In today’s episode, we’re diving into a niche within dietetics that some may consider non-traditional—but that’s exactly the point. This conversation is all about what’s possible when you lean into your interests, trust your instincts, and create something that’s truly your own. If you’ve ever felt boxed into the idea that dietitians have to work in hospitals or traditional clinical roles, consider this your permission slip to think bigger. Dietitians are entrepreneurs, creators, innovators, and go-getters—and this episode is here to inspire you to build a program, practice, or path that aligns with who you are and how you want to show up in the world.

In this episode of Feed Me the Facts, Deanna sits down with Dekeira Horne, RD—registered dietitian, full-time content creator, and founder of The Vaj Reset. Dekeira shares how her own journey with chronic vaginal infections led her to create a unique, science-backed, mindset-centered approach to healing. She opens up about carving out a highly specific niche in dietetics, building a values-driven business that finally pays, and redefining what success looks like on her own terms.

From money and confidence to holistic care and self-trust, this conversation is all about empowering women to heal, reclaim their health, and step boldly into their worth—while showing that dietetics and entrepreneurship can go hand-in-hand.
