The lack of nutrition education in medical training is a critical issue that warrants immediate attention. In this episode of the NTI PodTalk, we delve into the critical gaps in nutrition training within medical education and the pressing need for healthcare professionals to understand the profound impact of diet on health.

Meghan McGee’s interest in cooking for wellness was sparked by her desire to create inclusive and nourishing meals for community gatherings. This led her to the Nutrition Therapy Institute and the Natural Food Chef program. Listen in as Meghan talks about the inspiring path that led her to cooking for wellness, the transformative experience of the Natural Food Chef program, and her virtual cooking classes! About Meghan:I was blessed to have found a passion for health at an early age. I studied Health and Wellness Promotion and Nutrition in college and graduated with a Bachelor of Science. After graduating, I was unsure how I was going to use my degree and I loved all the knowledge I could get, so I enrolled at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and got a health coach certification a year later. I dabbled in health coaching and other wellness jobs, but nothing really filled my cup. In my early 20's I was diagnosed with Lyme disease after many years of searching for answers. During that time, I dove into all the holistic health and nutrition information I could find and built a foundation for myself. Looking back, I am grateful for those experiences because they really fueled my journey to NTI. I graduated from the NFC program in the spring of 2021 and I now teach cooking classes at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs, and I offer private cooking classes in my clients' homes. I have a deep-rooted passion for slow food and I aspire to continue sharing that passion with my community and beyond.

Aimee Smith is a 2022 graduate of NTI's Nutrition Therapist Master program and Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition®. She has also completed Level-1 certification in GI Functional Nutrition through Restorative Wellness Solutions. Before NTI, she spent her 28-year career as an RN in the hospital setting watching people get sicker and dealing with her own health issues. Aimee wanted to help have a more positive impact on health. She now combines her nursing knowledge with nutrition and lifestyle changes to help people live their best lives. She believes the best way to true, vibrant health is what we put in our bodies, removing barriers to healing, and giving the body what it needs to ultimately heal.
