  <description>&lt;p&gt;100 episodes AND four years of But First, Pivot!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For this milestone episode, Dani is joined by fellow Pivot dietitian Sam to answer YOUR questions, and nothing was off limits.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;How do we really feel about weight loss medications? &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;WTF is happening during perimenopause? &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Is cortisol actually making you gain belly fat? &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Should you take creatine? &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Are Perfect Bars actually a good source of protein? &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What do dietitians buy at the grocery store? &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Should you eat after 7PM?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We also answer questions about pregnancy, supplements, sweet cravings, protein powders, energy drinks, strength training, weight loss after 60, AND the celebrity we would want to have on the podcast!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thank you for listening, submitting your questions, and being here for 100 episodes. &lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;One year ago I found out I was pregnant, so it only made sense to hire a social media manager to ensure I had consistent content during the roller coaster ride that comes with pregnancy. In this episode, Kaylie shares how working for a registered dietitian empowered her to make small changes that helped her feel better than she has in years!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In this episode:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Coffee is not a meal&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Importance of eating enough&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Impact of protein&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Importance of sustainable habits&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Planning ahead&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Favorite recipes&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Taking imperfect action&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Guest: Kaylie Ricks&lt;br&gt;
Kaylie Ricks is the CEO of Run Away with Kay, a virtual assistance business specializing in social media management, copywriting, and digital marketing.
