Chelsea and Sophie go into the difference between a Registered Dietitian (RD) and nutritionist. The main difference between an RD and nutritionist is that there’s no standard/guideline for the definition of a nutritionist, while an RD has to go on to graduate school and or a dietetic internship along with passing an exam and in some states getting a license. There are so many different types of dietitians and you do not always need a reason to see one! Moral of the story - be mindful who you listen to and get information from. Listen for more!

Chelsea and Sophie discuss the topic of people not always being truthful… Being honest with your healthcare providers and beyond (hair stylists) only helps you. We cannot help you fully if you’re not fully telling the truth on your end. Being fully transparent is important and helpful - we do not judge you, we are human and we have heard it all! Food for thought→ Try to remember the more you tell - the more help you’re going to be able to get. Think about the past and an instance you maybe weren’t fully honest and why weren’t you?

Chelsea and Sophie discuss the history and differences between BMI and Body Fat.

But actually this is your reminder that the BMI your doctor may tell you isn’t the law of your body. Figuring out your body composition is more informative of your body.

If they do - is that lifestyle change in or out of your control?

Chelsea and Sophie discuss the deeper meaning of one’s why. They dive into your why not being your goal but the why behind your goal… When you know your why things play out a little differently!Food for Thought→ Do you know your why?
