Hi! I’m Rita Smith, a Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Educator. I’ve been working in the field of nutrition and disease prevention for over 35 years, and currently work at Martha Jefferson Hospital in Charlottesville, VA. I look forward to chatting with you each week on various nutrition topics – from using dietary approaches for cholesterol reduction to managing the painful symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome.

Nutrition is ever-changing and can even be confusing. I hope to make sense of current nutrition topics and provide reasonable, healthy-eating tips for you and your family to be well and stay well. Of course, for medical advice, diagnosis, treatment and care, be sure to work with your own health care provider.

In today’s podcast Cara and Erin explore the question “What Story Are You Living?” (also a book by Carol Pearson) and how understanding our life story helps us engage in our present life with increased strength and wisdom. We introduce the universal hero’s journey to show how story can be symbolic and metaphorical while also being relevant to our lives right now. Also, we play a bit of music to give an example of the feeling and tone of the hero’s journey. Please visit our website
