Recorded Symposium Session: Humanizing Nutrition: Unveiling the Digital Curtain

Advancing in the field and business of nutrition has meant embracing technology and incorporating more online-savvy ways to communicate. While technology has expanded the options for how we work and whom we serve, it’s also caused RDs to spend hours behind a computer and not directly engaging with people.

At the end of the day, while we work in nutrition, we are in the business of people. Mandy Enright, MS, RDN, RYT, and Yvette Perrier Quantz, RDN, CSSD, LDN empower RDs to get back to humanizing the field of nutrition. They will emphasize developing connections that create our circle of success: RDs to RDs, RDs to consumers, and RDs to other industries. The duo will explore the importance of human interaction for dietitians, how to connect and captivate, and strategies for relationship building. The role of technology to enhance relationships will be explored, in addition to how to pivot when direct human connection is not possible. Participants will be encouraged to step away from behind the digital curtain and connect on a more personal level with the people they serve.
