Amber Pankonin, MS RD LMNT

Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Culinarian

Allow me to introduce myself properly. I’m Amber or “RD amber” as I’m known in the twittersphere.

I’m a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist passionate about food, nutrition science and agriculture. I work as a freelance Nutrition Communications Consultant, Podcast Host and I’m currently attending culinary school so that I can bring you the best recipes possible.

Those who know me best would say that I like to stir the pot. I’m sassy, sarcastic and my nutrition views are based on science, not popular hype. My friends call me a “realistic nutritionist” because I don’t quite the fit the mold of the perfect dietitian. But I love good food, Nebraska, creating cool things and I’m passionate about building community.

I also have a podcast called Healthy Under Pressure, which highlights the stories and struggles of entrepreneurs and busy people learning to live healthy under pressure.

Stirlist is my playlist of recipes.
