✨ Hands-on learning at its finest! ✨

Our dietetic interns (Regan Lee, Julia Love Lyon, Kyleigh Olson) had the incredible opportunity to step inside the surgical room and observe a PEG tube placement up close at Baptist Memorial Hospital in Columbus, MS 🏥👀

From understanding the procedure to seeing how nutrition plays a critical role in patient care, this was an unforgettable experience that took classroom knowledge straight to the OR!

So proud of our interns for jumping into every learning moment! 💪🥼📚 Thank you to all the staff and preceptors who gave our interns this amazing opportunity!

A day dedicated to raising awareness, supporting those living with diabetes, and promoting steps we can all take toward better health.

As dietetic interns, we strive to educate our community on the role nutrition plays in preventing and managing diabetes. Small, sustainable changes can make a big impact like choosing whole grains, staying active, and building balanced meals.

Did you know?
Over 38 million Americans are living with diabetes.

Quinoa for the win! 🥣

Our dietetic interns, Jadyn and Hannah, hosted a fun tabling all about quinoa and even served up a delicious chicken quinoa soup for students to sample at their ARAMARK rotation. It was such a hit, it might even make its way to the Beet Drop station menu at the Perry Cafeteria ! 👏

✨Meme Friday! ✨

Ever wonder what dietitians actually do? 👀

From helping patients meet their nutrition goals to calculating formulas and providing individualized care, it’s definitely more than telling people to “eat their veggies!”

💬 Comment below which one you thought dietitians did before starting your internship!

✨MEME Friday!!!✨

🚫🥤 Diet culture says… cut out whole food groups, survive on juices, and follow “rules” that make you miserable.

👩‍⚕️ Science says… you don’t need harsh diets to reach your goals. Balanced eating, consistency, and habits that fit your life actually work…and they last!

💡 You can improve your health, energy, and confidence without restriction or guilt. Food is fuel, not punishment! 🥦🍞🍓

✨ Friendly reminder: real results come from sustainable habits, not fad diets!

Our dietetic interns had an amazing time at FNCE in Nashville this past weekend!

From attending inspiring lecture sessions to connecting with companies, exploring job opportunities, and sampling tons of new products, it was an experience to remember! We are so happy for amazing opportunities like this to prepare our interns for GREATNESS!!✨🍎🍊

🥑 MEME Friday!🥑

Did you know avocados are packed with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats that can help lower “bad” cholesterol and keep you feeling full longer? 🙌 They’re also loaded with fiber, potassium, and vitamin E!

✨ Easy ways to add more avocado into your day:
1. Smash on whole-grain toast with a sprinkle of chili flakes
2. Blend into smoothies for creaminess without dairy
3. Dice into tacos, burrito bowls, or salads
4. Mix into tuna or chicken salad instead of mayo

What’s your favorite way to enjoy avocados? 👇

✨Intern Spotlight✨

Our interns, Faith, Bree, and Jadyn, had a great time representing WIC and the Mississippi Department of Health at a local health fair! 💚 They got to share what WIC is all about and help visitors explore resources on kids’ dental hygiene, prostate and breast cancer awareness, and ways to stay active. 🦷🎗️🏃‍♀️

It was an awesome hands-on experience in community nutrition and public health outreach! 👏

Happy National Cookbook Month! 👩‍🍳

👉 Did you know…

• Many RDs help write cookbooks today to show how easy healthy eating can be!
• Cookbooks were one of the earliest ways families learned about portion sizes and balanced meals before food labels even existed.

Even today, they’re a fun (and practical) way to turn nutrition knowledge into tasty meals that anyone can enjoy! 🥗🌯

We want to know, what’s your favorite cookbook you (or your family) used before the internet made recipes just a click away? Share in the comments! ⬇️

✨Intern Spotlight✨

Our interns Grace and Tiffany had an awesome experience working with Mississippi State Sports Nutrition alongside the RDs who fuel and support all of MSU’s athletes! 🐾💪 They even hosted a pop-up all about Vitamin C and got to share why it’s so important and where to find it in everyday foods 🍊

To top it off, they got to work sideline at the Arizona State University football game, helping meet game day nutrition needs for our Dawgs! 🏈🐶

We’re so proud of our interns and so thankful for the incredible preceptors who continue to pour into them!

✨ Busy & exciting day for our interns! ✨

Today, alongside our friends from Ole Miss, we had the opportunity to tour the Mississippi Food Network in Jackson, MS. Our interns got a behind-the-scenes look at the facility and even rolled up their sleeves to help with Backpack Meal Kit Packing Program tha is designed to help ensure children have food when other resources may not be available, such as on weekends or during school breaks. Each backpack is filled with nutritious foods and snacks and then discreetly given to students on the last day before a weekend or holiday🎒🍎

The day didn’t stop there! They also heard from The Dairy Alliance, learning fun and insightful facts about dairy in Mississippi and across the U.S. 🥛🧀

To wrap things up, they enjoyed an inspiring talk from Rebecca Turner, MS, RDN, LD, DipACLM—author, radio host, TV presenter, and board-certified lifestyle medicine dietitian.

We’re so grateful for opportunities like these that connect our interns with hands-on experiences, community impact, and amazing professionals in the field of nutrition!

👩‍⚕️🍎 RD vs. Nutritionist — What’s the Difference?

Not all nutrition titles are the same! A Registered Dietitian (RD/RDN) has:
✅ A bachelor’s (and often master’s) degree in nutrition/dietetics
✅ 1,000+ hours of supervised practice
✅ Passed a national board exam
✅ Keeps up with continuing education to stay current

A nutritionist is a more general term — in many states, anyone can call themselves one, even without formal training.

So when you see “RD” after a name, you know you’re getting advice from a licensed food + nutrition expert! 🥦✨
