Dietetics

This page is a project in itself.  I earned my license as a Registered Dietitian last year but decided to put off a career in that field for awhile so I can be a mom.  This is my attempt to stay current and keep my dietetics-related knowledge fresh.  If there is a topic you would like to learn more about, I will add it to the Future Topics list for this page.
