Incoming 1st Year Student in BS Nutrition and Dietetics
Hello po! 🥹
I’m an incoming BS Nutrition and Dietetics student, and honestly I’m both excited and nervous for this new journey. 💚
I am also a cancer survivor, and because of my experiences, I really grew to love and appreciate the field of nutrition and dietetics. I have my own nutritionist-dietitian, and seeing how nutrition truly helps people made me realize that this is my dream course.
I believe people should learn to be more in tune with their health and not just blindly follow random advice on the internet because “one size fits all” does not apply to everyone. I’ve encountered so many people saying things like “don’t eat this,” “sugar feeds cancer,” and many other myths that are not always scientifically proven or properly explained.
Because of my nutritionist-dietitian, I learned not to fear food but to appreciate it and eat in moderation instead of hating certain foods because of misinformation from uneducated people online. Nutrition made me see food as something that can nourish, heal, and improve quality of life when approached properly. 🥹
Do you have any tips, recommendations, or advice for surviving and enjoying this course? Especially book recommendations, study materials, apps, or anything that helped you during your ND journey.
I would also really appreciate any insights, motivations, realizations, or encouraging words from students or graduates of this course huhu. Thank you so much po! ✨
