The final interview of Season 2! Jessica Isaacs has an incredible journey to becoming a sports dietitian. Jessica shares advice for up- and-coming Sports RD's and takes us behind the scenes of her social media! 

Jessica Isaacs is a Board Certified Specialist in Sports Dietetics, a Performance Dietitian at UCLA, and also operates a virtual private practice. She completed undergrad at Purdue University where she also interned under the Director of Sports Nutrition, Lauren Link.

Jessica’s professional career as a Sports Dietitian began at Kobe Bryant’s MAMBA Sports Academy, where she worked with hundreds of athletes from youth to pro, providing 1-1 performance nutrition counseling, group education opportunities. She also supported MAMBA’s NFL pre-combine and NBA pre-draft programs, and had the opportunity to support Kobe’s MAMBA Pro Invitational Camp which hosted several top NBA players. Jessica now works with the Men’s and Women’s Basketball teams at UCLA, operating as an integral part of the performance team.

She also recently partnered with All Access Dietetics to launch the Real World Sports Nutrition Toolkit where she shares advice that helped fast track her sports dietetics career and is packed with resources for aspiring sports dietitians.

Jessica believes in cutting through the B.S. of nutrition misinformation and diet culture, and uses social media as a creative way to share her performance nutrition messages, making educational content, graphics, and lots of TikToks and Reels.
