Access Nourishment started as a school project and quickly evolved into a calling that could be something more. Dr. Shelby Gonser and Louise Shines connected on the project and while they both took slightly different angles to the impact nutrition can have, both of them benefit ATs and the patients they care for.

In this episode, we hear the story of how Access Nourishment got started. Shelby and Louise share each of their passions around nutrition and how eating “healthy” as an AT isn’t always easy and being able to provide good nutritional information to patients can be challenging. In the discussion they discuss what they have found so far and what resources they are hoping to put together to grow Access Nourishment to the benefit of everyone. Check it out.
