Happy Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Day! 🥼🥑
We appreciate all of our preceptors, instructors, and RDNs everywhere who commit to educating the new generations of dietitians. We are especially grateful to Dr. Fakier and Mrs. Serio for all that they do for our class and for showing us what it means to be an excellent RDN. 💙🍏🥦🥕

🏈🥗 Stepped inside the Saints’ training facility today and got a behind the scenes look at how sports dietitians, Jamie Meeks and Meredith Fleming, fuel performance at the highest level. From recovery nutrition to game day fueling strategies, every detail matters. 💪⚜️ Inspired by the science, teamwork, and impact happening off the field!
