My name is Marci Clow and I’ve been a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) for almost 25 years (yes, I graduated college at age 15).  I started my career as an RDN working in a clinical setting and realized that I needed to know more about dietary supplements because so many patients were using them. I started working in the supplement industry where I gained invaluable experience and insight into the benefits, risks and regulatory world surrounding supplements. 

Over the years I’ve become passionate about nutrition communications and writing materials that can be trusted and easily understood. I enjoy the challenge of reading between the headlines and sorting through the barrage of misinformation which consumers now have available at their fingertips, which is the focus of my blog, Nutritious or Fictitious? I have developed a wide range of nutrition communication materials ranging from educational toolkits for retailers and referenced papers for clinicians, to label copy for dietary supplements and interpreting nutrition research for consumers. In 2013 I began to use my nutrition, regulatory and food expertise as a freelancer providing content for development of materials for websites, blogs, lectures, print, TV, and social media.

The word “clout” is used to describe one’s ability to influence their community, and RDN’s are the most credible influencers in the municipality of food and nutrition. As a writer I love a good play on words, as an RDN I feel strongly about providing evidence-based influential content on all topics related to food and nutrition, plus my last name happens to be Clow… hence Clowt Content, your source for evidence-based food and nutrition content with clout.
