Bone health is something that athletes don't think about enough. This episode dives into the science of bones, including how bones grow and develop and when you start losing bone density. I chat with Andrea Giancoli, MPH, RD, the Nutrition Advisor for the California Prune Board, about nutrients and foods that can protect bones. 

We also discuss some really interesting studies featuring prunes. Study links below:
Prunes may protect you from fracture risk
Prunes have also been shown to lower inflammation, decrease oxidation and increase antioxidant activity

I was recently asked to give the commencement address to the Teacher's College Columbia University Dietetic Intern Class of 2021. As a preceptor to several interns, I was absolutely honored and delighted to share my words of wisdom with them. In the address, I chat about my experience with imposter syndrome and finding the joy and passion in what you do. I share how I found my unique role in the nutrition field and why everyone should strive to do something that makes them happy on a daily basis. Although the talk is for RDs-to-be, I think it will resonate with anyone who wants to be passionate about their career.
