Get to Know Aprylle: From Biology to Dietitian
Aprylle, like many of you, found her dietetics path in a roundabout manner.
“I initially discovered the profession in high school, but the only roles I could find for dietitians at the time were either in the hospital or food service. Neither path appealed to me, so I became a biology major and trialed other career paths before going on to become a dietitian.
Four years later, I established my brand: The Teaching Dietitian. Preventative healthcare is so important, and it was the space that drew me to nutrition in the first place. RDNs have a leg up here because we can guide clients to make healthier decisions for their bodies in ways that other healthcare professionals can’t.”
Aprylle’s Workshop Content on WellResourced.com
“My content encompasses all educational pieces a dietitian might use to educate in their own community or private practice,” Aprylle shares. “There are done-for-you workshop toolkits – simply download and customize before presenting to your groups.
“I also provide workbooks for participants and guidebooks for dietitians to create their own powerful workshops. I started my dietetics career in nutrition education for SNAP-eligible families in my community; since then I’ve never really stopped putting on the ‘teacher’ hat.”
Aprylle has carved out a niche on WellResourced as the “workshop toolkit” store. Her content is impactful, simple, educational and effective.
“My ‘4E’ format: Engage my audience, Expand their knowledge-base, Exercise the new skills, and Elevate those skills is present in all of my workshop toolkits, helping to drive home lasting change.”

Prenatal Nutrition 101 Workshop Toolkit:
This jam-packed toolkit includes a PowerPoint presentation, lesson plan outline, Prenatal Supplements 101 reference sheet, Food Safety during Pregnancy reference sheet and much more. This is one of Aprylle’s favorites. She shares:
“After immersing myself in the prenatal nutrition space, it’s become evident how outdated the recommendations for pregnancy nutrition are. This workshop toolkit provides updated information for RDs so they can convey the nutritional requirements for pregnancy. It also provides an engaging educational opportunity for workshop participants to bust common prenatal nutrition myths.”

This goes to show that you don’t need to have a high-traffic site or a thousands followers to be a smashing success on WellResourced!
“I improved upon workshops that I had created in my early RD days,” Aprylle says. “I participated in the RDN Creator’s Challenge through WellResourced and since then have been consistently adding to my store and improving product offerings for RDs!”
Tip #2: Provide Add-Ons
Aprylle has followed the tried and true approach of drawing traffic to her store with free resources to ultimately sell a paid item.

Engaging content is a must – your workshop participants want to walk away feeling inspired and excited to improve their health!
“Check out my my ‘4E’ approach to creating engaging presentations. You’ll be sure to impress your clients and groups – which will result in repeat sessions for your business.”
