REGISTERED DIETITIAN
RENAL NUTRITION SPECIALIST
Talk. Interact. Comfort. Lift.
Guide. Direct. Inspire.
I've worked with restrictive diets my entire career. Especially the renal diet. I believe food is an incredible part of all our lives. We use food to acknowledge the most important events of life, connect with family and friends, and sometimes even to give us solace when we're feeling down (yeah, me too!). But not every dish on the table is good for us to put in our mouth. My message is about putting the magic back into food for those who feel they have "restrictions." The key? Can have! My message is about making all diets both livable and lovable. That means we talk about clear, specific guidelines and products, great cooking tips, giant splashes of creativity and a big ol' dash of humor for dietary oops! We gain confidence and energy as we learn how to eat to nourish our own individual body and embrace food as a wonderful, part of our life. That is my message. And guess what? It is not only fun, but it will completely change your mind about what the word "diet" really means for your life and in your life.
