      In this episode of The Empowering Dietitians Podcast, host and dietitian supervisor Jess Serdikoff Romola sits down with Adrien Paczosa,

      • [141] Individuality "versus" Community: Do Dietitians Really Need to Choose?

        In this episode of The Empowering Dietitians Podcast, host and dietitian supervisor Jess Serdikoff Romola discusses the nuance of individuality "versus" community - does embracing a systems-based, community focused approach mean erasure of you as an individual? Does valuing your unique identity as a dietitian mean you have to also value rugged individualism? Jess discusses the major pitfalls of society's often binary take on this topic, how it impacts us as dietitians, and what perspective she prefers to take, instead.
