First of all…I just want to say thank you for being at my site and reading this! Sticking through the glitches but my site is finally functional- just getting some tweaks. This website, business, and blog mean a lot to me and even if you have no plans to use my coaching services I am happy to have you here!  

I feel one of my main duties (for a lack of a better word) is to help you decipher through the BS. There is sooo much misinformation surrounding food. Confusing studies, products, diets, and terminology. For example...what is a RD?! In order to become a Registered Dietitian or “RD” you need at least a Bachelors in Science, complete basically a year of field experience (generally unpaid) as an intern, pass an exam, and then complete yearly continuing education. A “nutritionist” usually has no qualifications. I remember my Freshman year of college my professor signed her dogs up to be “certified nutritionists” to exemplify this BS. I could go on and on about this topic…but that is for a different blog.

SO why am I a RD? I really enjoy helping people improve their health, I freaking love food, and I am a nerd that likes science. What about this “21st Century” part? I have been an RD for about 2.5 years. I am new at this. I do NOT see this as a disadvantage. I want to work with young women who are likeminded. I want to work with someone who thinks they don’t have time or the energy to change their lifestyle. I want to work with someone who watches the Bachelorette and enjoys a couple glasses of wine. Because I am right there with you! 

I think what sets me apart from other dietitians is I am very down to earth. I will meet you wherever you are at. I am all about balance. I encourage lifelong healthy habits and highly discourage dieting. I also do not believe that one’s body weight us all that indicative of one’s health. Health and skinny are NOT synonyms. I know plenty of underweight individuals that are extremely unhealthy, and I know lots people who are considered overweight that are in great health. 

As the “21st Century RD” I am committing to giving you the most up to date nutritional science. I am also meeting you here, today, in the modern world. As times change so does the way we eat and I am here to help. Added bonus my virtual private practice allows us to meet when it is convenient for you.
