in an email last night with the title ‘Amy’s Podcast Episodes.’ So I thought I would follow his excellent lead and drop the episodes below. Note all but one of the podcasts is hosted by a dietitian. So hopefully this introduces you to some new RDs to follow and learn from.
On these dietitian podcasts, you will easily see (and hear!) I am super passionate about helpings dietitians create, maintain, and grow their insurance-based practices. Working with RDs in my coaching programs lights me up like nothing else. Whether you be a newbie RD (Welcome!), someone who is just refining their skillset and scaling, or a veteran I have a program designed specifically to meet your needs.
But before you sign up to work with me you may want to feel me out. And I ain’t mad at you. My programs are an investment. And one I want you to feel incredibly comfortable making. Therefore. check out these podcasts below. First and foremost will see, the real Amy P. comes out … full force.
I hope you enjoy these dietitian podcasts as much as I enjoyed being part of them.
