Today we’d like to introduce you to Brittany Beaver.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
My journey truly started when I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at the age of 26 back in 2014. I am a registered dietitian and always believed that I was healthy but that diagnosis changed the trajectory of my life. I was told diet and lifestyle played no role in my joints and as a dietitian, I knew that couldn’t possibly be true. After doing some research on my own, I discovered that people could help control their autoimmune symptoms with, you guessed it, diet and lifestyle! So I changed everything from the foods I was eating to the cleaning supplies I was using. It made a huge impact on my health.
Fast forward 4 years and I discovered a company called Beautycounter – safer skincare and makeup. I told myself I would never be “one of those girls, working for one of those companies”. I had a lot of misconceptions with direct sales and learned so much about what makes this one different. I nervously decided to link arms with this company because their mission aligned with my own and their products were incredible. Fast forward another 4 years to the present day and I lead a team of almost 100 women and it’s my full time job. I am passionate about empowering women to make safer swaps in their homes and Beautycounter is just one piece to that puzzle.
I now have kids, ages 3 and 6 months and have a blossoming nutrition private practice focusing on preconception, prenatal, postpartum, and baby led weaning nutrition. I have an office in Old Town Spring but also see clients virtually. I truly believe we can impact not only our children’s health but their children’s health by our nutrition and lifestyle before and during pregnancy. I am honored to work with families to optimize their nutrition during such a pivotal time in their lives.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
The journey has certainly not been linear. As with starting any new venture, there are struggles and nerves along the way. But the most important thing is being brave and following my dreams, even through fear. If I waited until I was truly ready or for when it was the perfect time, I never would have said yes to Beautycounter or starting my own private nutrition practice.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I am a registered dietitian specializing in preconception, prenatal, and postpartum nutrition. I see clients in person in Old Town Spring, Texas and virtually. I offer one on one sessions, group classes, and even have a newly launched Baby Led Weaning self-paced course online. My goal is to empower women to take control of their health because they are often the gatekeepers of food and products in the home. They can really make a huge impact on their whole family and themselves with small, consistent changes in both nutrition, lifestyle, and the products they bring into their homes. I am passionate about education and do that consistently on my Instagram stories (@thepaleodietitian) with a growing community.
Do you have any advice for those looking to network or find a mentor?
Talking to anyone and everyone. You never know who will be the next client, partner, or who they may know. Put yourself out there and be genuine.
