Can you tell us a little bit about yourself? I am a kale loving Canadian dietitian and nutrition blogger from Toronto, the place where I’ve lived my whole life and also the home of worldwide rap phenomenon Drake. My life revolves around nutrition!

I’m also a Dietitian & Nutritionist and own the Instagram @nourish_naturally. What do you see as some of the opportunities and challenges for dietitians in the future? The online world, especially social media! Take Instagram for example. There are over 95 million photos uploaded to IG every day & over 40 billion posts made to date.
