Bonnie Taub-Dix, RDN - Media Trainer, Nutrition Consultant, Author
Ever wonder what it really takes to see your name in a byline or your expertise featured in the media? It’s not luck. It’s strategy. I’m a registered dietitian nutritionist, award-winning author of Read It Before You Eat It – Taking You from Label to Table, founder of BetterThanDieting.com, and a media expert with thousands of appearances across TV, radio, podcasts, print, and digital platforms. While many know me for my nutrition expertise, my true passion is helping professionals communicate what they know clearly and confidently. After more than 30 years working with editors, producers, brands, and audiences, I’ve learned what makes messages land — and what gets ignored. Join my newsletter for practical media insight, behind-the-scenes lessons, and the kind of real-world guidance I wish someone had shared with me earlier. Whether you want to be on camera or behind the scenes, I’ll help you build credibility, confidence, and opportunities that last. Let’s get started.

The Story Behind the Story
Hi Reader! I’ve noticed something interesting lately. More reporters are reaching out with very specific questions about magnesium, multivitamins, protein trends, fiber and gut health. And at the same time, I’m hearing from professionals who want to be part of these conversations… but hesitate. So today’s note blends both worlds. What reporters are asking.What not to say in interviews.And a reminder that your voice matters more than you think. So here’s what I’m seeing and what it means for...

READ POSTA Thank You 🙏🏻 A Tease 🤔… and Something Special Ahead 🎉
Hi Reader! As we close out another year of pitching, posting, recording, refining, second-guessing, and then showing up anyway… I just want to say thank you. This community means more to me than you know. Every email you send, every message you share, every small win you celebrate reminds me why I love helping media-makers find their voices and use them well. This world we work in isn’t always easy. It can feel crowded, noisy, and sometimes discouraging. But when you have a place where people...
READ POSTPacked to the Brim (Yes, I’m an Over-Packer!)
Hi Reader! As we wrap up this year, I want to take a moment to wish you good health, happiness, and everything you wish for yourself in the year ahead. I don’t usually talk about politics, and I won’t start now, but it’s impossible not to notice how chaotic our world can feel lately. All the more reason to take care of ourselves ... gently, realistically, and in ways that still leave room for joy. That’s always been my goal with this newsletter… to be a trusted place where you can find...
READ POSTYou’re a Big Part of My Thanksgiving Gratitude
Hi Reader! This time of year always brings gratitude into sharper focus. It reminds me how important it is to notice the things that support us daily — the meals we enjoy, the people who ground us, and the small habits that make us feel our best. I try to carry that spirit of appreciation throughout the year. And today, I want to say how sincerely grateful I am for you. Your trust, your time, and your interest in what I share mean more than you know. Today's issue brings you stories about...
READ POSTThe moment that changed everything (and I almost missed it)
Hi Reader! You know those moments that change everything, but you only realize it after they’ve happened?That’s how my media training business began. Years ago, a fellow dietitian reached out before her very first TV appearance. She had thousands of followers on Instagram, a brand-new book, and absolutely no clue what to do once those studio lights went on. She was nervous.She was excited.And she wanted to make sure she didn’t waste her big break. We spent time walking through everything,...
READ POSTHow I Handle Heat...in the Kitchen + in the Media
Hi Reader! This month has been a mix of pinch-me moments and powerful reminders of why I love this work so much. First, some big news: I’m officially a contributor to EatingWell magazine! 🥳 This one feels especially full-circle since I’ve loved the magazine for years (and I'm quoted in it many times). It’s a reminder that media relationships can grow in unexpected, and incredibly rewarding, ways when you keep showing up and adding value. Bonnie's Bites shows how a last-minute food demo...
READ POSTStay Strong. Stay Sharp. Stay Seen.
Hi Reader! If it feels like “longevity” is the new buzzword, you’re not wrong. Everyone seems to be talking about how to live longer… but I think the real magic is in figuring out how to live better while we’re here. And you know me, I’m all in on diet playing such a critical role in how long we live and how well we live. But that’s not the whole story. Exercise, muscle maintenance, and even the work we do (and how we show up doing it) all matter just as much when it comes to living a long,...
