    Amazing!
    Thank you for doing this. I feel less alone. Very excited to check out the study schedule too!
  • ydvhveuhvuehvfehijjf
    Thank you Jana!
    I passed my exam on Monday! I listened to a few podcasts, but your podcast was unique in that you use the art of story throughout. Which is a very nice approach, and brought in more of a situational way of learning. There are so many wonderful podcast episodes, but my favorites had to do with ebb and flow, nutrition diagnosis versus medical diagnosis, re-feeding syndrome (oh yea) and the Acts! - Detria

    Appreciative Almost RD
    As I have been studying this summer for my RD exam, I have been on the lookout for good podcasts that review exam material in an approachable way. This podcast totally resonates with me and I so wish it went over every topic for the exam simply because of how amazing she reviews the material! She is an amazing teacher and I can’t wait to listen to more episodes as I gear up for my upcoming exam. Thank you for your positivity! I WILL pass the exam thanks to your help and guidance.

    Can’t access
    I am loving several of these episodes…the ones I can download. When I try to access most of them it says temporarily unavailable. Any one else having these issues?? Thanks in advance for help.
