In this episode of Success Your Own Way, Yifat Rogers shares her journey from growing up in Israel to becoming a food scientist, corporate leader, and now a consultant. A study abroad experience at NC State sparked her passion for food engineering, leading to a Master’s degree and PhD. Though she once aimed to be a professor, she pivoted to a 12-year career at General Mills before launching her own consulting business.
Yifat reflects on the pivotal decisions to study abroad and prioritize her health, which led to a 70-pound weight loss and renewed vitality. Her scientific background enabled her to make informed choices regarding nutrition, prioritizing long-term health metrics over short-term fixes.
She credits mentors for shaping her path and encourages others to challenge career “shoulds,” reflect on what truly matters, and trust the process. Her story is a powerful reminder that success is personal, nonlinear, and worth pursuing with intention.
