Welcome to Dishing Up Nutrition's Ask a Nutritionist podcast brought to you by Nutritional

Weight and Wellness.

I am Brittany Vincent, a registered and licensed dietitian.

We are thrilled to be celebrating 20 years on air

discussing the connection between what you eat and how you feel while sharing practical,
