Thanks so much for joining us for episode 40 of the podcast. In this episode, we are going to be talking all about food and nutrition trends for 2021. 

And - we've rebranded! What was formerly known as The Dietitian Project Podcast is now officially the Dietitian Success Podcast. This rebrand was a part of our larger strategy to align with the vision of Dietitian Success Center - to make it easier for dietitians and dietetic students to build expertise. 

So, why is it so important for dietitians and rd2be's to stay on top of trends? 

Because trends dictate human behaviour! So if you find yourself on the right side of a trend, whether that be the niche you choose or the content you create, you have a huge opportunity to reach a larger group of people. 

So in this podcast, we are sharing our take on the top 10 food and nutrition trends for 2021.
