Full transcript
- 0:00Hey friends, I hope you're doing well.
- 0:02I'm so happy to see you in this new
- 0:04YouTube video because today we're going
- 0:06to talk about my career, how I became a
- 0:08dietician, nutritionist, why this job
- 0:10and especially how I became a content
- 0:12creator, influencer on social networks
- 0:14and how I manage to make a living from
- 0:15it. So here we go. Remember to
- 0:18subscribe and leave me a little like.
- 0:23Let's start at the beginning. I'm 23
- 0:25years old, I come from the Pays de la
- 0:27Loire, more specifically from Vendé.
- 0:29So, I mainly studied around Nant if you
- 0:31know me, or in Nant actually. I did a
- 0:34general science baccalaureate which I
- 0:37got with honors in 2019. I've always
- 0:39loved science subjects, everything that
- 0:42is, uh, math, science, biology, physics
- 0:44, chemistry, all of that was for me. On
- 0:47the contrary, anything that was English
- 0:50, Spanish, French, philosophy or
- 0:52anything that was too complicated for
- 0:54me. But I still did it. I was always a
- 0:57very studious student, not the class
- 0:59nerd but almost. I always participated,
- 1:01asked lots of questions. I was still
- 1:03interested in quite a few things. But
- 1:05you know, we all have our little
- 1:07preferences and for me it was mainly
- 1:09science subjects. And it was during my
- 1:11last year of high school that I decided
- 1:14to become a dietician and nutritionist.
- 1:17But it wasn't my first choice. In fact,
- 1:19I always wanted to be a midwife, and I
- 1:22even want to say: the job that has
- 1:24always stayed in my head, even today,
- 1:26but hey, maybe I didn't go for a
- 1:28master's degree, was to become a
- 1:30forensic pathologist. It may seem
- 1:32strange to many, but I am very, very
- 1:34interested in everything related to
- 1:36anatomy, physiology, how the human body
- 1:39works, how it works, the organs, why,
- 1:41how. So in fact, my idea was to go to
- 1:44medical school and spend years studying
- 1:47medicine to become a midwife, a
- 1:50forensic pathologist, a surgeon, and so
- 1:53on. But it wasn't a given because these
- 1:55are quite complicated studies. I didn't
- 1:58really know if I had what it takes to
- 1:59do this type of study. And it's mainly
- 2:01because I was fed up with classes. I
- 2:02didn't want to embark on years of study
- 2:04. Then one day, I attended a trade fair
- 2:06in Nant and that's when I discovered
- 2:08the profession of dietician,
- 2:09nutritionist and I said to myself, well
- 2:11, this is made for me. Plus, the
- 2:13studies are shorter. So, that's when I
- 2:15started to find out more. I attended
- 2:17the open days of the school where I was
- 2:20then accepted. I met the teachers and
- 2:22found my calling at the last minute. So
- 2:25I went on Parcours Supéresse of course
- 2:30and this school, the Cofapifome school
- 2:32in Nant, which is for me an incredible
- 2:34school that teaches a BTS in dietetics.
- 2:37To become a dietician or nutritionist,
- 2:39you can either do a BTS in dietetics,
- 2:41which is what I did, or a BUT in
- 2:43biological engineering with a dietetics
- 2:45option, which is done at university.
- 2:47These are the only two courses that can
- 2:50allow you to obtain a state-recognized
- 2:52dietician-nutritionist diploma. And
- 2:55that's the most important thing. If you
- 2:57don't have a state-recognized diploma,
- 2:58you can't practice, you don't have the
- 3:00right to do so and you especially can't
- 3:02call yourself a dietician or a
- 3:03dietician-nutritionist. By the way, as
- 3:05a quick aside, what's the difference
- 3:07between a dietician and a nutritionist?
- 3:09Actually, nutritionist doesn't mean
- 3:11anything. That's why you should be
- 3:12careful on social media. If you see
- 3:14someone calling themselves a nutrition
- 3:16coach or a nutritionist, it doesn't
- 3:17mean anything. The person doesn't
- 3:19understand the difference. So they
- 3:21don't necessarily have a
- 3:22state-recognized degree and haven't
- 3:23completed comprehensive training.
- 3:25Nutritionist is just a term. For
- 3:27example, a doctor can specialize and
- 3:29become a nutritionist. As a dietician,
- 3:32I necessarily specialize in nutrition.
