Recorded Symposium Session: TikTok Made Me Eat It: How RDNs Can Empower Consumers to Eat Better by Creating Short Videos

To remain relevant, dietitians in every sphere of practice can benefit from using all methods of story-telling media to communicate food and nutrition topics to patients and consumers. Short videos on TikTok and Instagram are igniting new food, diet, and eating trends. In fact, Tiktok had more traffic than Google in 2021 and is showing no signs of slowing down!

In this session, join Rosanne Rust and Liz Weiss as they explore the impact that TikTok and Instagram reels are having in the food and nutrition space, and encourage all dietitians, even the faint-hearted, to begin creating content. The dietitian duo will show attendees how to create a niche, compose short videos, employ best practices for growing an engaged following, and start posting more regularly on these social platforms.
