Vanessa Rissetto RD is the dietetic internship director at NYU and Cofounder of Culina Health, a health and nutrition counseling company. In this episode, Vanessa’s passion shines through  for elevating nutrition by addressing the lack of attention on social trends and how they apply to health and nutrition. Vanessa explains the importance of emotional intelligence and its role in dietetics, and not just the science behind it. Vanessa applies basic human experience and social aspects to choosing the best nutrition plans for her clients. She believes each human knows their body best and can give insight on choosing the right nutrition plan, rather than hopping on another fad diet. Chase and Vanessa touch on the importance of social trends and nutrition, the importance of water, and balancing life and nutrition.
