On this day, Registered Dietitian's Day, I'm reflecting on my career so far. Timely, as I recorded a video last night for a guest panel in a class at the University of Alberta that talked about my career path as a registered dietitian. A lot has changed for me over almost 8 years. A lot of growth. Plenty of "f*%k this" days mixed in. Countless days where I find myself in awe of what I am so privileged to work on and who I get to work with.

I dug up this image of me with the first office decoration I brought to my office: a fern 🪴. I still have this fern. It's been with me since the start of my career! And it continues to sprout new fern shoots every other week.
It sounds similar to how my career has been—always learning new things, finding ways to continue growing, but also just chilling out and doing my thing.

Maybe I'm a fern. Who knows 🤷
Did I do symbolism good? 😆

Most people who know me know that I love bananas. I always have bananas. Some people like to joke about how much I love bananas. This one is to show the world what a perfect world could look like. Real? You decide.

Haven’t posted in a while, so I thought posting a pic of ’s Beetza was good “haven’t posted in a while” material. Would you ever try beets 🫜 on pizza 🍕?

Did you know dietitians are so awesome that some people actually try to steal the title? 😑😑

Sounds silly, right? But it really happened.

Someone in the U.S. claimed to be a registered dietitian, with zero training, zero registration, nothing. They also pretended to be a nurse and a certified diabetes educator. All of it was fake.

👉 Here’s the problem..
Calling yourself a healthcare professional without earning it puts people’s safety at risk and disrespects every professional who worked hard for their credentials. It’s also a great way to p**s real healthcare workers off!

Our team at Revive Wellness broke this down in our latest YouTube video:

💎 Why the RD title (and others) are so valuable

As Matthew said in the video, if people are trying to steal the title, you know it’s valuable!

What’s been your experience with finding a great coaching “fit”? 🤔
If you or someone you know is managing , finding the right nutrition and lifestyle coach can feel a lot like shopping for shoes 👞 👠 👟 🥾

Imagine walking into a store and trying on a pair that doesn’t fit…it’s too tight, the wrong size, or just not your style. What do you do? You don’t force yourself to wear them and deal with the blisters, right? You put them back and keep looking until you find the perfect fit.

is no different. The relationship between client and coach is deeply personal, especially when you’re tackling something as nuanced as ADHD and nutrition. What works for one person might not work for someone else. A cookie-cutter approach simply won’t do.

The right coach will fit your needs, understand your challenges, and guide you with strategies tailored to your unique brain and body. They’ll help you create sustainable habits, manage overwhelm, and navigate nutrition without judgment or rigid rules.

If a coach’s style doesn’t feel right for you, that’s okay. Just like with shoes, the “wrong fit” doesn’t mean something’s wrong with you, or them. It just means the search continues for a better match.

Finding the right coach isn’t about forcing yourself into something uncomfortable. It’s about finding someone who supports you in walking your own path comfortably, confidently, and in alignment with your goals!

If you’re navigating ADHD and want a personalized approach to and changes, don’t settle for anything less than a perfect fit. It’s out there. Keep trying!
