In this episode of The Busy Bariatrics Podcast, I sat down with Ryan Turner—a registered dietitian who made the jump from healthcare consulting to the world of nutrition (spoiler: we’re glad he did). We dug into what it really means to understand nutrition beyond just macros and calories, and how small, consistent habits drive long-term change.

One of the best takeaways? Ryan’s concept of ‘Habit 24’—getting in 24 ounces of fruits and veggies every day. Simple, doable, and a total game changer for anyone struggling with consistency.

We also talked about the power of community, why journaling and reflection matter more than perfection, and how parenting impacts the way we show up—not just for our kids, but for ourselves. If you're ready to take back control of your health with clarity and purpose, this one’s for you.
