Resources for Health Professionals

This resource is a companion piece to evidence-based and culturally relevant consumer resources developed to help the increasingly diverse US population in building healthy eating patterns based on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

In this professional guide, we summarize the evidence that informed the development of the consumer resources and provide ideas for how you can use them with your clients and patients.

Energy.  Excellence.  Empathy.  In Action.

We brought in the Nutrition In Demand team to help us with a rebranding project for one of our programs. Shelley and her team planned and implemented a comprehensive process that included targeted data gathering, key informant interviews, and information analysis to inform our rebrand goals and marketing needs. The amount and quality of the data exceeded our expectations, giving us valuable information useful beyond the rebrand. Their creative approach and suggestions helped our team come to a clear consensus for a powerful rebrand outcome.  The NID team came to the table with enthusiasm, high energy and professionalism. We could not be more pleased with their approach, their work style and the project outcome. We would definitely use their services again!

We have contracted Nutrition In Demand to represent the Food Marketing Institute (FMI) to key external stakeholders.  For the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics’ Food & Nutrition Conference & Exposition, the team helped us to brainstorm and plan our exhibit booth to promote National Family Meal Month to dietetic professionals.  Shelley and her team of registered dietitians also helped us staff the booth. Due to their exceptional outreach skills, we received almost 400 contacts for our program. Nutrition In Demand is an excellent resource for any organization looking to enhance their nutrition and health strategies and programs.
