Sometimes we hear things on the news about new diet trends or the latest “must-take supplement” but it’s important to use the tools we have to find the real story.

That’s where registered dietitian and Growing Bolder’s nutrition expert Dr. Susan Mitchell comes in. She’s here to weigh through the hype and get to the actual facts.

What drew her to her career in diet and nutrition?

She explains how her father’s medical history and experiences with a registered dietitian influenced her future when she was still in college. Plus, as she helplessly watch her father, mother and brother all die from diseases at young ages, she vowed to find ways to use nutrition to prevent diseases, even if our food can’t cure illness.

She reveals what the science says to help people live healthier, longer lives and why food is more powerful than pills.
