Get ready to dive into a world of nutrition, sports, some snacks and dorm room cooking! Host Alex is joined by the one and only Brad Shannon and our special guest, Carly Robinson, a grad assistant in the Wellness Department at Holy Cross. Carly’s journey from student-athlete to nutrition guru is nothing short of impressive. She managed to self-design a nutrition major at Holy Cross—because who wouldn’t want to create their own degree when you’re that ambitious, right?

Carly spills the tea on how her athletic days helped her find the perfect blend of sports nutrition and food science, and she’s now juggling grad school at UMass Lowell with a gig as a wellness assistant at Holy Cross. You know, just casually becoming a registered dietitian while still having time for, well, life.

In this episode, Carly shreds some common nutrition myths (no, protein shakes are not just for bodybuilders), shares the ins and outs of becoming a registered dietitian (spoiler: it involves a lot of really interesting internships and real-world experience), and serves up a ton of valuable info for anyone interested in health, food, and the athletic lifestyle. So grab a snack, , and tune in for a fun, educational, and slightly hilarious episode. You won’t want to miss it!
