"I make sure to read a wide range of studies on a weekly basis. Most recently, I read an article on the connection between nightshade plants and inflammation. I have had my autoimmune clients off of nightshades for some time now, but it was interesting to see the effect these plants have on individuals with thyroid issues as well."

Now is time to pull that trick card from your sleeve! Are you interviewing for a position at a school or medical facility? Think about that last study or article you read that directly relates to the position you are applying to. Don't try to bluff your way through this question. Chances are they will know what article you are referring to. Take the information you read in the study and tell the interviewer why it interested you. Show the interviewer your enthusiasm to do amazing things at the new job and that you'll be using studies and articles you've read as your guide to improve in your career.

"I recently read a paper on the critical evaluation of the application of biomarkers in epidemiological studies on diet and health. The article went on to discuss one of the challenges of epidemiological studies is the challenge of accurately measuring the dietary intake of patients. It was fascinating to see how important diet is when it comes to participants."