- 3:35So, I am necessarily a
- 3:36dietician-nutritionist. So, where was I
- 3:38? If you don't have a science degree,
- 3:41it's more complicated to get into a
- 3:43school to become a dietician or a
- 3:45dietician-nutritionist or to get into a
- 3:47BUT in genetics with a dietetics option
- 3:50because these are studies that are a
- 3:52bit more focused on science, but there
- 3:54are preparatory years to retrain. For
- 3:56example, I know that my Cofapif school
- 3:58in Nant has a preparatory year before
- 4:00joining this BTS in dietetics. This
- 4:03allowed students who had not taken a
- 4:05science baccalaureate to then join this
- 4:07BTS in dietetics and therefore have a
- 4:09refresher course. In terms of the
- 4:11subjects I took during the BTS in
- 4:13dietetics, to give you an idea, my
- 4:15favorite subjects were physiology,
- 4:18pathology, and micrology. We also had
- 4:20economics, management, and accounting.
- 4:22Well, I wasn't a fan of that. We had a
- 4:25little bit of English, but I was a
- 4:26dunce. It was two years of study that
- 4:28were quite complicated because it's
- 4:30quite condensed. The BTS in dietetics
- 4:31is one of the hardest BTSs, let's not
- 4:33hide it. It's very condensed over 2
- 4:36years. We had a lot of material. I have
- 4:38a lot of workbooks that we had to learn
- 4:41over 2 years. I think I had Yeah, 12 or
- 4:4414 binders, big binders. I'll show you
- 4:46one. I've obviously kept all my binders
- 4:48, I never throw them away. It's kind of
- 4:50like, I don't know, everything is
- 4:52written on them. They have my entire
- 4:54education, my notes, everything I
- 4:57learned. I have memories of them. For
- 4:59me, it's a bit nostalgic when I talk
- 5:00about them because I loved those
- 5:01studies. I learned so many things. Here
- 5:03, for example. So this was my food
- 5:06knowledge binder. I'll show you. Ah, it
- 5:10feels weird to open a binder again.
- 5:13Here, for example, we have fats. I've
- 5:15never made index cards in my life. I
- 5:17know that there were lots of people who
- 5:19had their little box with all the
- 5:20little cards because in fact my cards
- 5:22were my binders. So it happened
- 5:23sometimes before tests or before the
- 5:25exam. They all had their little index
- 5:27cards. Well, I would come with my
- 5:29binders, I would take out my binders, I
- 5:30would look at, oh yes, this course. And
- 5:31in fact, I know my binders by heart. In
- 5:33what order, how they are made. In fact,
- 5:35my binders are my giant index cards.
- 5:37Basically, I am the one who has never
- 5:38had a computer in class. That is to say
- 5:46, I write everything by hand.
- 5:52Everything, everything...Then, I left
- 5:59for 2 years of a BTS in dietetics. In
- 6:022021, I graduated as a dietician and
- 6:05nutritionist with an average of about
- 6:0814, I think. And then, once I graduated
- 6:12, I was fed up, I was sick of classes.
- 6:15I said to myself, "That's it, I have my
- 6:17degree. I just want to do nothing,
- 6:19really. I just want to take a year off.
- 6:22" Don't do anything anymore. In fact, I
- 6:24didn't want to jump straight into work.
- 6:26Especially since I didn't really know
- 6:27what I wanted to do with this degree. I
- 6:29didn't know if I wanted to go freelance
- 6:31, work in a hospital, or visit people.
- 6:33Well, I didn't really know. I was a bit
- 6:36lost. My brain was about to explode.
- 6:38And at that time, my boyfriend was in
- 6:41his third year of a language degree and
- 6:44we went on a sabbatical year in
- 6:46Scotland for a year. So in fact, I
- 6:48ended up in Scotland for 9 months with
- 6:50a degree in dietician nutrition in a
- 6:53country where English is spoken, of
- 6:55course, but I didn't speak English. And
- 6:58so in fact, it gave me a break, except
- 7:00that a month, 2 months, 3 months in
- 7:02Scotland is good, but I started to
- 7:04think to myself, well Zoé, maybe you
- 7:06should do something with your skin. No,
- 7:09except that I couldn't really practice
- 7:11my profession as a dietician
- 7:12nutritionist there because it's not
- 7:13recognized the same as in France, and
- 7:15above all, I didn't speak a word of
- 7:17English. Well, I knew how to say "Hello
- 7:19, my name is Zoé, I'm tit." And of
- 7:23course, I was a big user of TikTok,
- 7:25Instagram, all that. I thought to
- 7:27myself, "Why not Zoi, why don't you
- 7:29film your recipes just for fun? Come on
- 7:31, let's try things out." And in fact, I
- 7:33started on TikTok, I thought to myself,
- 7:35"Okay, I'm going to grab my phone." Uh,
- 7:37I had taken two rolls of soap, you know
- 7:39, and I had actually put my phone
- 7:42between these two rolls of soap. And
- 7:44then I realized that it didn't work at
- 7:46all. So, I racked my brains, I put it
- 7:48on a window and then I tried to show a
- 7:50little bit, well I should find a video,
- 7:52one of the first videos that I made and
- 7:54in fact, well, I started posting TikTok
- 7:56videos like that. I was doing what I
- 7:59had on my save. Especially since our
- 8:01kitchen was completely awful in its
- 8:02original state. The floor was coming
- 8:04off. There were holes in the walls.
