Robyn Flipse, The Everyday Dietitian

As a registered dietitian, Robyn has headed up the nutritional care services in a large teaching hospital, maintained a private practice where she provided individual diet therapy, taught nutrition courses at three New Jersey colleges, written The Wedding Dress Diet (Random House, 2000) and Fighting the Freshman Fifteen (Three Rivers Press, 2002) plus dozens of magazine and newsletter articles, and served as a spokesperson for numerous food and beverage companies, including The Coca-Cola Company, McNeil Nutritionals LLC, and Nestle. Robyn is also a member of the Nutrition Blog Network

Having mastered all that she could to answer people's questions about "what" they should eat, she then obtained her master's degree in cultural anthropology to better understand "why" people eat what they do. She has been exploring that world, and how it impacts our beliefs and behavior, ever since. She lives on the Jersey shore where she takes daily meditative walks along the Atlantic and tends to her organic vegetable and herb gardens.
