WHY NUTRITION MATTERS

Throughout your military career, you relied on facts, logic, and intuition to form strategies for success. You embraced opportunities, pivoted with new insights, and identified opposition with precision.

Health and wellness require this same diligence. In my Concierge Nutrition Health Coaching program, I am expertly positioned to help you pinpoint goals and apply cutting-edge science to fuel a future of excellence – filled with energy and vitality.

You deserve better than a one-size-fits-all wellness program with mediocre results at best. My programs are highly personalized and address underlying health challenges for sustainable results. With a clear path, appropriate tools, and accountability, I’ll help you adopt healthy lifestyle habits leading to a measurable difference in how you feel – both now and in the future. Invest wisely in the right coach, and enjoy your retirement experience.

Why a Master’s Degree in Nutrition Matters and Why Work with a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN)

A master's degree in nutrition signifies that I have extensive training and education in the field of nutrition, with the in-depth knowledge required to provide accurate and reliable information tailored to your specific needs. I am trained in evidence-based practice, ensuring the guidance I provide is based on sound research, leading to reliable, sustainable outcomes. I am equipped to analyze complex situations, identify barriers, and develop practical strategies to overcome challenges related to nutrition and dietary habits. This ability to think critically and provide tailored solutions is vital in helping you achieve your specific health and wellness goals.

As a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN), I have met the rigorous criteria to earn the RDN credential and use the title of Registered Dietitian. These criteria include

Completion of at least a bachelor’s degree (in 2024, the minimum will be completion of a master's degree, practice doctorate, or doctoral degree) that includes accredited coursework in food and nutrition sciences, biochemistry, physiology, microbiology, anatomy, chemistry, foodservice systems, business, pharmacology, culinary arts, behavioral, social sciences, and communication.
Completion of an accredited, supervised practice program (typically 6-12 months), with a minimum of 1,200 hours of experiential learning.
Passing a national exam administered by the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR).
Completing continuing professional educational requirements to maintain registration.

Formal education and training - and the credentials to prove it - are crucial when seeking nutritional coaching or counseling. My educational background ensures you accurate, personalized, and effective guidance.

Why Culinary Training Matters

Culinary training enables me to translate nutritional knowledge into practical, delicious meals. I can develop customized recipes, teach proper cooking techniques, and create customized meal plans that consider your nutritional requirements, while ensuring a wide range of flavors, textures, and nutrient-rich ingredients. By incorporating culinary expertise, my meal planning is an enjoyable and creative process, making it easier for you to maintain a balanced and satisfying diet.

Why Health Coach Certification matters

My Institute for Integrative Nutrition - Health Coach certification demonstrates my comprehensive training in holistic health and nutrition, with a well-rounded understanding of the interconnectedness between food, lifestyle, and overall well-being. I am equipped to provide personalized guidance beyond dietary recommendations. I can help you set and achieve goals, address emotional and behavioral patterns related to food, and support you in making sustainable lifestyle changes. This holistic approach allows me to consider various aspects of your life, such as stress, relationships, and self-care, in order to create a comprehensive and individualized wellness plan.

MY MILITARY STORY

I enlisted in the Navy just three months after graduating from high school. What started as a journey into the unknown quickly became a 21-year adventure filled with camaraderie and a profound sense of connection. My initial enlistment period passed, but I continued to serve proudly. Over those years, I absorbed vital life lessons in organization, discipline, grit, and an unwavering work ethic. I entered as a naive youngster with no clear direction, and I emerged as a determined, driven individual, always seeking opportunities for self-improvement.

My Civilian Transition

As a veteran, I understand the challenge of adjusting to civilian life after retirement. I focus on serving retired veterans because, after spending many years in the service, I understand that adjusting to undisciplined civilian ways can be frustrating and overwhelming. We veterans are a bit lost, because the structure and discipline are gone. I can ease the adjustment because I’ve been there, and I have the training, experience, credentials, desire, and passion to provide the very best nutrition and wellness coaching experience you can hope to have.
