Aidan Muir, APD

I run my own business and currently see a 50/50 split of clients between athletes (mostly strength athletes e.g. powerlifters) and “general clients” who are typically either looking to lose weight or address IBS symptoms.

In addition to this, I spend a large portion of my time trying to put out content on social media and on my website.

Susan Watson, RD, BHNSc. Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor

Most of my days are spent working on growth and development of my nutrition business in Winnipeg, and the remainder of my time is spent mentoring my team and staff. Sales and marketing is my first love, so I spend a lot of time developing leads and opportunities for my team so that they can have a consistent form of employment.

Dr. Jacob Mey, PhD, RD

In my ideal future, GOOD nutrition information being shared by health professionals on social media will finally outweigh the BAD nutrition information pushed by celebrities, supplement companies, or self-proclaimed (non-credentialed) ‘internet gurus.’

Stephanie Margolis, RD, LD & Josh Clauser, RD

Currently I own The Sarcastic Nutritionist with fellow RD Josh Clauser. He is the creative and funny one of the company while I make business plans, put lots of numbers into lots of spreadsheets, and color code many, many things.

Angela Berrill, NZRD

The last 5 years has been an incredibly challenging time for our profession with so much nutrition-nonsense in the media and online. In my ideal world, people would turn to the qualified nutrition professionals for dietary advice and become warier of what they read in the media, wellness bloggers, and anyone else who gives unsubstantiated nutrition advice.

Maree Ferguson AdvAPD, RD, FAND, MBA, PhD

I have worked in a few areas over my career. After completing my PhD developing the malnutrition screening tool (now used around the world), I worked in Research & Development and then Marketing (after obtaining my MBA) for a nutrition company in the United States for 8 years. I then moved back to Brisbane, Australia, to take up a management position in a large hospital as Director of Nutrition and Dietetics with more than 30 dietetic staff. I now work in a rather unique role as the founder and director of my own business Dietitian Connection.
