Media Contacts

Registered Dietitians are the Nutrition Experts

As registered dietitians, we encounter consumers seeking real, science-based clarification of nutrition information (or misinformation) they get from the internet, newspapers and magazines, television, or friends. Let us help you report accurate food and nutrition information to your audience.

If you are looking for a nutrition expert for your story, we will help you find the right registered dietitian. Arizona dietitians work in various settings including research and academia, hospitals, community health, private practice and the food industry. Our goal is to help the media report relevant, current, science-supported facts about food, nutrition, culinary nutrition and food safety to our communities.

Please contact us at any time.