- 8:05Anyway, I won't tell you about it, but
- 8:07I did it anyway. And there's one video
- 8:09that worked, it's my stuffed butternut
- 8:11squash on TikTok. I posted it and 2
- 8:13days later, 70,000 views, 10,000
- 8:16subscribers in a week. At that point, I
- 8:20thought, OK, there's something to do.
- 8:22Except that it was a recipe where, uh,
- 8:25at the beginning, I said, uh, healthy
- 8:27and delicious recipe, stuffed butternut
- 8:29squash. Obviously, there are a lot of
- 8:31food prejudices. I got criticized for
- 8:34that video. I remember, I got comments
- 8:36and well, I actually said to myself,
- 8:38either this world isn't for me or, Zoé
- 8:40, you're going to stop. It's not
- 8:42possible. I almost started crying.
- 8:44Luckily, I had my boyfriend with me who
- 8:46motivated me, who told me, "Don't worry
- 8:47about it, you're smarter than that" and
- 8:49so on. Except that it's easy to say,
- 8:51but when it concerns you and it affects
- 8:53you personally, when you're in bed at
- 8:55night and you get comments that touch
- 8:57you on your video, on the work you've
- 8:59done, well, I can tell you that it's
- 9:01hard to create a shell and move on. But
- 9:03hey, I said to myself, Zoé, you can't
- 9:05let people talk to you. And I continued
- 9:07making my little videos. So every day,
- 9:09I posted a TikTok video, but I was
- 9:11still on TikTok, so my followers
- 9:12started to grow. Of course, I had
- 9:14positive comments, I had good feedback.
- 9:16And then, I said to myself, "Well, Zoé
- 9:18, why don't you also put yourself on
- 9:20Instagram and YouTube?" There will
- 9:21always be negative comments. There will
- 9:23always be stupid people, unfortunately.
- 9:24But that's how it is. Do what you like,
- 9:27enjoy it, and we'll see what happens.
- 9:29In fact, I started receiving emails
- 9:31offering me collaborations, and at that
- 9:33point, I didn't really know anything
- 9:34about it. I thought to myself, "Wait,
- 9:36wait, wait, wait, what are the rates?
- 9:37Based on what? What is a brief,
- 9:39actually? What is the brand going to
- 9:41tell me?" I asked myself a lot of
- 9:42questions and then, well, I did some
- 9:44research, I looked into it little by
- 9:46little, and then, well, that's how it
- 9:49happened. At the same time, I started
- 9:51to create a micro-business and started
- 9:53doing online consultations. In fact, I
- 9:56was treating patients via
- 9:57teleconsultation. I didn't have many,
- 10:00but it was something. It was cool. Then
- 10:02, once my year in Scotland was over, I
- 10:04became an online dietician and
- 10:05nutritionist, I treated patients and on
- 10:07the side, I made my little videos on
- 10:09TikTok and Instagram. Nouvellela, still
- 10:11in the context of my boyfriend's
- 10:12studies, who went to Spain for an
- 10:14Erasmus year. It was an incredible year
- 10:18, really incredible, where we met great
- 10:21people of different nationalities. You
- 10:24know, the Erasmus years are like that,
- 10:27meeting people, enjoying life, enjoying
- 10:30life. Except that I was more of a
- 10:32student at that time. I worked online.
- 10:34So, in fact, I adapted. I always made
- 10:35my own little recipes. We changed
- 10:37accommodation, I don't know how many
- 10:38times. I found myself in kitchens, but
- 10:41it was almost impossible to film. In
- 10:43fact, I always adapted. I think that
- 10:46during the 2 years that I created
- 10:48content on social networks until today,
- 10:51I have never filmed a recipe in a
- 10:53kitchen, out of all the recipes that
- 10:55you see on Instagram. You should know
- 10:58that I always took a table that I
- 11:00pushed against a window. The most
- 11:02important thing is not necessarily the
- 11:04kitchen, it's the light. And so, I
- 11:06always put myself, I often filmed
- 11:08outside too, and that's what allowed me
- 11:10to have a beautiful light and having a
- 11:12rather interesting video quality. And
- 11:14it was during that year that I gained a
- 11:16lot of subscribers, you know. I had
- 11:18exceeded 100,000 for a little while on
- 11:21Instagram, on TikTok too. So I kept
- 11:24going, it was going well. At that point
- 11:26, I was starting to make a living from
- 11:28social media, accumulating partnerships
- 11:30. Of course, I always chose
- 11:32partnerships in line with my values and
- 11:33what I wanted to share with you. And
- 11:35then, in fact, an agency contacted me,
- 11:37the Yebi agency. And I joined this
- 11:39agency to help me with everything that
- 11:42would involve managing my partnerships,
- 11:45my collaborations, my projects, how to
- 11:47improve, how to do it. And in fact, it
- 11:50was the best decision I made in my life
- 11:52as a content creator because it allowed
- 11:55me to have a real springboard and to be
- 11:57able to live off it. 100%social media.
