Dietitian Connection
About this episode

If you haven’t met Susie Burrell in person, you’ll certainly have seen her on breakfast TV, or read one of her many online articles, or listened to her podcast, or viewed her posts on social media. She’s achieved a lot in her 20+ year career – and she’s not done yet. Tune in to this engaging episode with one of Australia’s leading dietitians, where Susie reveals what she loves most about being a dietitian, from the deep connections with clinical clients to navigating the highs and lows of mainstream media.    In the episode, we discuss:

  • Susie’s expansive career journey from paediatrics to elite sports nutrition, to food industry, media and podcasting
  • Why continued clinical practice is essential to Susie, despite her broad media presence
  • How she balances being business-savvy with genuine empathy
  • The future of dietetics and the essential skills dietitians need to thrive 

Hosted by Brooke Delfino
