FNCE 2025: Innovation, Inclusion, and the Expanding Role of Nutrition Professionals – A Dietitians Recap

The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics’ Food & Nutrition Conference & Expo (FNCE) 2025 in Nashville brought together thousands of nutrition professionals (like myself!) to explore new frontiers in health, technology, and food systems.  From the evolving impact of GLP-1 medications to the importance of culturally responsive food access and the growing clinical applications of creatine, this year’s sessions highlighted the breadth and depth of the nutrition profession. Here's a deep dive into a few of my favorite sessions and a highlight of some of my favorite events!

FNCE 2024 - A Dietitian’s Highlights

One of my favorite experiences each fall is attending FNCE—the world's largest meeting of food and nutrition experts and registered dietitian nutritionists, hosted by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. The conference includes educational sessions, an expo hall, excursions, special events, and some fun parties. This year, I traveled to Minneapolis, MN, and I can’t wait to share my experience with you. Let’s dive into my fav sessions and new products!

A Meal From the Edge of the World

,

When I was in Africa, I was able to experience many foods that I'd never heard of or seen before. This is one of my favorite things about traveling - the discovery of new flavors, and along with them, new cultures. Recently, I found myself on assignment in South Sudan. This is a nation normally associated with civil strife - a quick search only brings up awful headlines about the fighting that is still ongoing in this beautiful country. Dealing with this humanitarian crisis was the main reason for my being there, yet when I'm on assignment, I still always make an effort to dive into local culture as much as I can.
