Welcome back, listeners! My guest today is Vanessa Rissetto, MS, RD, CDN (listen to part one with Vanessa, here). She's the CEO & co-founder of Culina Health, and today we’re discussing everything from venture capital in health tech to her latest funding round; the intersection of wellness & entrepreneurship, and the misinformation that’s running rampant about food, nutrition & health amongst VC’s & capital allocators.
We discuss:
Why investing in biotech & consumer electronics for “metabolic health” is missing the mark
The business of healthcare: How & why type II diabetes & obesity are fattening the wallets of those who benefit from rising healthcare costs
The state of dietetics: Licensure vs. certification; the Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics’ recent misplaced efforts that are cannibalizing the dietetics profession, and why evidence-based practitioners need to start advocating for their credentials
What the media gets wrong (and right) about the politicization of food & nutrition
