Sara Haas, a culinary dietitian based out of Chicago, is on the show today! She just announced her first cookbook, in partnership with Elizabeth Shaw (episode 18), a recipe collection for fertility! Sara shares why she selected her internship of choice, gets real about her first job, and explains both why she chose to pursue culinary training and how she got into media and freelance work.

In the intro, you’ll hear about a new project I’m launching with RDs who have been on this podcast! Subscribe to the RD Real Talk newsletter (link in the @RDRealTalk Instagram profile) for first dibs on the details next week.

Listener question: What do you wish you knew as an undergrad studying nutrition?

Career questions: How do you build a career as a spokesperson? Recipe developer? Freelance writer?  What inspired a Fertility Foods cookbook?

Fun fact: She’s speaking at FNCE, 2017! Check out her session here.
