Elevate Yourself
Episode #65 — Fall Back into Wellness, with Dr. David Gaviria, PhD, RD Guest Bio Dr. David Gaviria, PhD, MPH, RD, LDN, is a registered dietitian and soon-to-be Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Nutrition at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He holds dual undergraduate degrees in Health Science and Psychology from the University of South Florida, a Master of Public Health in Nutrition & Dietetics from UNC Chapel Hill, and a PhD in Nutrition from UNC Chapel Hill. David’s research focuses on burnout in the health professions and military health—areas where supportive systems and prevention strategies are crucial. Outside of academic life, you’ll likely find him working on his cars or traveling (and eating great food) with his wife. Description In this episode of the Elevate Yourself podcast, Rob welcomes Dr. David Gaviria to help us “fall back into wellness” as we ease into a new season and embrace new routines. David shares insights from his work as a dietitian and researcher, offering a fresh perspective on the pillars of a healthy wellness routine and how to build habits that actually stick. A growing expert on burnout, David breaks down what burnout really is, how to identify it, and actionable factors that may help prevent or offset it—especially in the workplace. As fall brings a shift in seasonal foods, David also shares some of his favorite picks from the RD standpoint, along with practical guidance for listeners looking to optimize their well-being this time of year. Whether you’re revamping habits, fighting seasonal stress, or just looking to feel your best this fall, this conversation delivers both encouragement and evidence-based strategies to support your health.
