About my blog:

NEWEST UPDATE!!: I am now employed, working at a nearby psychiatric hospital – as the ONLY dietitian – serving a wide variety of patients all of their nutritional needs. Keep on reading!

NEW UPDATE!: I successfully passed the RD exam in July, so it’s no longer RD2B around here, but the name hasn’t changed on the blog. I’ve also moved from Nashville (sniff sniff) to East Tennessee, right outside the Smoky Mountains, until I can find a job and a place to move to. But stick around and keep reading! Being unemployed only gives me more time to have blogging adventures!

UPDATE: I graduated from the Dietetic Internship Program at Vanderbilt, and will be taking the RD exam next week (aah!). I still intend to keep this blog running, as I journey into the ‘real world’ of jobs and such grown up activities. For now… I’m still RD2B. So stick around and enjoy the show! :)

Welcome to my blog! As my username, rd2b, says, I am a soon-to-be registered dietitian. Well, in a year or so. I just graduated from the University of Georgia with a degree in nutrition, and am about to begin my dietetic internship at Vanderbilt University Medical Center for 10 months.

This blog is about my life as a dietetic intern. I hope to share some of the things I learn in my rotations, as well as blog about my interests in nutrition, food, cooking, vegetarianism, and health. I am becoming more and more interested in sustainable food and agricultural practices and how we can all make easy steps to be more environmentally-friendly. That’s the main reason behind my vegetarianism. The title of my blog “Everything in Moderation” is a motto from one of my nutrition professors that basically sums up my philosophy on nutrition, but also in most things in life. Although the American culture is becoming increasingly all-or-nothing, I think we’d all be much better off if we can achieve a healthy balance of all things, good or bad. So that’s why, even if I do hold a degree in nutrition, I still love to bake cookies with entire sticks of butter, and sometimes eat chocolate for breakfast. You only live once, right? :)

So thank you for stumbling upon my blog. Enjoy your stay, feel free to leave comments and let me know your thoughts. I have a lot to learn about the art of blogging, and hope to improve my skills!
