Last year, my colleagues and I founded the Czech Association of Dietitians and we have big plans. We were able to join EFAD (European Federation of the Associations of Dietitians) this year, which is really great. We are supporting the improvement of food in hospitals, better nutritional care, public health, education and internships for RDs and continue raising general knowledge about nutrition. It will be a long way, but I hope we will be successful.

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.

We toured Canada twice, taught workshops at the National conference and did consulting for brands like Dairy Farmers of Canada and Pulses. This work leaned into me creating other in person and online workshops to teach dietitians about gut health and FODMAPs, business and creating online programs in health.

Probably about once I week I move my office to the kitchen for recipe development and food photos – those are definitely some of my favourite days!

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.
