It was an absolute pleasure to sit down with my guest today, Amanda Foti! Amanda is a registered dietitian from New York with a Master’s degree in Clinical Nutrition. She’s also the Director at Healthie — a comprehensive platform for nutritional and wellness care. But, most excitingly (for me), she’s also an entrepreneur who got the start-up itch.
Today’s conversation is all about how we can eat better as mission-minded entrepreneurs. And it’s a really interesting one too! Amanda uniquely contextualized nutrition and nutritional optimization for the world of entrepreneurs. We also got into the types of foods that she recommends for her clients in terms of maximizing energy and shifting our habits, and, had a really fascinating conversation around the psychology of eating (why is it that we pick the foods that we do? And what are the influences on the types of foods that we naturally select for our bodies?)
As an entrepreneur, it is key to eat healthily and maintain optimal nutrition! You’ll want to tune in for this one.

“Badass,” is a really great way to describe my guest today. Dr. Keira Barr is a global speaker, international best-selling author, educator, and dual board-certified dermatologist who’s been in practice for the last 20 years. But what makes her really exceptional at being able to talk about skin health in an integrative capacity is her own story as a cancer survivor. Ironically, as someone who’s trained in dermatology, she found herself face-to-face with a diagnosis of skin cancer. It was this that was really part of what galvanized her to want to look at skin health from an upstream perspective.
Our conversation today really looked at the ins and outs of sunscreen, some of the key factors that we see in terms of people who have exceptional skin health, and some of the things we should be looking at if skin health is something you have struggled with or want to look at from a preventative capacity.
Our skin is one of the things that we project outwardly; it’s part of our brand. It gives us confidence. It’s critical to us when we’re talking about health but also when we have the confidence to step forward as entrepreneurs on a mission that we are all focused on.
