Stephanie sits down with registered dietitian Jenna Gorham. She founded The RD Link in 2020 as a dietician access network, giving health food companies and nutrition experts more access to each other.

Listen in as Jenna offers her best tips and strategies to licensed healthcare professionals looking to partner with brands in the food space, including pitching best practices, and deciding when to approach your first company. She also talks about the difference between consulting with a brand and being a spokesperson or ambassador for one.
