Hi, I’m Dr. Rhonda Trust 👋
Professor. Registered Dietitian Nutritionist. Runner. A big believer that how we communicate about health matters just as much as the information itself.
I’ve spent years as a college professor studying and teaching communication. Today, I teach in the University of Miami School of Communication, where I’ve been able to bring two of my greatest passions together, including creating and teaching Nutrition & Communication, a course exploring the powerful intersection of nutrition, communication, and behavior change.
More recently, I went back to school to pursue another passion: Nutrition.
Becoming an RDN meant returning to the sciences, earning my M.S. in Nutrition & Dietetics, completing extensive supervised clinical training, and passing the national registration exam. It was challenging, and incredibly rewarding.
Today, I get to bring my two worlds together: Nutrition + communication + behavior change. I teach, conduct research, engage in community service, work with patients, and share evidence-based nutrition in a way that I hope feels practical and doable in real life.
Then there’s running. It’s become an important part of my own health journey, and I’m currently training for my next half marathon, always setting new goals for myself.✨
This page is where all of those pieces come together: Food, nutrition science, communication, teaching, running, and real life.
If you’re new here, welcome. 🌿 I’m glad you’re here.
Dr. Rhonda Trust, PhD, MS, RDN
