Interview with Aimee Dempsey RD – Common Nutrition Mistakes and Myths
Can you spot a nutrition myth when you see it online?? Nutrition can be so confusing on it's own but when you factor in people spreading mis-information or selling detox teas.....it can feel impossible. So we decided to tackle some common nutrition mistakes and myths.
My friend Aimee (we go way back to college together) joins the podcast to share her expertise and sheds some light on common nutrition myths that are out there.
She is an RD which is a registered dietician and this is one of the first things we talk about - how to spot credentialed professionals in order to get quality, science backed information.
Aimee is also an incredible athlete and she discusses ways to fuel as a very active person.
I think it is so fun to podcast with my friend of over 20 years and we can share our expertise together.
We spent so many days opening/closing and working at the campus rec center together talking about some of these very same topics.
I know you'll enjoy this episode.
In this episode we discuss:
- How to spot a credentialed expert and why that matters
- Why we tend to overcomplicate nutrition and what to do
- The extreme focus on protein and how to include all macros
- The continuum of fresh/convenience/processed/ultra processed foods
- The all or nothing mentality
- So much more
About Aimee:
I'm a Registered Dietitian and Coach and I have the pleasure of helping busy athletes simplify their nutrition so they can fuel their life, training and competition. My first degrees were in health science and psychology, and after a few years working in community health and personal training, I decided to go back and become an RD.
After being diagnosed with Celiac Disease in college and learning how to eat all over again (with the help of an amazing RD and the support of my parents), I truly never stopped dreaming about going back to school to do the same. Now I get to live my dream of helping people reach goals they never thought possible!
