Nutrition is an evidenced-based practice, which means as information becomes available nutrition care evolves. In the modern age clients are constantly being inundated with more and more information regarding health and wellness. Similarly, more non-dietitian individuals are entering the field of nutrition care and competing with RDs in the form of social media influencers, health coaches, wellness gurus, etc.

Generation Z (Gen Z) are individuals born after 1996 into the 2000s. Capturing and retaining young adult clients means being able to understand their perspectives on nutrition and health, how they're receiving nutrition information, and who they are getting information and education from.

Being culturally competent and adapting practice to provide individualized, tailored nutrition care also means appreciating how these perspectives are different from other age demographics. Using a DE&I lens, this presentation will provide tips and tricks for evolving nutrition practice in order to expand one's young adult client-based in the newly competitive nutrition market.
