Rebecca Turner

Before you scroll on, I’d like to thank you for taking an interest in me, my life and my work. It’s in my DNA to strive for a life of excellence and good health, but as you know, figuring out how to balance it all can be a challenge. Not to mention, the world says that women, in particular, should be able to do it all, take care of everyone, need nothing from anyone, and look smoking hot while doing it. Most women go through life questioning themselves, doubting their abilities to juggle the world’s expectations, and viciously chase a vain vision of wellness that robs their joy and energy to manage the things that matter.

My journey has been full of peaks and valleys. At times, I have felt certain and then uncertain. Strong, then insecure. Determined and defeated. Fearless and also drowning in fear. But throughout it all, one thing has always been constant: My faith and my passion for helping you take control of your health. It wasn't until my thirties that I started taking control of my spiritual, mental, and physical health for the right reasons, discovering God’s vision for my life, and pursuing that without worrying about the world’s standard. I’m ready to bring you on that journey with me.

I am a faith-centered author, registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN), radio host, television presenter, and a certified specialist in sports dietetics (CSSD) with the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Over the last decade, I have obtained extensive experience in broadcast and print media, specializing in creating multimedia content on diet and nutrition for the general public and competitive athletes.

Through print, TV, and radio, I strive to provide sensible nutrition advice to a statewide and national audience. I work with Mississippi Public Broadcasting's healthy eating show, Fit to Eat, and the Emmy Award-winning children's show, Ed Said. I often appear on WLBT / FOX 40-TV as a wellness expert and create nutrition-based features for national publications.

Through my books, Mind Over Fork, and Enjoy Good Health, I hope to challenge how you think more than what you eat. Weekdays, you will find me hosting a statewide talk radio show, Good Things with Rebecca Turner, on SuperTalk Mississippi.

I am a proud graduate of the University of Southern Mississippi (USM) with a bachelor and master of science degree in nutrition and food systems. In 2012, I received the Mississippi Recognized Young Dietitian of the Year and received the Circle of Excellence Award from SUDIA in 2014.
