ForwardRecorded Symposium Session 2023: Using Our Nutrition "SciVantage" in Today's Food Conversation
RDs are leading experts in food and nutrition but there are other voices – often non-credentialed – emerging as health authorities commanding consumers' attention. The science and facts communicated by RDs are being drowned out by opinion and emotionally charged misconceptions, both online and in traditional media channels.
Join Jaime Schwartz Cohen as she helps RDs reclaim the position as the premiere authority on food and nutrition. Jaime will address strategies that empower the nutrition community to break through the clutter and use science to our advantage to challenge erroneous information.
Learning Objectives

- Describe approaches that result in productive and meaningful conversations with consumers and health professional colleagues alike, about food and nutrition.
- Employ three resources that help nutrition professionals effectively communicate science and facts and challenge opinions and emotionally charged information.
- Identify two ways nutrition professionals can implement techniques learned from this session right away.
