We will have a new segment "Could ask the nutritionist or Nutritionist Hotline". I'm doing a call out if you would like any nutrition questions answered.
YOU CAN ASK any NUTRITION and WELLNESS QUESTIONS
We would love to answer them for you and have you on and help everyone else out there because I think this is the right thing.
So if you're brave enough to put it out there, it's completely anonymous. It may not just help you and give you that nutritionist knowledge for free, and help others with the same questions or issues.
