Conversation 43: The Story, Journey and Passion of Heather Osby

“If I am in it, then I am all in it. I was working out 4 days a week, doing CrossFit, some yoga and barre and I just wanted to be healthier and do more. If a little is good then a lot must be better right? So I was exposing myself to a lot of semi-questionable nutrition sources and it got to the point where I was almost unhealthy with it. For example, (I believed) healthy was being a raw vegan. My thought process was nothing else was okay and I was really mentally unhealthy about that. That is what I thought you needed to be to be healthy.“ - Healthy Osby

My conversation today is with fitness expert, CrossFit Level 1 Coach, Precision Nutrition Level 1 Coach and Postnatal Fitness Specialist, Heather Osby.

I have had the joy of knowing Heather when I moved to the beautiful city of Des Moines, Iowa, I was connect with her to be my house-hunting warrior. After looking at over 100 homes and then deciding to build, I think that's when she decided she didn’t want to be a real estate agent anymore. No, not really, but life took its tricks and turns and she currently has found her passion in the wellness and fitness world. She is currently a wife and a mom of two, kicking ass in her own garage gym, at her local CrossFit gym and focuses on helping moms all over the country find their own fitness passion, in a safe way. She specializes in pregnancy and postnatal fitness (insert diastasis recti) and even has her own pelvis model she named Nancy to best educate her clients. What I love about her the most is her down-to-earth approach on exercise and nutrition, her virtual business and website and the fact she likes to cuss a little.

A girl after my own heart, please enjoy my conversation with Heather.

Conversation 69: The Story, Journey and Passion of Liz Dunn, MS, RD, LDN

“I really loved science and thought I wanted to go into pharmacy research. It was after my car accident, when I had my spinal cord injury, they said because I was in such good shape that helped me recover from the surgeries a lot better. It was then I thought prevention was a lot better, was what I was interested in and I started looking into dietetics. In my internship program, which was very clinically focused, we had about 1⁄2 a lecture on spinal cord injuries. Most people never learn anything about it, so I definitely want to spread the word. ” - Liz Dunn, MPH, RDN

Today’s conversation is with Liz Dunn, a registered dietitian with a passion for sports nutrition, being active and wheelchair rugby.

This is another episode of where I sing the praises of Instagram and how it brings people together. I started following Liz last year and I remember the first photo of hers I saw. It was of her with holding her paper stating she had passed the RD exam. But what really caught my attention was she said in the caption “I may not be where I hoped to be at this point, but that’s ok.” I remember thinking, neither am I and you know what, it is ok! There is so much more to Liz’s story and I am happy we were able to have such a great conversation.

Please enjoy my conversation with Liz.

Conversation 25: The Story, Journey and Passion of Ashley Pringle, RD-to-Be

“I knew at some point businesses and corporations would require you to become a registered dietitian. I feel like I need to be educated enough (in dietetics) to help people. I don’t think a nutritionist is going to have the education that we get in MNT (Medical Nutrition Therapy). I’m that type of person, if I am going to do something I am going to do it 100% and whole heartedly and do it right.”- Ashley Pringle

My conversation today is with RD-to-Be, Ashley Pringle. I wanted to have a conversation with Ashley, because she went on a trip with a friend to India and decided to go back to school to help people by being a registered dietitian after working in the business world as an HR recruiter. She reveals her perspective on going back to school, the internship application process and where she see’s herself practicing. Not only is she waiting for her internship match, she is getting married in 6 weeks. I am excited to share her journey and her perspective as an RD-to-Be.

I hope you enjoy my conversation with Ashley.

Conversation 21: The Story, Journey and Passion of Lucille Beseler, MS, RDN, LDN, CDE

“As a young dietitian you don’t appreciate all the people you meet along the way. I would say to our young dietitians, stop and savor the moment and appreciate the people that you come in contact with along the way. They may see things in you that you do not see in yourself.” - Lucille Beseler, MS, RDN, LDN, CDE

My conversation today is with Registered Dietitian Lucille Beseler who graciously took time out of her busy schedule to meet with me on a Sunday afternoon. She is a private practice registered dietitian, author and the owner of Family Nutrition Center of South Florida. She has a passion for cooking and painting beautiful flowers. In her spare time, she currently is the President of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and has spent the last year inspiring other registered dietitians for the next century of our amazing profession and and our national organization. During our candid and down to earth conversation, she shares great advice for all dietitians on practicing, advocacy, volunteering, business and just being a great registered dietitian.

I hope you enjoy my conversation with Lucille as much as I did.
