Why I Quit my Nutrition Career

It's true. I quit my nutrition career for a period of time not too many years ago. Is quitting a bad thing? How do you know when you need to take a sabbatical vs. just needing a career change? Hear my story of why I had to stop my work as a dietitian and how I came back into the field.

Hello Amy, I appreciate your honesty about needing a break the dietetic career. The typical 9 to 5 of clinical work can lead to burnout for some. It's nice that you were able to experience jewelry making and find peace while also earning a salary. Peace

You're welcome. I'm starting to believe that working 9-5 in any job will become a thing of the past.

Hi Amy. Your story is awesome. I've been a chef for the last 27 years and am about to start my Masters Degree in Nutrition and Dietetics. I am now self-employed and have been running my own Personal Chef business for the last 18 years. I am also from the east coast and moved to Golden, Colorado in 2004 (still here 20 years later and love it!). How do you provide Telehealth and how do you go about billling insurance companies. Thank you!

@@larehpirep1 thanks so much! I love our similarities. Congrats on the masters program-very exciting. It’s not a quick & simple question to answer but you’d have to apply to become an in network provider with insurance companies and get a contract with them. Then you can submit your claims to them. (I have a whole self paced course on how to do this- available on my website). But I love this option because I do t need to commute to an office or rent space.

I'm a chef for 18 years and would like to try dietician job. How hard is it?

If you like science classes, you'll enjoy it. You need a masters degree now to become a dietitian.
