How Kristy Baumann Transitioned from Clinical to Dietitian Boss in Less Than One Year
Are you wondering how it’s possible to leave a clinical job to become your own Dietitian Boss? It may be easier than you think!
In today’s episode, Libby is talking with Kristy Baumann. Kristy is a registered dietitian, marathon runner, wife, and mama to a toddler. Kristy is a small-town girl who never thought she'd enjoy living in a big city, an ice cream lover who grew up as a picky eater and became a veggie-lover, and the back-of-the-pack high school runner, who was pushing her limits to break three hours in the marathon.
As a collegiate runner, she found herself attempting to eat super healthy by choosing low-fat foods, restricting calories, and fighting hunger cues. This left her feeling fatigued, over-trained, and experiencing reoccurring injuries. It wasn't until years later that she realized it was all related to under-eating. Now, she uses her personal experiences to inspire other female runners to nourish their bodies without restriction. She teaches them to reframe their mindset around food and use food as fuel through sports nutrition and intuitive eating practices. Her clients are not only reaching their performance goals, but also improving their lifestyle. Kristy has dreamed of becoming her own dietitian boss and is now turning that dream into a reality.
“The women from this podcast series really inspired me. I started to believe that I could be an entrepreneur. I don't have to wait until later on in my career when I have all these connections, which I thought was what I had to do. I can do it now and start now.” - Kristy Baumann
