[00:00:01.762]Registered dietitian nutritionists
[00:00:03.502]make a significant impact
[00:00:04.742]on the world around us.
[00:00:06.780]Join us as we discuss the difference
[00:00:08.503]they can make and the advantages
[00:00:10.040]of going into this field.
[00:00:12.130]Dietitians know a lot about health
[00:00:14.450]because they are the food experts.
[00:00:16.860]They help us choose foods
[00:00:18.070]that nourish our bodies.
[00:00:19.870]Dietitians have exciting jobs
[00:00:21.850]and opportunities. For example,
[00:00:23.780]they work in schools and hospitals.
[00:00:26.350]They help their
[00:00:27.110]communities to be healthier,
[00:00:28.865]build gardens,
[00:00:30.430]and make sure that we eat healthy
[00:00:32.276]to support our growing bodies.
[00:00:35.880]So when you need to know
[00:00:37.025]science-based nutrition information
[00:00:38.750]or need to know how a healthy diet
[00:00:40.428]helps fight disease,
[00:00:41.430]dietitians are your experts.
[00:00:43.820]Dietitians can work in hospitals, clinics
[00:00:46.240]and other healthcare facilities.
[00:00:48.310]We work with people of all ages
[00:00:50.300]with various medical conditions.
[00:00:52.171]And I provide
[00:00:52.880]medical nutrition therapy
[00:00:54.531]for trauma patients,
[00:00:55.715]burn victims,
[00:00:56.430]and people undergoing major
[00:00:57.730]surgeries, where nutrition is very
[00:00:59.410]important to support healing.
[00:01:02.067]The dietetics profession is very versatile
[00:01:04.970]Dietitians revamp food menus and
[00:01:07.210]manage food allergies.
[00:01:08.570]For example, as director of food
[00:01:10.230]services in a school setting,
[00:01:12.070]I get to take care of feeding 20,000
[00:01:14.170]students a day and taking care of every
[00:01:16.130]one of their dietary needs.
[00:01:18.500]Dietitians also heal food deserts
[00:01:20.550]by establishing farmers markets,
[00:01:22.900]community gardens and
[00:01:24.190]establishing healthy food retails.
[00:01:26.898]As dietitians, we want the healthy choice
[00:01:28.910]to be the easy choice.
[00:01:30.770]Dietitians work in sports nutrition
[00:01:32.450]and corporate wellness programs.
[00:01:34.020]Most professional sports teams have a
[00:01:35.780]dietitian on their team helping them to
[00:01:37.685]fuel for optimal performance.
[00:01:39.070]I used to work as a chef
[00:01:40.227]for the Los Angeles Dodgers
[00:01:41.515]and together the dietitian and I
[00:01:43.045]would help fuel a team before each game.
[00:01:45.880]Dietitians work in the community
[00:01:47.450]of public health settings,
[00:01:48.698]teaching and advising the public.
[00:01:50.593]They also advocate
[00:01:51.495]for better nutrition policies
[00:01:52.948]representing us in legislative issues.
[00:01:57.295]In colleges and universities,
[00:01:59.215]dietitians conduct research
[00:02:00.506]and teach about the science
[00:02:02.658]of food and nutrition.
[00:02:04.858]For example, I am a college professor
[00:02:07.709]and the best part of my job is that I get
[00:02:10.319]to train students to become dietitians.
[00:02:13.949]Dietitians work in food and nutrition
[00:02:15.751]related businesses and industries as well
[00:02:18.161]as the community. For example, I myself
[00:02:20.051]work in the community with youth and
[00:02:21.881]families teaching them how to make
[00:02:23.901]healthy, affordable meals.
[00:02:25.148]I love the field of nutrition because
[00:02:27.571]there are so many different pathways and
[00:02:29.531]career opportunities that you can take.
[00:02:31.441]And the best part is, you can move around
[00:02:33.451]around and try all different jobs
[00:02:35.051]throughout your career.
[00:02:36.171]And if you love STEM classes or health
[00:02:38.031]classes or just interested in nutrition,
[00:02:40.481]this might be the field for you.
[00:02:42.681]Food is so much more than just a source
[00:02:44.591]source of nourishment.
[00:02:45.903]It's culture.
[00:02:47.956]It ties one to their family and heritage.
[00:02:50.811]It honors traditions
[00:02:52.691]and it provides comfort.
[00:02:55.351]More dietitians from diverse backgrounds
[00:02:57.311]are needed to help people make choices
[00:03:00.381]that are healthy, accessible,
[00:03:02.841]and honors their culture.
[00:03:05.158]Here are the education and
[00:03:06.498]professional requirements to become
[00:03:08.211]a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist.
