We love asking the DD community, “How do you envision the future of dietetics?”
Because building a more inclusive field starts with listening — and .tlc.rd said it so well. The future is DIVERSE in so many ways!

We’re closing out the year with momentum — and there’s still time to help us go further by going to our end of the year campaign!

Because of this community, Diversify Dietetics is heading into the new year rooted and rising — able to continue mentorship, scholarships, and culturally responsive training for future dietitians of color.

✨If you’re able, your support helps us extend this impact and carry our work forward into the year ahead.

✨Dr. Andie Lee Gonzalez—also known as Andie Lee—is a first-generation Latina dietitian whose journey spans community nutrition, retail, private practice, academia, and industry. In this episode, she walks us through her path from growing up in South Texas to becoming a Pediatric Medical Science Liaison at Abbott Nutrition, all while co-owning a bilingual private practice and teaching the next generation of dietitians.

📚Andie Lee opens up about navigating higher education as a first-generation student, discovering dietetics through community nutrition, and facing the financial barriers of unpaid internships. She shares how mentorship and alternative pathways made her career possible—and why she’s committed to paying that support forward.

👩🏻‍⚕️We dive into what a Medical Science Liaison actually does, what a typical week looks like when you juggle multiple roles, and how to recognize when it’s time to pivot. Andie Lee also speaks candidly about imposter syndrome, burnout, and the importance of rest, reflection, and owning your seat at the table.

❤️Throughout the conversation, Andie Lee emphasizes culturally responsive care, bilingual nutrition education, and why representation and mentorship are essential to the future of dietetics—especially in underserved communities.
