hi there :)

…my name is Marysol. I am a registered dietitian nutritionist (RD or RDN for short). If you've never heard of a dietitian, no worries, I didn't know I was studying to become one until halfway through college (that's a story for another time).

To be honest, after I graduated, I was not very thrilled about the idea of working as a dietitian. It wasn't until I had the privilege of working with patients struggling with eating disorders and mental health issues that I came to fully appreciate the value of nutrition.

Through working with these patients & others who were struggling with different illnesses such as diabetes or renal disease or heart failure, I noticed that many people were living with the wrong idea about nutrition.

I realized that there is a lot of confusion surrounding nutrition & what "eating healthy" means, and these misconceptions can lead someone down a dangerous path if given the perfect conditions. And after encountering enough of these experiences, I decided that it was time to do something.

So I started a youtube channel and just recently added a free resource section as well as a little shop to continue to support you on your nutrition journey.

My goals are to be consistent in providing you with valuable and encouraging content and to create a place that is encouraging, supportive, trustworthy, and safe.

My hope is that the information you find in The Book of Nutrition will help you gain a better understanding of nutrition and its role in these beautiful lives we lead.

Thank you for reading until the end! Please know that you are so special and I'm so glad you are here. Cheers :)