- 12:00And that's really what's important,
- 12:02getting help. It can help you move
- 12:05forward and that's really important. So
- 12:07, at the same time, I was in Spain, so
- 12:08I was living my little life. It was
- 12:11great. So, of course, during those 2
- 12:13years when I was in Scotland for 1 year
- 12:14and in Spain for 1 year, well, I was
- 12:16actually rubbish at languages, so I
- 12:17learned on the job to speak English and
- 12:19Spanish. I don't speak English very
- 12:20well and Spanish very well. In fact, it
- 12:22was quite complicated. Luckily, I had
- 12:23my boyfriend with me, who speaks both
- 12:25languages very well and who was able to
- 12:27help me and often translate
- 12:28conversations for me. It wasn't always
- 12:30easy, but I managed and today I can get
- 12:32by in both languages, even though
- 12:33during my studies, I got 2/20 in
- 12:35listening comprehension. So, in 2022, I
- 12:37graduated from college. I really
- 12:38started to make a living from social
- 12:40media and at the same time I continued
- 12:41my little consultations. Once our
- 12:43Erasmus year was over, well I found
- 12:46myself in Austria, still as part of my
- 12:49boyfriend's studies. We traveled again,
- 12:52we went to the center of Europe. So
- 12:54there, we went all around the center of
- 12:56Europe. Bratislava, Prague, Budapest,
- 13:00it was great. So there, they speak
- 13:03German there but he speaks English. So
- 13:05we ended up speaking English, all that.
- 13:07Same thing, the kitchen was awful, no
- 13:09light at all. I remember, I was turning
- 13:11around in the room because it was in
- 13:13the room that there was a ray of light
- 13:14which was rather nice. In Austria, we
- 13:16were in Vienna. Incredible experience.
- 13:18We stayed there for months. During the
- 13:20summer of July-August 2023 and today we
- 13:23are on Camp Car so always, in fact, I
- 13:25have always followed my boyfriend who
- 13:28is finishing his studies at university
- 13:30on camp. In fact, I have always adapted
- 13:32to it and I also want to be able to
- 13:34follow it. So today, to give you a
- 13:36typical day, in the morning I create
- 13:38content because the morning has the
- 13:41most light, so it will often be content
- 13:43for YouTube or Instagram where I make
- 13:46recipes. The rest of the day will
- 13:48depend on what I have to do and what I
- 13:50want to post in the evening. So it
- 13:52could be a bit of editing, an online
- 13:55nutritional consultation, thinking
- 13:57about new content. Often, I sit down
- 14:00and ask myself, what would you like to
- 14:02do, Zoe? What recipe would you like to
- 14:03make next? And in fact, I make lists,
- 14:05lists, lists. I do this every day,
- 14:07every day and it really helps me to
- 14:08organize myself. Every day is different
- 14:10, I like it. I have lots of ideas, lots
- 14:12of projects. I love what I do. I have
- 14:14always given myself the means to
- 14:16succeed in doing what I want. to do and
- 14:18I will continue to do so. And I am very
- 14:21, very happy to have the community that
- 14:23I have today. All of this is obviously
- 14:25thanks to you. I am very grateful. It's
- 14:27crazy. It's crazy. I often say it, it's
- 14:29crazy. I have trouble realizing things
- 14:31sometimes. Of course, I always have
- 14:32projects in mind. So I released my
- 14:35first ebook a few months ago now,
- 14:38almost a year ago, which you really
- 14:41enjoyed. It's a special ebook on
- 14:43rebalancing your diet. I released a
- 14:45similar nutrition and sports program
- 14:47not long ago, at the beginning of the
- 14:50year, that you like. Many of you have
- 14:52already started your first sports
- 14:53sessions, are following the program to
- 14:55get back in shape, and include physical
- 14:57activity in your daily life, and that's
- 14:59great. I have another project coming
- 15:02soon. You're going to love it because
- 15:03you ask me about it all the time, all
- 15:05the time, but hey, I'll keep it a
- 15:06surprise for you, I won't tell you
- 15:07anything. So there you have it, the
- 15:09short video is over. I hope that's it
- 15:10you liked it. I think I covered
- 15:12everything. Don't forget anything.
- 15:14Don't hesitate if you have any
- 15:15questions. I send you lots of kisses
- 15:17and I'll see you soon in the next video
- 15:20. Bye. Bye.
