Instead of reinventing the wheel creating client handouts or spending hours researching, DSC gives dietitians access to ready-to-use, expert-backed resources that make your job easier and more impactful.
At DSC, we are guided by:
MISSION
Helping dietitians turn knowledge into action. We provide practical, high-quality client resources and professional development to support dietitians at every stage of their career. We equip dietitians to drive meaningful client change and build careers that are both sustainable and fulfilling.
VISION
Elevating the future of dietetics. We imagine a world where dietitians feel confident, capable, and respected. They are equipped with modern resources, evidence-based & updated continuing education, and the support they need to lead innovation and impact in health care.
GOALS
Delivering consistent, high-quality content that supports dietitians and students. We release new client handouts and learning tools monthly, host quarterly CEU-approved workshops, and keep our resources up to date with a 6-36 month content review cycle.
The DSC Team
DSC currently includes 3 core team members. We also work with countless dietitians on a contract basis. Reinvesting back into the dietetics profession and employing dietitians is a priority for us.
Meet Krista, Founder & CEO
Krista Kolodziejzyk, RD, MPH, MBA founded Dietitian Success Center in 2021 born out of a need she had as a dietitian.
