My Expert Service
|
|
I am a Registered Dietitian, Licensed Dietitian, and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist. I graduated in 2000, with a B.S. in Nutritional Sciences. This degree coupled with 1000 hours of internship enabled me to sit for the RD exam. In 2004, I decided it was important for me to have a fitness certification as well. After careful review of the certifications available, I chose CSCS because it requires a Bachelor’s degree and was ultimately the highest esteemed certification available to me. I have worked with clients across the spectrum of weight and wellness: from those with anorexia/eating disorders to chronic dieters to those having gastric bypass surgery. And with this experience, I have realized that people focus on specific areas of nutrition (‘do this...don’t do that’), which while interesting (and often untrue), are quite possibly not the real problem at all. When dealing with the eating issues of most of the population, I have found that the nutritional content of any individual food is far less important than why that food is eaten.
This concept of searching for the real issues with food will be difficult and uncomfortable for most. But is it not more difficult to live a life filled with food and weight obsession? It is my goal to help people remember the natural relationship with food with which we were all born.
