Missy Schaaphok, RDN

Taco Bell originally hired me to do product development; however, about 6 months into the job, I realized that my credentials could be put to good use and championed for my role to lead nutrition. I had no idea what that meant or what I was really asking for, but I’m glad I went for it. Shortly after, I became the first dietitian at Taco Bell, and now I’m leading Global Nutrition & Sustainability, all of which has been a remarkable and humbling learning opportunity.

Aimee Takamura RDN, LDN

I spend a good deal of time working with our culinary team to make sure the food we’re serving is varied, seasonal, and creative. I make an effort to ensure we cater to as many food preferences as possible (vegetarian, vegan, avoiding dairy, for example). Other than that, each day is totally different.

Kathleen (Kathy) S. LaBella, RDN, CDN, CSSD, ACE-CMES/CPT

My practice is presently changing. I continue my niche on nutrition for musicians, and my other niche is lifestyle that includes a combination of activity, fitness, and outdoor living. It’s not about a diet, it’s about the entire lifestyle. I would like to take all that I have taught individuals and start packaging it to provide online programs or motivational public speaking.

I am a full time psychiatric dietitian, but also have a private practice where I utilize functional nutrition to help clients prevent and reverse disease. I am employed by my local hospice as well, helping patients and families make informed end of life nutrition decisions.

Chrissy Carroll, MPH, RD, USAT Level I Triathlon Coach

My business originated in 2011, as a combination of corporate wellness, 1-1 counseling, and blogging. It took a while to really niche down and figure out what I liked. For several years I was running both the corporate wellness company as well as my blog, until I finally closed the corporate wellness company to focus specifically on blogging and nutrition communications. Now, that’s what I devote 100% of my energy to.
