✨Intern Spotlight✨

Julia Love and Tiffany had the opportunity to work with the Mississippi State Health Center and the Office of Student Wellbeing, tabling on campus to promote nutrition counseling services. They connected with students, shared resources, and handed out refreshing mocktails while spreading the word about overall wellness. Such a fun and impactful way to meet students where they are! 🍹🥗

We are so proud of these two!

✨Intern Spotlight ✨

Over the past 3 weeks, Regan and Tiffany had the incredible opportunity to work at the Choctaw Food Distribution Center in Philadelphia, MS, gaining hands-on experience while connecting with an amazing community and culture.

They provided nutrition education to 3rd and 4th graders at Standing Pine Elementary, led a Vitamin D education including bingo and a fun physical activity for the elderly community, and were part of a tailgating event where they helped provide a balanced snack 🥕🍎

We love seeing our interns making an impact across the lifespan and turning nutrition education into meaningful, fun experiences. Great work, Regan and Tiffany! 👏

We also want to thank the amazing preceptors who make this all possible!

✨ 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!
