In this video, I’m walking through EVERYTHING you ever wanted to know about how to take care of yourself as a college student. I chat about the challenges of “adulting” in college, how college sets us up to fail, and I give practical, real-life tips for how to care for every part of your health and well-being.
Mentioned in this episode:
The 7 dimensions of wellness:
My previous podcast episode, “The Nutrition Starting Line and Making Positive Change”
My “follow” for the week: @vitamin_ri, aka Maria Sylvester Terry, MS RD. (she passed the RD exam three days after I recorded this episode!)
