Ep 26 - Jennifer DeWall, RDN, LD, CSSD, CIC®

Conversation 26:  The Story, Journey and Passion of Jennifer DeWall, RDN, LD, CSSD, CIC®   “When you have a new position you can overestimate what can be done in a year, but you can underestimate what can be done in 5 years. You think you should be making all these great leaps and bounds but it takes a little bit of time .” - Jennifer DeWall, RDN, LD, CSSD My conversation today is with Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Jennifer DeWall. Jen is enthusiastic and open to anything when it comes to being a registered dietitian. In her career, she has placed herself in new positions and welcomed the challenge to create and define those positions. Jen grew up in a home where health and wellness was extremely important. She had an aunt who was a registered dietitian in private practice who in a roundabout way, maybe lead her to her own private practice today. In our conversation we talk about her love for preventative health, sports and athletes, working as a dietary aide, experience with policy, her advice when having your own practice and a new adventure she is a part of called Nourish Mobile Grocery. Please  enjoy my conversation with Jen.
