The last four days have been a whirlwind of information and people, but it was amazing.  I attended the Food and Nutrition Conference and Expo in Houston, TX.  I was surrounded by other dietitians who were just as excited about food as me!  It was so great!  I’m so excited to start implementing many of the wonderful ideas that fellow registered dietitians shared with me.  Along with meeting wonderful people, I also learned a great deal about the latest nutrition research.  With the field of nutrition changing frequently this is important to make sure I continue to bring you accurate up-to-date information.

One of my favorite speakers was artist Eric Wahl.  He was very motivating and inspiring as he convinced us of the importance of creativity and overcoming fear.  Just look at his masterpiece that he created in 2 minutes.  Isn’t it amazing?!?  He also personally touched my heart as he played a video of welcome home reunions of deployed Soldiers with their families.  This proud army spouse loved it!

I also enjoyed perusing the vast amount of expo booths in attendance.  Its nice to sample many of the new, healthy products on the market without having to buy all of them.  Don’t worry, I plan on writing about a few of the healthy products that I particularly enjoyed so you can check them out too.  If you’re in my area I grabbed some extras to share!

I can’t wait to share so much new and exciting information with you.  Stay tuned for the latest and greatest nutrition information that you need to keep you and your family healthy!
