📢Introducing: Dietitian & Artist Sara Kerr (The Kerrminator)
❓Question: How long have you been and RD and what do you do as a RD?
I’ve been a Registered Dietitian since 2020 and currently work in telehealth, providing 1:1 nutrition counseling.
❓Question: How did you get into creating merch for dietitians and having a shop?
While nutrition has become my profession, “making stuff” has always been a constant in my life. My website has existed in one form or another since 2009, originally serving as a portfolio for my artwork. Over the years, it evolved as my interests and career have shifted.
In 2021, I launched an online shop featuring nutrition and dietetics-inspired designs and products that bring together my profession and creative interests. Starting my shop was a way to make space for creativity and self-expression outside of my work as a dietitian.
I’ve always been an artist. I just also chose to become a dietitian.

🗣️FNCE: Big News!
This will come as welcome news to many, and not just in the RD community. Jessica is very active on most all social media platforms. Some dietitians are already saying that this might make them more likely to attend.
If you follow Jessica Knurick, PhD, RDN on any social media channel or Substack you know she is very outspoken about RFK Jr and the harm he has caused through HHS. Not to mention that she has strongly pointed out what this administration has done to undermine and underfund public health programs.

☑️☠️Substack: Everything Is Toxic. Everything Is Fine. And I'm Exhausted
Dr. Katie Rhodes
“…Most of the time, the things we already know about matter more than the things we are worrying about. Food packaging chemicals are not more important than sleep. Pesticide residues do not matter more than eating enough vegetables. Sunscreen ingredients do not deserve more attention than avoiding sunburn. Exercise, weight training, a minimally processed diet, decent sleep, not drinking too much, not smoking, getting outside, having actual conversations with other humans — we all know the list.
What is less often said is how hard that list actually is to action, and how unevenly the conditions for doing so are distributed. I do believe we have some control over our health, though not total control and not always equal control — genetics, money, time, work, caring responsibilities and plain bad luck all have a vote too. That distinction is important to me because there is a version of modern wellness that turns illness into a personal failure. If you get sick, you didn’t eat clean enough, detox properly, regulate your nervous system, or optimise the right morning routine. I don’t believe that. Sometimes people do a lot right and still get ill. Sometimes people do very little right and live to 96. Health advice should help people find what they can change. It should not turn suffering into a character flaw…”.
☑️🔍LinkedIn Nutrition is a Science Not an Opinion -Abdallh Abolila (Clinical RD - Egypt)
As nutrition professionals our role is to translate science into practical strategies that people can realistically follow.
Nutrition is not about choosing sides.
It's about understanding evidence, individual needs, and sustainable habits that support health over time.
The strongest nutrition advice isn't the loudest voice in the room.
It's the advice supported by science.
