Before welcoming this week’s incredible guest, we reminisce on WoMed x New Girl reels, and applaud Maren Morris and Cassadee Pope for standing up to Brittany Aldean. Your hosts are then joined by registered dietician Kara Wilson, who has chosen to work specifically with nurses! She shares why she chose to work with nurses in particular, what she would define as healthy or balanced eating, and offers advice to nurses on night shift. Her and Jackie bond over how common tackling a shift on nothing but a coffee is—and suggests little tricks and treats to have alongside that much needed caffeine. Kara and your hosts talk about social media pressure and diet trends that are harmful and not sustainable, as well as the responsibility that comes with being an influencer. While Kara makes a point to acknowledge how individual nutrition is, we hope this episode reminds you that you’re not alone in those shift-work struggles, or in combatting the diet culture that has been ingrained in us forever.
